haircut

So 3 weeks ago, my wife promised to cut my hair... did not happen.

So 1 week ago, my wife promised to cut my hair... did not happen.
I did not ask 2 weeks ago. We cut my son's.

This past weekend, she promised to do it Saturday, then pushed it off until Sunday after lunch then pushed it off again for during dinner...

and then I started to get pissed off. When I asked her to at least trim my neck hair 2 weeks ago, she did not... I did it with a hope and a prayer... I trimmed around my ears and made the best of it.

So, I was mad. I had been pushed off the docket yet again, and she could feel my irritation. She asked me last night. What are you mad that I did not cut your hair?

Yes, actually, I feel like I was not a priority at all. That you kept pushing it off, and then when I could not find the stuff to actually cut my hair, you did not help. You sat and went through all the newspaper inserts looking for coupons.

Her- I did look and I could not find them either. You are the one who put them away last time. (not true, but anyway).

Her- If it is so important, then go get your hair cut and we will be here when you get back. -this is at 7:45 on a Sunday night.

Anyway... I am still shaggy headed and frankly, don't want her to cut my hair anymore. I am an inconvenience and even though we have saved hundreds of dollars over the years by my getting an at home haircut, I think the time has ended.

I have not apologized for getting mad. She did apologize that my hair was not cut, not that she pushed it off.

She was pissed. Seriously pissed, and still is.

I don't get it. Why... why would she be so damn hard headed!

Why can't she just look me in the eye and say, ya know, I am sorry your haricut was not possible today, I really thought that I would be able to do it. I think maybe we could do it on x day. Does that sound ok?

Instead, she is never wrong, she is infallable, she is all perfect... and she was very loud and self serving in her diminishing me and my needs.

I get that a fucking haircut is not all that important. It is that she has promised me over and over and even though I tried to set up for the haircut 3x she NEVER tried to get ready. She NEVER tried to act like that promise to me was in the realm of importance.
