She Accidentally Slept In And Missed The Breakfast Her Husband Had Planned After Caring For Their Sick Child All Night, And Now He’s Giving Her The Silent Treatment
A few days ago, this woman’s husband told her that he wanted the two of them to go to breakfast together, and he asked that she make sure to be ready to go at 9 a.m.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t thrilled about how early he planned for them to go out.
Since her husband works full-time and she’s a stay-at-home mother, her early mornings are busy because she has to drop their children off at daycare and school.
Because of this, she was hoping to have a relaxed morning, so she suggested the idea of going to brunch instead of a super early breakfast.
“He refused, saying he wanted it out of the way early so he could relax the rest of the day on his day off. I got where he was coming from, so I agreed,” she said.
The night before their planned breakfast, their daughter was very ill, sad, and crabby all night long.
Their daughter was sobbing and didn’t want to sleep in her own bed.
“She wanted to lie down downstairs, so I decided to do what she felt most comfortable with. I also thought it was best so that my son and husband could get some uninterrupted sleep,” she explained.
After getting her daughter set up downstairs, she stayed with her.

While her daughter did sometimes almost drift off to sleep, she’d wake up again because she had a stuffed-up nose. She did everything she could for her daughter’s cold symptoms, but her daughter struggled to sleep through the night.
Her husband slept soundly, but she was awake the entire night taking care of their daughter.
Finally, her daughter fell asleep at about 7 a.m., and she took the opportunity to sneak back upstairs so that she could snuggle up with her husband before they got up to go to breakfast.
Instead of just lying in bed together, her husband wanted to be intimate.
She was so tired and nearly falling asleep, but she still hooked up with her husband.
Not long afterward, she fell fast asleep.
A bit later, her husband and son had gotten up and walked downstairs, but because she was in such a deep sleep, she never heard them.
She hasn’t slept in quite a while because she always has to wake up to take care of their children.
“It must have all caught up with me. We were supposed to leave at 9 a.m. I woke up at 11 a.m. Apparently, he tried to wake me up twice, and I wouldn’t wake up. I felt bad because I knew he really wanted to go, and so did I. I had already picked out my outfit,” she shared.
Once she woke up, she told her husband that they could go to the same restaurant for either brunch or dinner.
He was furious and told her that he’d only wanted to go to this particular restaurant for breakfast.
Even though she tried to rationalize with her husband and come up with another option, he started ignoring her, rejecting the idea of going out altogether.
Her husband’s behavior felt like a form of punishment in her view.
Now, she’s unsure if there was any way this argument could have been avoided.
Once her husband stopped talking to her, she did the same thing, and she didn’t know what to do to resolve the situation.
What advice would you give her?
