Am I wrong for being upset?
My husband and I have three kids. I’m a SAHM and he works. Due to this, I do everything in the house and for him and the kids. Laundry, meals, cleaning etc. This also includes Christmas shopping etc. My house is always immaculate, my kids are always well dressed and well fed and are well taken care of. My husband gets his lunch made for him everyday for work and has his laundry done by me as soon as he takes off his work clothes in the evening. One thing you should know about me is that I suffer from debilitating migraines. I’m on meds for it but it still means once every six months or so I’ll have a bad flare up and I just have to wait it out. When I have a migraine everything is excruciating for me. Of course I get one three days before Christmas. My husband of course can’t take off work when I have one and we moved across the country from our family six months ago for my husbands job so we have no one to help watch our kids should we need it.
Today was day number 3 with a horrible migraine. I have been sucking it up for two days and doing everything still. Cleaning, cooking, making his lunches for work and doing laundry. He got let off work early today for the holidays so he will be home the next two weeks. When he got home he saw I was struggling with pain but showed absolutely no care. He came home, said hi to me and the kids them told me to get him a blanket because he was going to nap on the couch. I was kind of annoyed because I needed help with the kids due to how much pain I’m in but I figured I would let him sleep for a couple of hours since he got up at 5am for work.
He didn’t wake up for six hours. Six hours. I made the kids an easy lunch and dinner, I did their night routine with bath, bed and book. All while he was sleeping.
When he got up after six fucking hours the first thing he said was “what are you fixing me for dinner?”. I never yell at my husband and but I’ve been in so much pain so I yelled and told him to make something for himself. I told him he clearly saw me struggling in pain but instead of helping he chose to sleep the whole day. It’s not like this man never sleeps either, he sleeps in until noon every weekend and I NEVER get a break. When I yelled at him he looked at me and said ok and went back in our room. I felt bad about 20 minutes after and went to apologize. He was back asleep so I woke him and I apologized. He said it was fine but he was going to bed for the night. When I asked if he could help me build some of the kids bug presents for Christmas like we had previously planned to do tonight ( a Barbie dream house, superultimate hot wheels track and a wooden play kitchen) he told me I’m on my own with that and he won’t be helping me. I asked him if this is how Christmas is going to be and he said yes. So now I’m sitting on my living room floor prepared to stay awake all night and build my kids toys alone with an awful migraine because my husband wants to be an asshole. Am I over reacting here? What I was wrong? I feel so alone and could use some opinions.
