You make me want to smash my phone

Is it really possible to love someone so much, you'd do absolutely anything for them, but sometimes they just make you so angry?
This is just one thing of many..
BUT, I called them, and they didn't answer. Hey, maybe they're busy. So I send them a text, and no more than a minute later, I get a text message back. "Thank you for telling me". Well gee, thank you for answering your phone.
I'm only upset because it was about our son, and even after the text, there's nothing more. Wow, gee thanks. I see your concern.
This may seem petty, and really, it is. But there are a lot of things that add up to this frustration, and this just sort of put the icing on the cake.
So instead of taking my frustrations out on my poor defenseless phone, I am rerouting my frustration to a positive source. MyLot! Oh, how I love you..

I think we're always angrier at the people we love the most, luckycharm, because they have the power to bring out our strongest feelings. I hope by now you've managed to have a proper conversation with the person you tried to call - and things are sorted out.

No, nothing else was said. I've learned to bite my tounge, because in a situation like this, everything I posted, would have been said, and I hate saying things I regret, and then having to apologize for it.
I doubt any further conversation will be had, and I will just be left frustrated.
I guess that's better than him calling back and an arguement break out and it last for hours. I have too much homework to do for that.

I agree with you, guybrush. The ones we love most can bring out our strongest feelings - on both sides of the equilibrium.
The way you started it with "Is it really possible to love someone so much, you'd do absolutely anything for them, but sometimes they just make you so angry?" echoes how I'm feeling too these days. Guys can be frustrating sometimes.

I'm really trying to be understanding about it.. but at the moment I wrote this I was absoultely infuriated. I didn't want to push the subject with him though. Argueing is not something I like to do.

Hate to say it, but somebody is a JERK!
He cannot possibly be that busy that he doesn't have time to take out of his schedule to see what is going on, especially since it concerns your child. That is just way to rude and unforgivable

It is rude. But still, he MAY be busy. And even if it's a silly thing to be upset about, it still frustrates me to no end.
At least I'm ranting here on Mylot, and not him, or else the arguement would last for hours. And I just have to much to do for that to happen.
And yes, lucky for my phone. Though.. I do need a new one..
lol. I just don't have the money yet to replace it.

Sure! When you care for someone
then they are the ones who can
most easily push your buttons
and set you off edge!
I have posted many hubby rants
in my day. I don't do it anymore
since people started speculating
to my face and behind my back that
he was cheating.
Which is silly! Cause he's not.
But I guess my rants did hint that
things were not so good.
For now, I just keep the private stuff
to myself.
And rant about everyone else.

He's not something I normally rant about, and normally keep to myself about him. This really did just set me off the edge though, and I'm not trying to argue with him about his lack of engagement. Who knows.. maybe he is busy, and I'm just being upset for nothing. Either way, I don't care, it bothers me.
I guess more or less, it's nice to talk about it with people who will actually listen. lol.

good day.. relax and cheer up I can't know the feeling but i sure know where its going if not stopped... a broken phone. Maybe it's just one of those days for the person though it shouldn't be an excuse specially when it concern his child. I just hope that he'll come into his senses and realize his mistake, apologize and correct it. For you try to calm down and try to enjoy the day. Just accept that it's one of the pains you're gonna have raising your son but i assure it going to be worthwhile in the end. cheer up. I think by now you already are.

I have been in a relationship for 6 years with someone I loved very much he the same but in our 6th year we just starting having little insignificant fight but like you said, there was that ONE that just put the icing on the cake and we got to that point where we broke, up, got back together, broke up again then went to not knowing what we were. We tried so hard, fight and grasping to keep this relationship going but finally reaized that if we really loved eachother then we had to let eachother go. Maybe in the future we'll get back togeter, maybe not but I do know that it isn't healthy stayingin a relaionship where you can share a child together, but yet, not a phone conversation. He could have at least answered his phone, it was about your son, and even if it wasn't, he could tone down his sarcastic response, especially since by sending you a text right after, you know he had his phone near him and deliberatley didn't answer.

I guess the fact that he didn't call back, and texted me is what set me off. He DID have the phone right next to him apparently, so it shouldn't have been too hard to take a minute of his time.
I know it's petty, but it really frustrates me. But I'm know enough that I at least shouldn't press the issue with him.
I'm sorry to hear about your relationship. I can kind of relate, though I know it would take a lot of work on both parts for us to ever get back together. I'm willing to work and do what ever it takes for the great good so to speak, our son, and he's not even willing to take what I say to heart, and stop argueing about it. It seems as if the littlest thing I say turns into some sort of ridiculous arguement. But, I do love him, and realize he does need his space. Space is the only thing right now that I think could even repair a friendship between us.
So.. Thank God for Mylot. My rants and frustrations can be taken here, instead of ruining what we have left.

ohhh.. nice!
XD
I remembered my friend back then throwing his phone after discovering he's gf has been cheating on her. LOL
The interesting part was after throwing the phone, he tried fixing it feeling hopeless, and feeling guilty why he had done that.
CHEERS! to you my friend for successfully displaying "anger management".

I love Mylot too. I can come here with all of my frustrations also. Lord knows I have plenty of them. It is nice to hear that some other people here go through the same things as I do. I wish someone really understood me though. I would not know how to act.

I find it frustrating too when i don't get any reply to text messages I send, especially to those really close to me. A late reply is alright, but to be totally ignored really sucks! It isn't petty that we think that way, but these things really matter to us especially in those moments when we need to reach out and get connected to them..well, i feel good saying this here because I sort of feel the same way too today..thanks luckycharm!
