husband? really?

do you ever just not want to be with this person? like, not even in the same room? i go to the couch. sometimes i just don't even want to sleep in the same bed. and we have $200 couches from ikea. i love ikea, but i am making a sacrifice.

i am making a sacrifice just typing about it b/c i took ap courses in high school when i should have taken typing and some vo-tech. go figure. so now i am a (smart) teacher - which takes almost no schooling (even though they require it... no child left behind). and i can't type. but my husband can b/c he went to a school with no advanced courses and graduated in the 80s. but i am off topic.

i want to be in my nice comfy bed. i sleep poorly at all times, but worst of all in the summer. so a bed is a boon. but how can I? i try to let him know what i am upset about. he doesn't empathize, so he ignores. umm, can't sleep with that and risk waking up to an undeserving morning service (while i am still groggy and unaware). can't even risk a midnight snuggle lest the conflict is suddenly resolved without a deeper exploration of my feelings. so, to the ikea couch i must go.

truth be told, with a couple of glasses of wine, it's not that bad. but shouldn't he be the one on the couch and not the one slumbering away while i am ruminating on his transgressions???
