Hi, basically, earlier today, i asked dp to do some washing up so i could get in the sink to wash dd's bottles. So he goes into the kitchen, starts filling the sink and comes back and collects up the bottles dd has used this morning. I tell him to never mind that, just leave it and do the washing up, ill sort bottles. to which he replied i am only putting them by the sink, so i got up, told him no, leave it just listen for once (i know i know i havent helped matters) and slammed kitchen door shut with him in there, few moments later he came out and got shoes and socks on, and went out onto the balcony presumably to go for a smoke, whatever methinks, he can have that and go get on with the task i have asked him to do, (i really dont ask much of him, its this, empty bins and feed dd sometimes)

So hes been sat there a while, so i got really riled, opened balcony door, and told him if all he was going to do was sit out there and sulk, then ive got no time/patience for him and told him to get out. or words to that effect.

meanwhile i had a vomit/baby situation and took us both in the bedroom to change her and my clothes, and while i was doing this, he came in fetched his keys and left (fair enough, i told him to...hes just decided to walk out on his dd)

What really got me annoyed is what he took - bank card (jokes on him, no money in that account), disconnected his pc (no problem there, ive got laptop) he also took the adapter cable for the router, removing my internet access!

i know where he is, his mates,

if he comes back should i bother letting him in?

Problem is Purple she drip fed the info. On face value, in the first post, she sounds like she's abusing her OP, but from the subsequent info (drip fed) one can see why she's now at the end of her tether.

OP, how are things today? Hope you are okay.

Yeah me and dd have come to his moms, he held her for all of five mins before he sodded off out as he had 'made plans' its alright, he's gone to an arts fest with some mates, funny how hes never expressed an interest in art and its something he'd never normally go to in any other circumstances. I feel he has gone for the sake of going. Apparently they may be going to a pub after. Fine by me but if he comes back stinking of alcohol im sorry but hes not touching her till he sleeps it off.

blue I really think you need to put your foot down here and say no more.

I have been in the exact same position as you have, and if I hadn't spelt it out to my dp what he was risking he would never have changed.

If you need some support or even just someone to rant to without judgement like some on here have done feel free to pm me!

Blueangaroo look after yourself...and your baby..you sound like your head is screwed on but you're having to swim against the tide with your fella.

Get ALL the help you can from Grannies etc...and put you and baby first. Make a routine for washing up and bottle cleaning and try to get someone round regularly to give yu a break. It's SO tiring. Good luck.

Hi again OP, I do agree that you need to spell it out calmly to your DP what he risking here.

Is there any special reason why he cannot work, btw? maybe it would help if he was out of the house doing something useful, and you wouldn't feel so unhappy about him going to festivals and pubs which I presume he can't really afford.

Hope tonight is ok, and that you get some rest.
