No Apologies for How I Chose To Repair What You Broke

Jul 13, 2010

Those who know me, know that one of my biggest pet peeves is having someone not listen when I ask them to do something or just decide that whatever they’re doing is much more important than my request. If you’re trying to get my blood boiling, that’s probably the best way to go about it because not only do I feel disrespected but I also feel very devalued.

A great example of this is when I was younger and I asked one of my sisters to get me one of the hand dryers. It wasn’t of great importance but for them to acknowledge my request and then wait about 45 minutes before fulfilling it really frustrates me. It’s true that I could just get it on my own and alleviate the middle man, but usually if I make a request for someone to do something for me it’s because I’m currently pre-occupied with something much more important and can’t go about doing it myself or I am physically or mentally unable to do it.

If I had to pick one of the biggest annoyances when it comes to Robby and our marriage, I would definitely have to say it’s that. It’s frustrating and half the time I end up just doing it myself and turn around to find him all sad and pouty because he choose to wait before doing what I asked. As much as I see how upset he is about the situation, given that it has happened on numerous occasions and continues to happen, I refuse to apologize for it nor do I think I should.

It’s not my fault he can’t do what’s asked of him to begin with and that ultimately when it boils down to it, I’m better off doing it myself then relying on him.
