My washing machine has fucked up. It's ancient so no point in getting it fixed so I've ordered a new one. However it's not going to be delivered until next thursday - I had a pile of washing in the machine when it cocked up so that is now soaking wet and half washed - therefore in need of a proper wash before it goes mouldy PLUS my son has just got back from a week abroad so I have a suitcase of his stuff to wash too.
I've just text DP explaining what's happened and asked if I can do a wash at his house, just ONE load and he text back with "can't you use the laundrette?"
This wouldn't have pissed me off so much if it wasn't for the fact that he let his ex wife use his washing machine for an ENTIRE YEAR after they split up and I ask for ONE wash and he points me in the direction of the laundrette??
AIBU??
AIBU?
To be a little pissed off with DP?

YANBU. That's incredibly mean and petty of him.
Is that normal for him?

His excuse was "its awkward with the kids been off school" 
So either he's lied about his DC knowing I exist or he's frightened to death I'll "waste some of his precious electricity".
I know the second one seems silly and unrealistic but honest to god, last week I was at his house and he offered me a cup of coffee. I drink tons of coffee so an hour later when he asked if I'd like another drink I said "yes please". He said "tea or coke?" so I said "do you have any coffee left?" and he muttered "yeah, but you're drinking loads of it, I'll have none left". I'd had ONE cup!! He doesn't think about the times he's at my house though and drinks 4 cups of the stuff before he buggers off back home again and bare in mind he's at my house like twice a week - I'm very, very rarely at his house.
So yes, he could actually be concerned about me using up his electric and putting his bill up 1p or something
Stinginess is never attractive. And neither is hiding your existence from his DC .
Have you been together long, AngryChair? Because he does seem rather a freeloader.
Oh my goodness!
The CHEEK of having two yes,X2 cups of coffee in his home out of his budget
Please, in future, take your own jar of coffee with you. And water, you user.
