My husband sees "I'm sorry" as calling himself bad so he can't seem to do it. Last night we got home late and our dog had had an accident on our nice rug. I was worried and wanted him to go borrow carpet foam from our good friends down the street. I was on the floor with a hot towel trying to keep the spot wet until he got back with the foam. 10 min or so go by and he isn't back....I emailed his iphone telling him to hurry. He didn't call or show up so then I call him....he answers the phone and says he is still there having a beer on the back porch and that our friends didn't have any carpet cleaner. I found it stunning that he didn't have the consideration to CALL me and tell me that. As I was still on the floor waiting for him to return with the carpet cleaner. I told him to please get some carpet cleaner and come home. He did not. I called again as 2 am is approaching on our "date night" and he lets our friend answer the phone and tell me MY OWN HUSBAND is not available. I was amazed at how inconsiderate my husband could be to me. I locked our bedroom door because I knew how mad I was and I didn't want a huge late night fight. Again, he comes home at 2:30 and does not go to the guest room. He unscrews the door handle and breaks in so of course we get in a huge fight because he WILL NOT admit how rude he was or how inconsiderate he was to not call me. In fact, he not only won't say he is sorry he calls me psycho, crazy, and much more. He said something so horrible I tried to slap him and he blocked me and fought back. He then grabbed me by the arms and threw me out of my own bedroom. He rather do this and have a horrible fight rather than just come home and say....."I am sorry I left you hanging and didn't call to update you". And it begs the question....why was he so rude to keep me hanging and not call. Little things have been building up for the last two weeks. He comes home from work and stays on his iphone all evening or watches tv. I never have a chance to talk with him. He ignores me completely when I talk to him. He gets plenty of time to go play poker or hit balls at the driving range but gives nothing as a husband to me. I mean love, attention, things women need. I need a little romance, a little affection now and then, and at least some respect and consideration. Last night was the last straw. I was so annoyed with how inconsiderate he has been lately. Even while we were socializing with our friends that night he was on his iphone most of the time. I just don't know who he is anymore. He got up this morning and left the house. Didn't speak to me...did not say he was sorry. He grew up with a mom that would never tell her kids they did anything wrong. She is one of those my kids do no wrong moms. I am wondering if this is going to ruin our marriage. We went to therapy and he never applied anything he learned. He just seems to care less and less about this marriage and I am wondering if it is going to get worse and I am going to have to leave. I have been so alone these last few weeks. I have no partner, no one to talk to, no best friend, no protector, nothing he promised he would be as a husband. Did I marry the wrong man? And he won't go back to a councilor with me...he thinks it is stupid. I don't know what to do anymore. The Original Question and RomanceClass Answer
