I'm really annoyed with my OH and i don't know if i'm being unreasonable or not.

Myself and my Ds (OH's child too) have been ill this weekend sickness and general feeling unwell. Not major can't get out of bed but still ill.

We had planned at least 1 day out this weekend but due to the weather and us being ill we haven't been.

Saturday i was sick and Ds had been sick the day before and had a bad headache. OH didn't come over all day he was digging out his driveway in the morning and then was asleep from about 2 till 7. I rang him at 7 to ask if he was going to come over and help me and that the boys needed feeding.

He came over with some tins of beans and potatoes (and ordered me off the sofa to help but eldest Ds took over and made me sit back down) and gave them that on toast. Not great but food and at least i didn't have to cook it after being sick when my older Ds made the younger one some soup for lunch. He didn't wash up just left the dishes. Ds finally got to bed about 9pm.

He did go to the shop and get me some essentials which i was grateful for. But then hasn't stopped going on about how wonderful he is helping me.

Yesterday was the same didn't see him until tea time. I was feeling slightly better so cooked a roast with sit down breaks in between when i felt woosy. He ate it then buggered off to watch tv. I told him i needed help with the washing up but he ignored me and just said in a minute. I lost my rag and then he sent my older Ds in to help me while he sat on his backside.

He said he was feeling ill so i gave him the benefit of doubt knowing how rough i'd felt.

Today i've found out he's gone to a friends house to paint her living room as a favour! We've barely seen him all weekend and he's back to work tomorrow. I'm so annoyed with him one for not helping very much when we were ill and going to spent the day helping someone else today for free.

No sex or sexual contact at all.

I'm reluctant to give too much detail but in a club it'll be usually heating not burning someone with a lit torch or a cigarette or flogging etc. I don't have a problem with this i just don't want to do it myself in public.

It is his fetish but i have my own that's not getting enough attention which has to change.

The fetish side sounds worse than it is and i don't tell people in real life because they don't understand and automatically think sex which it's not.

In public he does it to other people.

When we're alone i do it to him.

We switch usually people are either dominant or submissive but we're a bit of both.

Squeak. I am almost literally speechless- which if you knew me, is incredibly rare...

THREE HOURS of burning someone??/ Gd that sounds incredibly- boring. cannot you not just shove his arse on the hot plate and go and read a book or something? Wink

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 11/04/2012 11:29

When did this become a thread about judging other people's sexual/intimate habits?

MardyArsedMidlander · 11/04/2012 11:31

It's not judging- just that if he can spaer time for that- why can't he spare time to do the cooking and cleaning and looking after HIS child?
And if he moans about you working too much- why doesn't he give you more maintenance

I see what your saying and if things don't change it's over.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 11/04/2012 11:42

Maybe judging isn't quite the word, but the thread seems to have got derailed a bit. And not everyone would find his fetish boring or dangerous. Obviously I don't disagree that the OP's needs should be met too, though.

MardyArsedMidlander · 11/04/2012 12:17

The OP stated that it's his fetish- and that she has to perform the right way and say exactly the right things.

Even if he looked like Spike and was ravishing me roughly from behind whilst wearing a leather coat (Did I just out myself...Grin) I will still expect more than tinned potatos and beans and £100 a month FFS.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 11/04/2012 12:21

Yes, fair point except I never understood the Spike thing. Although to risk stating the obvious, I think fetish behaviour often involves participants saying and doing some fairly prescribed things, and as long as that's consensual surely that's OK?

But yes, absolutely, the OP deserves more input and support from her partner. Although I'd say that even if she hadn't told us about the fetish.

MardyArsedMidlander · 11/04/2012 12:23

YOU NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE SPIKE THING??????? I am speechless again Grin

AutumnSummers · 11/04/2012 12:31

Mmmmm. Spike. He's in the next season of Supernatural, FYI :)

MardyArsedMidlander · 11/04/2012 12:33

Really????? Thank you for that heads up!

AutumnSummers · 11/04/2012 12:37

He looks a lot older. But I still would. I also recently discovered that he's the same age as my Dad. Yup, still wouold!

AutumnSummers · 11/04/2012 12:38

Charisma Carpenter (AKA Cordelia) also appears. Nostalgia gold!

MardyArsedMidlander · 11/04/2012 12:38

And he met his present wife when she was 16- and went to her graduation with her Confused That put me off for a while. But crushes are like fetishes- you don't have to justify them Grin

AutumnSummers · 11/04/2012 12:42

Mardy, too right! His musical stylings leave a lot to be desired though! he's not all rock n badass. major disappointment but he gets away with it. Did you see him in Torchwood? Oaffft! What a storyline! Very erotic clever.

grobagsforever · 11/04/2012 12:44

Just read this thread. OP this man is a horror. One hundred pounds PCM fir your son? What a shit. He can clearly afford more, clubs aren't cheap. Your poor DS.

Superduperdoo · 11/04/2012 12:55

We haven't been to a club for years so i can't say he's been spending his money there.

I do owe him 1k + that i borrowed off him to move house. He kept banging on about that last night too.

OP posts:
MardyArsedMidlander · 11/04/2012 12:56

I just watched an interview with him yesterday- and was hugely disappointed to discover.... he is very fking sexy in real life. Sigh.
I was a little disappointed he didn't have blond hair in Torchwood- but was ahem glued to my seat due to the homoeroticism.

yes. fetishes, eh? goes to hang washing out to cool down

Mardy, yes, sorry. My name is Lady Clarice and I have never understood why people find Spike from Buffy attractive it's possibly because he appeals to women older than I who were or went out with punks Grin.

Oz, on the other hand ...

wheredidiputit · 11/04/2012 13:24

Having read the whole thread I still think he taing the piss big time.

he wants you to be a his beck and call and do what he wants while giving you sweet FA.

Why is it ok for him to work Ft and renovate his house, while giving you £100 per month to look after your child.

Of course you have to work FT how the fuck does he think you be able keep your family and house if you don't work, and he wont pay.
