    I Married an EEjit. Angry, Mad, Vent

    A lady (+95) close to the OH died and the funeral is on Tuesday morning. The Viewing is on Monday, mid-day. And it's not close geographically, it's a three hour drive one way. I say to him, "We should go on the Monday." No, he wants to go to the funeral. "Well what are we going to do about Oban?" OH says, "He can stay in the car for one hour."

    In the heat? In summer? NO! Oban can't stay in the car for five minutes. In winter, yes. Summer, no. What the heck is OH thinking? Is he thinking? Grrrrrrrrr.

    What? Noooo....

    My DH used to argue for us to bring Kimber along on trips "and she can stay in the car". Ha! of course, we get there and it's hot/crowded/no easy parking and by gum, we have to take her out of the car, severely restricting what we can do at the destination.

    In order to avoid too much man bashing (by myself), all I'm saying is, "Don't get me started."

    WE have reached a compromise. We will both go on Tuesday and take Oban. It's a long day to leave him home with neighbours dropping in to feed him and let him out to pee. I will not go in to the funeral. I know and like the lady and her family, maybe I can drop in to speak to them briefly while OH stays out. But he has known her all his life. This way we get to enjoy the beautiful drive together and visit a few other people too. Though Clinton is a small town and probably everyone OH knows also knows this lady.

    I've had mine casually mention such a thing when he wanted to go to the grocery. I reacted, well, strongly and he never made that mistake again. In his case, he was thinking that he wanted Fran's company. The thought process pretty much ended there.

    It sounds like you have reached an acceptable compromise. It seems like the weather will be OK, not too hot.

    Wishing you a safe trip.

    Sounds like a win-win-win for Oban, you and your OH.

    Oh, Jeff....

    My "don't get me started" wasn't limited to stuff involving dogs....and basically referred to my husband. (He's got issues.)

    The guys on the board are great....that's why I didn't want to go any further.
