Am I being naggy? Was it my fault? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. ucancallmedissy (2486)   ranked 15 out of 19,435 in relationships7 months ago

I had a fight with my husband, it was two days ago and we hadn't talk a single word since.

So, he was out late, to work he says. And I keep calling him to his cell phone, asking him where he is, and who he's with and what he's doing. I didn't trust what he said to me when he said that he's going out to work. It was one of those days that I really couldn't trust my husband. So I called him again and again and again and insist that he's lying to me. I really don't know that I'm right or not. I just feel like not trusting him at the time.

So he got mad. He yelled at me over the phone, telling me that I embarrass him in front of his boss/friend by calling him over and over again and that I don't trust him every time and that he couldn't stand my nags. He said he had enough of me and he doesn't want to hear me calling him again. Then he turn off the phone.

I hate it when my husband telling me that he couldn't stand me anymore. I know I'm a little bit needy and naggy. But he could've tell me with nicer ways.

I didn't call him again that night, after a couple of attempt to call again but he already switch off the phone. We haven't speak a single word since that night.

I'm so tired of this. The thing is, I don't know whose fault this is. Is it me, being to naggy? Or is it him, being uncommunicative and rude and heartless?
What do you think?

Hmmm has he cheated on you before dissy? If he has then I would see why you wouldnt trust him, but if he hasnt then I dont see why you wouldnt trust him.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ucancallmedissy (2486)   ranked 15 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

I don't really know if he has ever cheated on me before. But he lied a couple of times, kinda often really. The lies are sometimes on small matters like he was going out with friends when he told me that he's gone to work. And I've been lied before by other people, I don't know if I'm being paranoid or being careful.

I have a friend who has absolutely the same issue as yours. I personally think that you should be able to trust your man enough. Nagging and being needy always comes with the package of a woman and it is normal. The not so normal thing is, applying it in a "not needed" situation. The feeling of you not rusting your man at the time is called "paranoia". I get that a lot too but i try to control it cause it never really does any good. The least you could do is apologize even if it is not your fault completely and let him know what you're feeling.

You don't want to push your man away now do you?(^^,)


myLot reputation of 97/100. ucancallmedissy (2486)   ranked 15 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

Do I really need to apologize? Didn't he has a fault of his own to at this matter? I hate to apologize and then realize that my suspicion was right. Am I being paranoid again now?


myLot reputation of 90/100. Kaeli72 (977)   ranked 1,723 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

Dissy: Who cares...when my children are fighting and one of them says, "But s/he started it!" My response to that is, "Then be adult enough to finish it!"

What I mean by that is you said something about apologizing. Even if you find out he was cheating on you, at least you were the adult to step forward and mention something.


myLot reputation of 95/100. vermillion (344)   ranked 406 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

I used to be like that, I can't bare to look at myself apologizing for a fault that wasn't even mine. But my man taught me that it is not about whoever fault it was, it was about the intention of wanting to get back together. What if your suspicion was right, and he was cheating...but what if it was wrong and he was really humiliated in front of his boss??? Either way, you have done your job, you apologized and then he admits to whatever he has to. You love him enough to do that right?(^^,)


myLot reputation of 98/100. patgalca (5510)   ranked 161 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

As Dr. Phil says... "Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?" It's your choice. I think a lot of us want to be right a lot of the time and don't think about the other option. What is more important? The happiness in your marriage or being right all the time?

If you apologize enough and you were right, you might make him feel guilty enough to admit that he was wrong. In the meantime, take the high road.

Good luck!


lovely_parrot (15)   ranked 14,226 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

why don't you and your husband take a seat and just talk about it frankly?
if your suspicious is right,deal with it seriously.but if your suspicious is just your paranoid,what the things you have done to him is really a hurt,so make yourself dispassionate and tell him what your feelings.forget who is falut first,just talk and rebuild the trust to each other. good luck to you and have a happness life!

lose the insecurity a marriage is based on trust and communications and when you give that feeling of I don't trust you a barrier is put up between you and sometimes it won't come down.

Your husband was being defensive, Sometimes oa couple of sweet words makes a great difference.

Remember what it took to get him.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ucancallmedissy (2486)   ranked 15 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

I could be very trusting sometimes. Sometimes I'm able to not call him when he goes out late because I have this trust. But other times, I get so nervous and I would call him almost every hour that he's out.

4. tschu8 (51)   ranked 5,053 out of 19,435 in relationships   7 months ago

Well, there are things to consider here. Does he normally work late or was this just out of the blue? Trust is a big thing in a relationship and no relationship can make it without trust. My husband would have turned his phone off too if I repeatedly called him nagging. And the other way around too. I would have shut mine off too. No one likes nagging. You should give your husband the benefit of the doubt and give him trust until he gives you actual reason not to. But you should never stay mad at eachother this long. Life is too short and I can not go to bed at night if I am upset with my husband or kids because I think......what if something was to happen to any of them? I would not want my last moments with them to be like this.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ucancallmedissy (2486)   ranked 15 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

You really scare me with those last line. I am as stubborn as my husband you know. We both find it hard to say sorry to each other, sometimes we just have a fight and then act like nothing is wrong the next day because we don't want to say sorry.
He is often go out late at nights, and often come home early in the morning too, so it was not out of the blue. But I just got these moments of no trust sometimes.


tschu8 (51)   ranked 5,053 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

I do understand what you are saying. And if it is hard to say the actual words that you are sorry then why not try an action. Just give him a hug. It says I am sorry and I love you all in one action. And the second that he puts his arms around you in return you will feel alot of the tension ease. Sometimes if I can feel any tension start to build between me and my husband I will just reach over and hold his hand. They say that holding hands with your spouse is one of the biggest stress reducers. If you are still not talking then be the bigger person and make the first move. One of you have to give in and do it. You will probobly feel better if you do.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ucancallmedissy (2486)   ranked 15 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

It would feel nice, I just wish my husband can do that first, since he was very mean the last time we were talking on the phone that night. I really hate to be the one to always do the initiative to make things work sometimes.


tschu8 (51)   ranked 5,053 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

I completely agree. Because he has to be willing to give as well. Relationships are work and both have to equally give. I really hope that you guys work things out soon. Good luck.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ucancallmedissy (2486)   ranked 15 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

Thanks tschu8! I really hope so too.

5. myLot reputation of 93/100. scorpiobabes (1298)   ranked 10 out of 19,435 in relationships   7 months ago

It could be a combination of both. May I ask why you didn't trust your husband that night? Perhaps if the two of you sat down and you explained why you feel needy, he could try to understand. I've been on the receiving end...my (now ex-)husband nearly got me fired when he kept repeatedly calling me at work one night on our department's emergency line. Perhaps if you explain to one another your true feelings, and let him know that he cannot cut himself off (especially with a little one involved), you can come to some sort of agreement. Good luck dissy! happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. ucancallmedissy (2486)   ranked 15 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

I just have one of those days when I have this feeling in my gut that something is wrong, that he's not where he told me he is. I don't know if that's woman's instinct or pure paranoia. I've tried to talk to him nicely before, about me being insecure and all, but he just take it as me not trusting him.
Thanks Scorpiobabes!


myLot reputation of 93/100. scorpiobabes (1298)   ranked 10 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

Oh dissy, you don't need to feel lacking at all! You're an intelligent woman and mother--he should appreciate you! But with that being said, it's definitely something that perhaps he doesn't understand. I didn't realize that was my ex's problem until much later...and he was worse than me!

Maybe the two of you should just sit down and discuss BOTH of your feelings...maybe even in a letter if he doesn't want to talk. Maybe having a journal to write down your feelings will help too, and perhaps seeing a counselor (at least for you) will help--you will grow as a woman and become all you can be.

Good luck and keep me updated! HUGS!


myLot reputation of 97/100. ucancallmedissy (2486)   ranked 15 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

Thanks scorpiobabes. I'm already at the office now. We still haven't talked at all. I really don't like this, but I'd hate to be the one to speak first. sad But maybe I have too..


myLot reputation of 93/100. scorpiobabes (1298)   ranked 10 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

Think of your daughter and be the MATURE one in this situation. I know it's hard, but it takes a big person to admit there's a problem. I know you can take the high road on this one. You do want to work this out too...it is very hard to live with someone and not speak. Good luck!

I have read some of the responses and I have seen where you said that he has lied to you. I have been through this and honestly he needs to prove to you and you can trust him, since he has been the one to lie he broke the trust. I wouldn't have kept calling him but he really isn't proving that you can trust him by shutting off the phone. My husband and I have a lot of problems due to his ex contacting him all the time. She just won't go away the last time she contacted him through email and left her number wanting to go out and yes she knows we are married. He finally told her that if she contacts him again that he will contact the police. He did tell me about this right away but still I was mad at him for dating such a weirdo and he has went out of his way to prove to me that I can trust him. He does get upset sometimes but mostly he is completely great about it. If I am having one of those untrusting days, he will come home early so I can talk or just feel better. Best of luck with this situation!


myLot reputation of 97/100. ucancallmedissy (2486)   ranked 15 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

Your husband sounds like a very nice guy! Mine is not the nurturing type I guess, he's a little childish and I sometimes has to remind him that he's married and already has a daughter. Though he is nice and responsible as the head of the family but when he's with his friends, he seems to forget his family.


myLot reputation of 77/100. ZephyrSun (2271)   ranked 2,852 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

Thanks he does try. I'm sorry that yours acts this way. Maybe he soon he will figure out the great things that he has at home. Good luck I hope all goes well!

7. myLot reputation of 93/100. dianagnes (877)   ranked 2,039 out of 19,435 in relationships   7 months ago

I think its your fault.You are overprotecting your husband that you don't trust him that days.You must'nt actually disturb him by calling a few times while he's at work.Maybe your husband are tired of your nagged that he himself could not able to stop it,so he shout out the words of could not stand you anymore.You must trust each other.You trust him then he will trust you too.

Its right for you to know what's your husband doing outside there but maybe your husband dislike you of not trusting him.So,this happened,start to be silence from each other.

To overcome this problem fast,i think you should make your first move to say something to him and start afresh.Good Luck!


myLot reputation of 25/100. nosferatu07 (138)   ranked 18,667 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

Some how i totally agree with this comment. I read all the other ones too but if i leave out all the information that you have provided answering the comments then im left with a feeling that you are paranoid.
I would kill my boyfriend for calling me like that to work no matter what time it was and i would never trust so insecure person back. I guess you and your husband have some major trust issues because neither one of you cant say you are sorry (for 2 days????)


myLot reputation of 85/100. proudmammabear (303)   ranked 3,384 out of 19,435 in relationships  7 months ago

Did you both forget to read that he has lied to her about having to work late before??????????????I don't think she's being paranoid, I think perhaps she is tryin maybr too hard to confirm what her gut already knows, and that is he is lying again....

Wow, it sounds like you have some real issues. if he cheats leave him, if his has never nor given you a reason to believe he has then it is your fault. Maybe it is your nagging that keeps him out? heck if my wife wants to go out I say have a good time and I enjoy the peace and alone time. Sometimes people need to get away from each other for awhile. The whole calling over and over thing sounds really petty though, something more than a little needy. And if you guys haven't talked in two days, you have a lot more serious issues than him working late and you worrying about who is at fault. If you are married and both want to make it work then you are both to blame.

This is just my opinion because I don't know the whole situation with your husband, and what your marriage is like.

I personally wouldn't have kept calling him up and insisting that he's lying to you. If it worried you that much, then maybe it would have been better to wait until he was home, and then discussed it with him.

With you constantly calling him, it's no wonder he got angry and upset at you. hence him yelling at you. You made him angry, so of course he's going to shout. When people are angry they don't think about how they word things either.

At the end of the day, an argument is an argument and both sides are usually to blame. I don't think this is any one person's fault. If you don't trust your husband, and you have no reason to not trust him, then you need to look at WHY you don't trust people and see if you can work on that.

Good luck.

I know sometimes I could be annoying to him. I just wish he could speak more nicely. I always try to trust him whenever he goes out late and working, but sometimes my insecurities get the best of me and I got this nervous feeling that I have to call him over and over again just to let him know that I'm worried.

Why do you not trust him? Has he given you reason not to? Are is it you being insecure? If it is your insecurities you need to lay off. It has hurt the man's ego! He will talk to you soon but you need to tell him why you keep calling over and over. do you know how annoying that is when you are trying to get some thing done?
