put me in my place

Since I have decided to share more of my personal stories, why not share this one.  My mother bought a cherry pie from the ladies at the church.  She gave it my husband and I. I in turn gave half of it to a friend of mine because the last thing either of us need is a cherry pie laying around.  Well, last night after dinner he asked me to get our half of the pie out.  To me that means we get to enjoy some of it.  I only wanted a few bites.  So while he was sitting on the couch. I got a fork out and had 4 to 5 bites.  He got off the couch ran over and started spazzing out that I was hogging up the whole thing.  I was humiliated and defeated.  This all coming from the guy who would eat a half gallon of ice cream in one sitting.  I really don't think he meant to hurt my feelings or make me feel like dirt.  I just think he was "protecting his territory". So in the mean time, I had enough and I went to bed.  It was 8:30, honestly I had nothing nice to say and didn't want to say anything that I would regret! This morning I wake up at 5 am to take the pups to the park and go for our 3 mile walk.  What I realized was that I wasn't as upset about what he said, that is his issue. I was upset that I let him make me feel that way.  So lesson learned, don't ever let anyone make you feel like less of the awesome person you truly are.  OH and also, he ate the rest of the pie, hope he can live with that.
