The doorknob incident that wasn't

Yeah, slang for shiner.

My husband has been stressed out lately and just kind of off. He started going off about the kids being too stressful because they all give us trouble getting them to go to bed, stay in bed, and the baby is up four to six times a night usually. Even though we put the baby in his own room next to us and I never wake my husband to deal with him (I breastfeed), he still interrupts hubby's sleep.

My husband has also been stressed about an injury he got at work and will need surgery for. He loves his job and he's sidelined right now stuck in an office pushing papers until he's all fixed. Just pent up energy he can't really find a valve for. His workouts are not challenging him bc of the injury... All of this..

So he has been losing his temper and complaining about stuff and I'm full to the brim of hearing about it. I fed th baby and put him back to bed and just laid there in bed seething with all the things I wanted to tell him about acting like a (scuse me) little whiny bitch.

OMG literally nothing would have come of that. The man is stressed to the hilt with everything important to him and I'm literally the only thing that he gives a crap about that isn't seriously pissing him off. If I'd started nagging him about stuff that's already nagging him, what kind of a harpy does that?

Sure I like when he's all macho and unshakable. We are young parents, he's going to college and working his butt off watching all his buddies get to do awesome stuff at work, his kids are all obnoxious right now, he hates where his work has us located right now.... Then me. If I had opened my mouth that night, he'd have seriously checked out. I really think that one mistake would have canceled out all that I've ever done right and he'd have just walked out either literally, or he'd pick up a plate. Idk. So glad I kept my mouth closed. I feel ashamed even thinking about bitching at him.
