I read his message early this morning and I felt guilty

I arrived home late yesterday and I observed my husband, being silent. I noticed this when we ate our dinner, it seems he got mad. I think he was just tired of attending our store. When I wake up early and before going to my daily routine, I open my cellphone and read a message and it was from my husband, he said, I love you and miss you. So, I remember the comment of @LadyDuck yesterday saying that if my husband not upset in going to my parents house daily and this reminds me, maybe his upset. I felt guilty in abandoning my duties as a wife and responsibilities as a mother but I told him, it's my parents asking my help. I went outside our room, looking for him and he's in our porch drinking brewed coffee. I greeted him and kiss his cheeks and said, sorry for my shortcomings. He smiled and said, it's alright, I understand your situation. Thanks God, he understands me.

When you are married Reine, you know your shortcomings when your partner reacted a different way and unfamiliar to his ways so its up to you to know the cause.

It is a bit of a difficult situation at the moment for you. You must feel torn in several directions.

Sometimes , we tend to neglect our better halves because of our own busyness . But just one hug and kiss and acknowledgement of our mistake takes the hurt at an instant .

@ida123 I know that no matter how I would explain to my husband he would always be a bit jealous and upset to see me outside many times.
