While she played dolls with her child on the floor, her mind was anywhere but with her child. Her mind, like David’s was going 100 miles an hour. She started to become enraged preemptively, as she thought about how furious she was going to be when her husband walked through the door.
She had turned into a shrew, a nagging wife without realizing it all because she felt she wasn’t getting the attention she needed. She would literally be seething with all the things that she would accuse him of when he tiredly walked through the door later on.
She added, “I’m putting him in a lose-lose situation. He literally can’t win. If he doesn’t work late, we won’t get the new furniture set that I have to have. If he does work later, he comes home to a nagging wife who is desperate for his attention.” She continued, “I am so selfish in our marriage and I know that. But, every once in a while, I’ll have my little ‘A-ha’ moment that gives me a sense of understanding.”
Jonna's blog posts are so real, so relatable. She tells it like it is and hearing that sort of honesty is very admirable.
On a particular Wednesday evening, Jonna was on the floor with Delanie playing with dolls when David once again wasn't coming home, although it was already very late. She kept his dinner in the fridge for him to eat when he eventually came home.
“I don’t recall the Prince missing dinners because he was working overtime or going to bed shortly after he came home to his Palace because he was so exhausted. I don’t remember any of that,” she wrote.
Jonna was still waiting for David to come home when she heard the clothes dryer finish its cycle. While she would normally turn the laundry back on in order to avoid folding it, she made a responsible decision. She would fold the warm clothes in order to calm herself down and take her mind off of her husband.
Despite the attempts she made, her mind was still on David as she removed the clothing from the dryer.
She explained to her readers in her blog post that she began to think, “Why does he not want to spend time with me? We’re newlyweds, aren’t we supposed to be in the honeymoon stage?” This is a thought that anybody could relate to.
Your spouse isn't coming home until late and you start to wonder whether you are doing something wrong. The feeling of the lack of security in your relationship can drive you crazy.
