So recently myself and dp have had some money problems which I think may acxount for some of this but we are just not getting on. We have 1 year old dd, he works full time as a manager in clothes store and im full time student. The last few weeks dp has been rota-ing his days off to fall on days when I am in college and dd is in nursery so he has effectively a whole day to himself.
Every time he has not done anything to help in the house, I do 99% of the housework anyway but my misguided brain thought he would at least do something.
I snapped last night and said he was taking the piss and he had the cheek to say he had washed up then proceeded with the silent treatment.
We do have money problems at the moment so I think he is stressed about that but he refuses to do anything constructive about it. Last week when I said he should sell some of his old things he gave me the silent treatment again. These thibgs are all electrical items.. a flat screen tv, car stereos etc.not sentimental.
I just feel like im being pushed into being a skint little housewife and that he is manipulating the situation.
Its making me miserable and I dont want to break up our family but I refuse to stay in a relationship like this.
Before we had dd he was helpful and kind and generous, helped with house, cooked lovely dinners... I am so exhausted at the end of everyday and I cant help feeling iy would be easier to be alone. I love him very much though and he is a great dad
Am I being unreasonable to expect more??
