I am in the process of moving into DP's house and he has been "helping" me sort stuff out.
I'm annoyed though because he has not stopped ripping the piss out of my possessions since we started. He constantly complains about the house itself, saying it's dirty, dusty, mouldy, in a crap area etc etc but then he starts on my actual belongings.
For instance he was having a car boot sale and asked if I had anything I wanted selling. I made a box up of stuff I needed rid of and he pulled a face, laughed and said "err ... I wouldn't expect much for this lot if I were you". And then he kept going on about how my carboot stuff would probably need to be binned.
Yesterday he was laughing at my sofa. I am trying to sell it and he kept laughing at saying stuff like "lets be fair, would YOU buy that?? I mean ... personally I think £20 is too much for it, never mind £40" there is nothing wrong with it.
Today it was my bed: "I'd put your bed in the paper but I don't think you'd get anything for it ... I mean ... (laughs) ... I wouldn't buy that, personally" again, IMO there is nothing wrong with it.
The one that really pissed me off was that he held up an old tea-towel at my house and said "oh gross! how disgusting, that can be binned". I said "no, my mum bought me that years ago, I'm keeping it" so he laughed and said "you're joking? it's gross! it has holes in!" he then took it back to his house, held it up and encouraged his daughter to have a good laugh at it too.
I've just been sorting through my christmas decorations and he held one thing up and said "That can go in the bin? surely ... it's corny, I hate stuff like that"
I'm pissed off. His house is hardly a fucking palace ... he wears clothes with holes in yet he rips the piss out of a holy tea-towel? He had posters of dragons and unicorns on his bedroom wall yet he rips the piss out of a father christmas card holder??
What is his problem? is he trying to chip away at my confidence or what?
