That'll Be Fine

Really?  Did this just happen?  I am lying down.  Watching a little netflix.  Getting ready to go to sleep.  Husband walks up.  Asks if I have a job tomorrow.  I reply yes.  He says, "that'll be fine."  Like, do I need permission to work?  Or what could it possibly mean?  Irritating.  To say the least.
I am much wiser than I used to be.  I don't take it to heart.  But, it does give me a reality check.  A moment to stop and thin, "how was I that blind?"  How did I possibly think that was ok?  Seriously????  No way is it ok.  Healthy relationships are much more equitable.  It's not doing me a favor if he does something around the house or does something with the kids.  And, it's not up to him to approve or disapprove my actions or whether I work.
That'll be fine.  Sure.  Whatever.
Actually...it will be.  Because I decided to do it.  Because I want to do it.  Because it's somewhere that is a good place to be.  And.....for pete's sake...doesn't he get that it doesn't have anything to do with him?
Everything revolves around him in his vision.  It's too bad.  How lonley a life it must be.
grace to you.
