Been married 15 years.
Neither of us are happy, and haven't been for a long long time.
Yesterday, for example:
We'd been on a family day out on Sunday. Had visited a local landmark. A craft stall had been selling photos of it. I bought a framed one for the hallway. And two small ones to frame for children's rooms. I had done it 'secretly', partly so H didn't complain about the money (£18, total, from my DLA) and partly to surprise the children once framed.
H comes in from work at 4pm. A little while later he starts to unwrap the photo package (bubble wrap and tape). I ask him not to, as there is a 'surprise in there for the kids'. He carries on. I ask him again. He carries on. I tell him - please stop. He throws the package on the floor and stomps out of the room shouting about 'having to do as he is told'.
At 7pm he announces he is running a bath as he is sore. We have two children to process through the bathroom / bedroom routine and quite a few parental jobs to do still prior to 'sitting down / having personal time'. I ask if he can hang on for a bit and help getting the kids to bed, house organised, animals dealt with etc.
He slams his coffee down (breaking cup and making a big mess all over the kitchen) and storms off upstairs. I do as much of it as I can solo (I have mobility problems) and get to sit down myself at around 9.30.
there is loads more but I am not sure where to start / stop so I'll just put this for now.
