Firstly DH gave me nothing for christmas, not even a card. No christmas greeting either. No help from him with dinner or the dishes, hes sat watching tv now. Xmas Angry
A fox killed all the chickens over night.
The upside is DS (2) is having a lovely time playing with his toys.

We went to mums for christmas dinner so no cooking or cleaning. We are skint this year and said we'd only spend £10 on each other :) I bought him two presenTs and he got my two presents except one of dhs didn't turn up :(!

Some of you sound like your DH/DPs need a slave not Wives or girlfriends. I'm lucky as who ever cooks the other washes up/clears up!

Countrydweller, good luck. I spent several years with a moody man like that and i left him after I had my daughters (they were 6 and 2 when i left). Things can be better and I never regret going. You don't deserve to be treated like that, and you deserve some peace and happiness, wishing you a better CHristmas next year

Mos - so sorry to read that sweetie

Curiousmama · 27/12/2010 11:32

So sorry to hear that some of you are with utter twats. Glad to hear some of you are getting out though. I told exdh I was leaving on the 29th December but I'd made my mind up long before. He wasn't as bad as this lot though but I knew we shouldn't be married (other reasons)
All the best to you and your dcs for 2011 Smile

It gets better/worse?
Yesterday he ignored me and DS all day and today went out before we got up to do his hobby.
Next year will be better, when I've organised it we are definately going. I'm not having my son growing up thinking what his F does in normal adult behaviour.

Good for you! That's the reason I left, didn't want dss thinking it was normal. Although exdh is a brilliant dad and lovely man tbh we just lived like brother and sister and no physical affection (miracle I got dss!)

Is there anywhere you can go with ds for a few days?

YANBU to want a better day and to go out anf get yourself a better life.

H walked out on us few weeks ago, at first I was devastated, but the way he left was so hurtful I realised we're better off. We had a better xmas than I've had for years.

No twunt getting drunk and p*ing on things, no twunt being moody, no twunt falling asleep and generally not being arsed. Went for a family day out on boxing day, which would have been shite if he'd been here - he would have refused to go or come and been moody cos he was missing boxing day football.

Good luck for 2011 x
