writes:Hi. I accidentally sent a text message to my husband that was intended for my mom. His parents had asked him to do something that I felt was unfair and at a bad time. I am a stay at home mom of his three children. His mom, dad, sister and her live in, and deadbeat 20 year old son, all do not work and live off of welfare and the government. They recently lost power and ask my husband to drive 3 hours to deliver OUR generator for them. A generator we saved and saved to buy in case our power ever went off due to tornado or ice storm and we have 3 kids to take care of. My husband would not get home until almost midnight and then has to be back at his work (which is an hour drive from home itself) at 7:00 tomorrow morning. I don't want him doing it. And I state that to my mom, but accidentaly sent the message to him. I am sorry for what I said and the way I handled it. I want him to understand I am sorry that I might have hurt his feelilngs and not just that I got caught. He has some issues with his family himself and he probably wasn't 100% on the whole idea, but I kind of really through a monkey wrench in it.

 HAHAHAHHAHA, EmilyAnswers, you kill me.
Well, everyone has slipped up and mis-sent a text. You get red in the face, you apologize, give him a bonus "I'm sorry" massage, it's over.
I think your husband will ultimately understand. You really had him in mind and at heart anyway, you were just pissed off at his family (and I'll bet he was grumbling about them on his long drive too).
It'll blow over soon enough.
Good luck!

He knew your feelings so if he got that confirmed in a text then I really don't think it's going to be as much of a drama as you think.
As long as you didn't say "his slut of a mother has stolen my generator. He's weak like his useless fat father!"
Talk to him when he gets back. Talk it out calmly and you'll probably both laugh about this in a couple of weeks.
Good Luck!! xx
