Why did I get married??

This morning did not go too well. I haven't talked to Jake in two days. At this point I am not even sure why I got married in the first place. If things haven't gotten that much esier and, as far as I am concerned, have changed for the worst, then what is the point. Here's the story, Jake, or "Princess" as I like to call him sometimes, car broke down a few weeks ago. With gas prices as high as they are right now I can't seem to figure out why he can't catch the bus home from work. Here is a typical day for me, him and our son...

Wake up
Get Ready
Wife takes Princess to train station (10 min. drive)
Wife takes son to camp (10 min drive)
Wife drives to subway station (25 min. drive)
Wife and Princess are at work
Wife takes subway to car
Wife picks up son from camp (25 min drive)
Wife goes home (15 min. drive)
Wife starts dinner
Wife picks Princess up from train (10 min drive)
Wife drives home (10 min drive)
Princess plays on internet
Wife finishes dinner (times vary)
Family eats
Princess plays on internet
Wife cleans up
Wife gets son ready for camp next day which may include but is not limited to washing clothes, ironing, helping with shower, prayers etc.
Wife takes shower
Wife watches a little TV
Wife goes to bed
Princess plays on internet and watches sports
Princess takes shower and irons his clothes
Princess goes to bed

Sometimes Princess cooks steak-ums or burgers but wife still cleans it all up.

I know you may be thinking it can't be this structured and boring but it is. Oh and no we do not have conversation unless it is for him to ask me how to do something on the internet or what bills are in line to be paid (which by the way, wife pays bills online at work)

I am so tired of the regiment. I talked to mom and she says "Set boundaries". The problem is that I get very frustrated when trying to communicate with Princess and I often start screaming which isn't good for the boy so lately I have decided to just be frustrated and go to bed early. I know this approach is not going to work for much longer.

But this morning was the icing on the cake. Yesterday the boy had football practice, which I take him to, and Princess decided that since he got off early and did not want to wait for a ride, he would catch the bus home. He gets home at 8pm and calls me to ask if I had plans for dinner. How would I have plans if I was at Football practice. Did he thing he was going to come how to a meal? I came home a little early to show my brother my new house and got started making a bread I have been wanting to make. If you walked in the kitchen and saw a bunch of flour and sugar would you think it was dinner or dessert? I mean give me a break. He then asked if he should heat up leftovers or do something else. DUH!!!

I get home to leftovers heating and fishsticks not made for the boy. I help the little one with his things because he is tired from Football practice and when the food is finished Princess says he is too tired to even make a plate for himself so he gets on the internet. TIRED FROM WHAT!!!! Being on the bus and heating up food? Anyway, he finally made a plate, ate it on his lap and played on the cp for the rest of the night. I am not sure what time he got finished because I went to bed. Oh I washed clothes and did a few other things like vacuum the upstairs and clean the bathroom because Princess must play with his pubic hairs and get them all over the floor and God forbid he lift the seat up and see if he left any gifts so I clean the bathroom everyday so I am not throwing up when it is time for me to use it.

What puts the icing on the cake is that I usually clean the kitchen after I cook but since I did not cook and was already pissed that Princess was on the cp forever I went to bed. When I went down this morning to the kitchen my rice cooker was still on and very hot, the food was still on the stove and the stove was a mess and the counters were trashed. I could have kicked Princess in the balls.

I didn't say anything because I knew I would start off yelling but I am going to definately talk to him about it later. I mean how selfish and retarted can you be?

Why did I get married????? (I wish he would walk a mile in my shoes)

I wish I could've told you from the get-go that this might happen, although I was hoping that your Princess was nothing like my Brat. If it makes you feel any better, my Brat is far more worse than your Princess.

Communicate, communicate, communicate. I know that right now you can't see that everything will be ok. I was like that at one point or another. My mother was like that she and my dad have been married for over 30 years. So my point is talk to him and let him know. If you have to yell at some point so be it but just tell him and I pray that he will get the point. I know that marriage is hard but stick it out. It is all worth it and you will look back and think of the first couple of years as a growing process.

Rememer what counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.
