Let's Talk Husbands/Significant Others

Picture this: It's my 5th day at work (school) and I come home around 7:30 P.M after having a virtual Open House with my students' families. I take a deep breath and ask my husband a daring question, "Can we watch some TV so that I can rest and we can spend some time together?" Before I continue, let me give you some history: It's been a long and challenging dual between me and my husband's Xbox. Y'all know what I'm talking about. (The closest image I could find resembling me and wanting to destroy the ever so loved by husband - the Xbox)

Long story short, after we finally agreed that him yelling and defending his "hobby" for gaming and me getting all teary eyed and jealous (yes, it's possible to be jealous of a machine) wasn't getting us anywhere closer to a solution, we came to a settling and mature compromise. I would let him play video games on Monday - Thursday nights and he would watch TV or a movie with me Friday - Sunday. This works out fine for us because let's face it, I have homework to do since I'm trying to complete my Masters by next Fall. However, last night I decided to be brave and ask him in hopes that he'd have pity on me since the last few days have been very rough and exhausting. But nope. I was told no five times. That's right - he kept saying no, even after I said please, made sure that he wasn't joking, etc. He kept his answer to a firm no and said that it was his night per agreement. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I was livid! I took a shower and just ended up crying because I honestly didn't think I was asking too much. It's not like I was asking for a TV binge, I just wanted to watch an episode or two of Big Bang with a glass of wine and my husband by my side, but apparently to him I was asking him to sever his arm off. Here's the best part, I get out of the shower and he comes into the room and he changes his mind and says, "that we can watch TV." That made me more ANGRY! What is it with men?? I know it's not all men, but I do so much for him and not to play the sexist card but I am the main care giver for our daughter, I work FT, I cook, clean and I even decorated our home for Fall!! Why in the heck didn't he just say yes in the first place?? I do things for him that I don't want to do. We all do things for others that we love whether we like it 100% or not. Long story short, we got into an argument and I ended up just going to bed with a headache. Don't get me wrong, I love my husband and we've been through some storms but I just don't get it! Was I really asking for too much? Did I cross the line for wanting to "break our agreement" even if it was just for one night? What do y'all think? When does your significant other drive you nuts?
