Yes dear...........

One of Mr H's less endearing qualities is his negativity, he doesn't have a good word to say about anyone or anything, and it's very wearing. Most of the time I try not to rise to the bait. This evening though, we ended up arguing.
All day he has been negative.......
1.His friend (his only friend) is coming to stay next weekend,  Mr H is fussing about as if it were a first date! Fussing about food, about where we should take said friend, for heavens sake this is a 57 year old man, he's visited us before several times, and Mr H stays with him at least 6 nights a month when he's working away. The friend is vegetarian, I looked through some cook books and made some food suggestions to Mr H. He decided to email friend to ask what he would like to eat from a list of suggestions. We don't do this for  any other guests, but when I pointed this out I was accused of "being difficult!"
2. While he chatted to his sister and then his daughter on the phone for 10 minutes this morning, I cut back lots of stuff in the garden, and dug up some plants that we want to get rid of. " well I hope you dug up all the roots " he said. Thanks for that, such a helpful comment.
3. This evening we had a conversation that I can barely remember, so memorable was it! We have been looking for someone to deep clean our oven, where we lived previously there was a local franchise that we used, since we moved here I haven't been able to find anyone. This evening I saw something about oven cleaning on Facebook and started investigating. I messaged the company and asked for a quote. I said to Mr H that I had a quote but would check out the company first.
"I think you need to check them out first" he said
"That's what I've just said to you " I said" I'm not going to get someone off Facebook without checking them out"
 "You are so negative, you shoot me down in flames all the time" he said to me!
"WHAT? Me Negative ? Let's turn this round and look at your  negative comments all day" I said
"I'm not turning anything round" he said, "it's you"
"Yes dear" I said "I'm sure it is"
and he sulked in silence for an hour before marching off to bed.

 I am enjoying the silence with the dogs downstairs. I know he won't have taken a glass of water up for me, because that's part of the sulk, and my punishment. Pathetic man.
At the moment I hate him. And I will sleep in the spare room. And I am bloody glad that he is working away for the next three nights!
