Stung Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Quick tip: if Cat/Hat's bf feels overworked and stressed right now and that her requests for his personal time are unreasonable, he is certainly entitled to tell her so, in a reasonable adult way. If he has an issue with the way their finances are handled as a couple who live together, he is very much entitled to and should speak to her about it and draw up a plan for how to remedy the situation. He is, however, NOT entitled to snap meanly at her in phrasing pretty much guaranteed to make her feel like dirt, or take out his working frustrations on her. And BOTH partners in a healthy relationship absolutely are entitled to want/expect that their partner should take their emotions and experiences into consideration, when negotiating the very common minefields of separate trips, long work hours, and couples quality time. See how that works both ways, my dulcet little crabapples?
