Help me to forget about killing DP

DP is currently at home isolating as he was apparently in contact (through his job) with someone that had COVID, he’s already tested negative but apparently has to wait out the isolation period. Let’s just say I’ve had a burning rage to kill him the last few days. We aren’t the living in each other’s pocket type of family so it’s been very testing. He’s been overly helpful to the point I’ve wanted to strangle him, comes to tell me the same things several times a day. He’s interfering in the way I do things that I’ve been doing the last 13 years since dc was born. He’s left The home side of things to me the last 13 years so I’ve established a routine. I appreciate it’s not his fault and he can’t help it but so god help me if I have to hear a rundown off the headlines again I’m gonna lose my shit.

Tell me your ‘I’m gonna kill DP/dh’ stories.... 😩

@Ghostlyglow

And he answers every question with another question. I actually think he has become incapable of giving a straight answer to anything.
God yes, so does mine

Me - “can you let the dog out please” (after all, you are standing by the back door daydreaming while she’s at your feet asking to go out)

DH - “what do you mean, can I let the dog out?”

Me - Confused

Does my head in

And yes, the loo roll, he never puts empty ones in the bin, despite the bin being right next to the loo. We currently have a cardboard tube sculpture on our bathroom window sill that I’m completely ignoring, but it’s pissing me off as you can see it from outside so the neighbours are probably judging us Grin

Just remember...its only murder if they find the body ,otherwise its just a missing person..

These are all so true. Latest with us is the boiler. I have been saying for years that we needed to upgrade our ancient, inefficient old rust bucket boiler but he didn't want to because it 'still worked'. Finally ignored him and did it anyway. The difference is amazing. All the rooms warm. Constant hot water, no noise and bills are half the price. Dh loves it, keeps opening the cupboard to watch it working (been in months now) saying what a good idea he decided to do it. Then walks away, looking smug and leaving the cupboard door open.

I've moaned about this on here before but he is still doing it:

DH will do the washing up by hand until there is approximately the correct amount of stuff to fit the dishwasher. He then loads the dishwasher and anything that won't fit is left to soak in a sink full of cold greasy water so when I next want to fill the kettle I have to fish it all out and wash up the washing up bowl to get rid of all the congealed grease. Fucker.

“What shall I do with this?”
Me (from upstairs whilst he is downstairs) “With what?”
Him: “This thing” ....
Constant inability to say “What should I do with the parcel addressed to next door?” or to even just decide for himself what to do with it!!!!!!!!! Just an expectation that I will know what “this” is, even when I’m nowhere near him.
