To think that for once DH should say sorry

meemu28 · 17/05/2011 00:31

I moved out of DH's house a year ago and seem to spend every weekend there. I also go there to clean during the day as after 8 years he has forgotten how to do it himself.

I am currently not working but have been offered a self employed position that I am very excited about. DH now wants to know when I am moving back in.

DH has DSS (8) every weekend but does nothing except lie on the sofa whilst I orginise meals, entrertainment etc. We also have a 1 yr old and I have a 12 year old from a previous relationship.

This weekend I have been typing and photographing stuff on Ebay as well as doing the usual washing, ironing, cooking, cleaning stuff at his. I had put my 1 yr old to bed and snuggled up to her for 10 mins when he barged into the bedroom saying ' I am glad you can have a f*ing sleep whilst I am downstairs with them two (SS and DS), I wanted you to put some stuff on Ebay for me'.

I explained I was only snuggling my DD and would be down in 5 mins to do it but he marched of and then started shouting at my DS for having his feet on the sofa.

Obviously I left immediately with my DS and DD (after waking her) as I thought he was being unreasonable and ridiculous.

I went back 45 mins later to pick up DS's Jumper and asked where my SS was only for him to tell me in a smug tone of voice that he had taken him home.

I am so angry with him that he cannot even look after his own child esp. since this has now become my fault.

I rang him today to see if he wanted me to make his dinner when he got back from work and he said, 'no, I will sort myself out'. Something he has not managed to do in 8 years.

I am so sick of being the one to apologise even when I don't know what I have done, just to keep the peace and I am fed up of him having a go a my DS when he is in a bad mood even though we have to treat the SS with kid gloves as he is sensitive.

Can you tell us why you moved out in the first place?

tallulahxhunny · 17/05/2011 07:40

Are you for real?
Why did you move out a year ago?
more to the point wtf do you go back every weekend and clean his house and make his dinner every day??
does he pay your rent in the house you stay in mid-week?
are you together or separated?

this is a very confusing thread!

GypsyMoth · 17/05/2011 09:03

if you dont work then how are you supporting yourself financially??

badmummy101 · 17/05/2011 09:10

why should he say sorry?
you are complaining that he is treating you like a mug, the only reason he is doing that is because you are letting him.
if someone would cook, clean, and iron for me in return for me treating them like shit why would i bother to have any respect for them? they obviously have none for themself.

I wonder what your 12yr old thinks of all this. Confused.

I am damn sure he hasnt "forgotten" how to clean his house, why should he bother when some mug comes and cleans it for him..

muminthecity · 17/05/2011 09:33
Shock

Why on earth would you allow anyone to treat you this way? Don't you think you deserve a bit better than this for God's sake? He clearly has no respect for you whatsoever, do you think that is a good example for your children? Please, please stop being such a doormat, you are really not doing anyone any favours.

Hullygully · 17/05/2011 09:33

This is a lie.

If it isn't a lie, you are off your bleedin rocker.

Pictish · 17/05/2011 09:35

Just wow. Shock

Can't get over this arrangement at all. You are bonkers!

Pictish · 17/05/2011 09:36

I suspect this is a wind up too. No-one is this daft in rl, surely?

Flisspaps · 17/05/2011 09:36

Meemu, please, have a bit of respect for yourself - and for your children.

TotemPole · 17/05/2011 09:39

It must be a wind up.

Apart from the rest, the OP moved out as soon as she had her DD, but she's a daddies girl?Confused

BelovedCunt · 17/05/2011 09:39

so he fucked off with you when his first partner had their son and now you have a child with him he has moved you out - are you seeing a pattern?

AnyFucker · 17/05/2011 09:48

are there really women like this ?

nah, not buying it

ChaoticAngelQueenofAnarchy · 17/05/2011 09:54

Why are you with him?

He's a crap dad. He's a crap husband.

You really would be better off without him, that way you'd be free to find someone who treats you with respect.

SenoritaViva · 17/05/2011 09:56

This doesn't make any sense, unless perhaps he is wholly supporting her (rent, food money etc.) and so in exchange she feels obliged to work for him by cooking and cleaning.

If that is the case then that is now how things work.

If this is a wind up it is ridiculous.

GypsyMoth · 17/05/2011 09:56

i was thinking it might be a benefit scam

SarahStratton · 17/05/2011 09:59

Hmm just Hmm

Either this is utter bollocks or someone needs a massive reality check.

TotemPole · 17/05/2011 10:00

I'm not sure there's a scam in running two homes.

I thought the scam was saying they are single parent, they get IS/JSA and Housing paid but in reality the working father lives with them an also contributes to the household.

TotemPole · 17/05/2011 10:02

Come on ladies, be reasonable, this fine specimen of a man has a nice arse so that makes up for all his shortcomings.

GypsyMoth · 17/05/2011 10:07

totem.....she's not (at present) working

so moves out,claims she's single parent....hb,ctc,ctc and IS.......does this sound like the kind of man who would financially support 2 households??

stickytoffeepud · 17/05/2011 10:07

if someone came round and did all my housework and chores, i might "forget" how to do it myself

if you act like a doormat, thats how people expect to treat you

BimboNo5 · 17/05/2011 10:10

I thought benefit scam as well.
You dont really need to be asking us- Jezza would be more appropriate.

LadyBeagleEyes · 17/05/2011 10:12

Definitely a wind up.
If true OP, I'm sure Jeremy Kyle would love to meet you.

ShoutyHamster · 17/05/2011 10:13

How much was the overdraft?

Have you paid it off with the cleaning etc. yet - if so, give notice, and get a better paid job elsewhere
