Frustrated with SO 😢

Amanda

I am coming here to vent because I do not know where else to go. I love my SO so much, but he makes me so frustrated and being pregnant again, it is just making me so emotional. Our 2 girls (8M &1yr) never get to see a lot of his family, about a week and a half ago he casually brought up that his family are having a Christmas Party this Friday, instead of on Christmas. This made me so mad because he had known for a few days before, never brought it up to me and never asked his boss if there was a way that he could have it free. When the schedule came, of course he works, and closes. I pushed him to ask around to switch which even that he was lax on and it really made me mad. It's like if I don't put a fire under his butt, he just will let everything fall by the wayside. My mom constantly tells me, that's just how men are and I should drop it. Whatever, if it's stupid little stuff, I get that but these moments are things I want my girls to have regardless if they fully remember it later. Now, my birthday is on the 30th and I asked him if he had requested it off and he said no. Said he would do it today, and then tells me yesterday was the last day to ask for days off for that week. I just don't understand, he requests off days when his football team are playing but can't remember to ask off my birthday? I just feel so sad...I just want him to realize how hurt I am. He only gets offended by me complaining. He is great and I love him but I am so frusterated 😢😢😢😢
