I was very upset this morning when my spouse accidentally burnt his shirt over the iron. More worst, he blaming me that the iron became very hot due to me, because I have used the iron before and did not turn the controller back to 0 before switching it off. When he switch on the iron and suddenly I heard his voice sound like a small scream. He told me that the shirt has burnt off on the chest area due to the over heat of the iron and start saying that I should have to turn it to zero whenever I finished ironing. I find that it is truly not a strong fact to blame me. I my self always check the controller before putting the iron on the shirt I am ironing and all my family did the same thing as I do. I was angry to him because I bought the cloth for him and he really look nice in that cloth (Malay traditional cloth). Last night I wash it for him because I want him to wear it today as today is Friday and he will look nice wearing it as most of the guys here do wear such cloth on Friday. My anger even worst when he don't want to admit that he was wrong in this matter and start saying "How can the iron be to hot?" I understand that he came from a family which is not like my family. His mother do everything for him until he came to my country for studying. Since I met him the first day, I have noticed that he is not like most of the guys which I know here but I put that matter aside and thinking that I can change him. Since that, I keep teaching him on what he should do when he face different kind of situation, gives him some routine works so that he know how to do home works. I cook for him, do his laundry, tell prepare his cloths to wear or at least tell him what shirt he should wear. But at the end of the day I find that he feels that he don't have to think much about all these things. He is very intelligent, he has done his degree in Chemistry and now he is pursuing his Master in Food Chemistry. Next year both of us will start our Phd research. He is doing part time teaching in his school without applying the job. The school have asked him to teach the student because he is good in doing the practical for his lab work. He is not matured in thinking other than his field and job or at least smart in thinking if he is not matured. It's really makes me angry with my self sometimes that I am failed to change him and always hurt my self with the words I thrown on him. I always regret and said ' I should have to do that for him so this thing wouldn't be happened like this' But he don't think the way I am thinking, he always say that I am hurting him by my words. I thought that he could take some time to ponder what actually I meant with all my spicy words to him. Hmmm....I just don't know when he will grown up,..I mean start thinking like other adult men. Ever face the same problem like me? Tell me how you guys solved the problem. Thanks in advance.....
