DH called me selfish tonight and wanted to get into an argument with me because I was watching Lost on television instead of studying. He had bathed the boys and put them to bed, apparently he thought he was doing this so that I could have time to work on my Geology homework, even though my understanding is that putting the boys down is the best way for him to get some quality time with them, as he works from 6:30 AM until 6 PM most days. I told DH that Lost is the only show I make time for on television and that I would be watching it every week until the season was over. That's where he called me selfish. For wanting to watch one show a week.


Lecturing me in a hateful way about my study habits is very common. I make no secret of the fact that I am a bit of a procrastinator, but it's none of his business. What am I, his child? I am adult. If I choose to do my homework late, that's my decision to make. I said all of this, and he essentially called me arrogant and indicated that he simply cannot stand me.
