Maybe you could add 'obnoxious' or 'scatterbrained' (take your pick) to his description by either purposely or accidentally locking him out?

Chilly, think you've read it wrong. Previous posters just acknowledging others gave also posted about twatty blokes tonight.

And yours sounds like a right one as well. Enjoy your shitty telly, at least it's not rude to you. Wine

Vent away. He sounds thoroughly unpleasant and insulting. Is this his normal attitude towards you ? What do you get out of the relationship exactly?

Sorry I have not complained about my 'twat' in the past. Believe me I have wanted to. Didn't have the courage to deal with the (understandable) LTB responses. I don't have friends in RL , (pub buddies) am estranged from my family members and DH's family are mostly toxic.

Cogigito yes unfortunately this is not unusual behaviour from him. What do I get from the relationship? Truthfully I am scared to strike out on my own. We are not well off - but I gave up my job several years ago to be a SAHM. DC are now in college so are not dependent small children, but dependent all the same. I am pathetic.

26point2miles every weekend is pretty much the same. He claims to be skint (therefore he and I can't go out ) then he gets a text and suddenly can afford to go out (by himself)

Tonight I was invited (rare) but I had 20 minutes notice and needed to bathe/wash hair/do make up. I am 48 ffs and with the best will in the world could not achieve that!

You're not pathetic at all chilly!
It's a bloody scary prospect to go it alone. You have to reach the point where your self respect/worth will not accept it anymore I think.

Like, a 'Fuck you mate, I'm worth so much more than this' type of moment?

Why don't you -quietly- start looking at options?

Jobs, rentals etc

See what your options are.

The kids will cope. They want their mum to happy, don't they?

Look, if my husband said this to me, I'd think he was a twat. In a bad mood. And I would make him sleep on the couch and grovel for the foreseeable.
BUT, if I look at my relationship I'm happy, generally.
I have 4 kids under 8 and my husband is really supportive and a great dad.

So that's the difference. People say stupid things in the heat of the moment, and I often roll my eyes at all the LTB's.

You have to look at everything as a while and decide if you're generally happy to stay, or if you're life would improve greatly by taking the leap.

But you're NOT pathetic. Xx

One of the great things about going it alone is no-one criticizes your tv choices Smile

Who needs a grumpy twat in their life, really, OP? Do you?

Wait til next Saturday night comes around and ask him what exiting plans he has..... Or if he's just going to sit in front of the tv!

Angrybeaver thank you.

Bugger it. I don't want to open Pandora's Box. I don't want to drip feed. You would all tell me to LTB with good reason. All the troll threads of late, I probably would not be believed regardless .

I was in a 20 year marriage and didn't want to open Pandora's Box either. I knew what was inside it and I was terrified of the reality of how bad my marriage was.

When I eventually did open it, I found the courage to leave.

Open yours soon, Chilly.
