Soo I’ve just had a call from our letting agent went to voicemail as I was on a call and my fucking husband hasn’t paid the rent for the last 2 months….

The bastard is at work and his phone has been switched off

I don’t have the money to pay it all - I did wonder why he had some extra money

We have separate accounts he pays rent etc I pay other bills it all works out fair

I am so bloody angry I daren’t phone the letting agent back and I’m off to check his emails 😡😡😡

I don’t know how long you’ve been/lived together, but it’s sounds like he’s in a financial pickle, and naively thought he could temporarily use rent to cover some other debt without ‘worrying’ you, as nobody would ‘forget’ to pay rent 2 months running. I guess you will have it out with him tonight, and if it turns out to be caused by poor money mismanagement you will need to take charge of his money to straighten things out, and if he won’t accept your help you’ll need to think about whether you can stay with someone you can’t trust. I had a similar issue a few years ago with my husband, gave him a bollicking for running up an unnecessary debt for a frivolous reason (stag weekend abroad!) then offered to take charge & he was eager to let me. I restricted his spending money to £30 per week cash, separated into envelopes each week every month he got paid. Within 6 months all his debts plus our car loan was paid off early, and he took back control of his money. I trust him now, as I know he’s learned his lesson & doesn’t want to be embarrassed like that again. Hope your issue is resolved satisfactorily.

You forgot the punchline...

This thread is a dead parrot:

E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

DH never wanted to work in a pet shop. He wanted to be a lumberjack.

That poster is saying they are place marking to read the update of his excuse. That's all. It's not the OP under another name.

I really do hate when people do this. It's so fucking annoying and selfish, only twats do it. The Watch this thread function was created precisely to stop people taking up posts to 'placemark'.

MumHereAgain2023 · 13/08/2023 04:49

Here to for an update?

It is when you think there is an update, and it's someone just saying "placemarking". Or, just a [ . ]. And nothing else.

I bet you it will! Without any update from the OP ofc😂

chickenpi · 13/08/2023 08:12

The OP is not coming back. I don't think I could be bothered to come back to 700+ messages either. She clearly doesn't need our help and isn't obligated to update us.

Tiredalwaystired · 13/08/2023 10:13

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 12/08/2023 15:04

This is why you click "read all" on the OPs post and see if they've ever come back, before investing the time.

Ln a 29 page thread if the OPs only posted once or twice, I'm not reading it!

Maybe the reason he didn't call her back is because he works all night and he works all day.

*he sleeps all night and he works all day.

Apologies, it's been a while.

Yes it’s heartbreaking, I hope you sleep better once this thread is full.

Rosiem2808 · 13/08/2023 13:31

@PupInAPram and do not forget he is also a bastard. That's a lot of responsibility what with working all day.......

Mittleme · 13/08/2023 14:05

I just think when you rush to peoples help for advice . It's only courteous to give them feedback.
that's why these kind of threads are for to learn from others etc .
oh well

@VictoriaVenkman maybe her DH is a lumberjack, and he's ok? Grin
