Today is not much of a fun day. It’s Tuesday and since Sunday DH and I have not been talking to each other. We usually do this sort of thing, once every two months (you know - not talk to each other) and now we both don’t find the silence so horrific anymore. Yet, for two people in a relationship this can be slightly irritating.
On Sunday I was cleaning up my room and kitchen and got totally engrossed in this. DH on the other hand was upstairs in one of his rooms studying and making notes. At about three in the after DH came downstairs and asked me whether he should buy some grocery. For a couple of months now I have been doing the cooking and the question is reasonable ‘cause it’s his job to get the provisions. But I was upset that he was asking me the question so late in the day. Had I know that DH wanted me to cook I would have stopped cleaning earlier in the day and started on with cooking. This way I would have finished all housework before late evening. Now his question meant that I had to do the cooking as well. It was as if my time had no value and he had taken it for granted that I would spend the whole day working. Then DH got upset with me for being upset with him. And just like that without uttering a word to each other, we declared non-cooperation.
Now there is no food at home, not even snacks. I managed to finish even the horrible rye bread which I had confirmed would go down the bin. When you are hungry, I tell you taste really doesn’t matter.
I am not really sure how this will pan out. Usually after a few days, in bed, in deep sleep one of us will hug the other. The next day it would be like we never had a problem at all, till the cycle repeats itself. The longest we have been at it is twenty two days – that’s right twenty two days in the same house and I never once saw DH’s face.
Hopefully this won’t be as bad as that. It’s just two days and I don’t think I can take another day without his warmth (and food).
Wish me luck; I need to hug my husband in bed tonight, unawares.
