Why Must I Be So Hurtful?

I said something tonight to Dave that I shouldn't have.  At least not in the tone or words I used.  I can tell he is hurt and I feel awful.

We were somewhat arguing about the clean clothes that we hang over the banister when we are folding clothes.  Sometimes they sit there for a couple of days.  I pointed to the ones that are currently there and said, "Now how long have those been there?  These clothes shouldn't be sitting around.  You don't have a job, there is no reason our house shouldn't be clean everyday.  If I was a stay at home mom I assume it would be expected of me to keep a clean house."  OUCH.

It's not his choice he doesn't have a job.  Well he probably could go work somewhere but it wouldn't be as an electrician and it would be for far less pay and even less then what he receives on unemployment.  He would love to be working.

I feel terrible and I am trying to work up the courage to apologize.  Why must I be so hurtful?

    I know they say money is the root of all evil, but sometimes I think that should be tied with our tongues! How harsh we are with those we love most! I sometimes can't believe how Ryan stands to be with me, but it doesn't stop me from apologizing and vowing (yet again) to be a better wife :)
