To sit in bed and cry all night because I just want some sympathy?

So today I find out I'm likely to be made redundant by Christmas. I've got a stinking cold and my period is on its way (we've been TTC for three years so this time of the month is always painful)

DH had two parcels delivered to my work today and I forgot to bring them home as I'd been in meetings all day, trying to keep a brave face amongst all the shit going on and was just exhausted. They were on my desk ready to go an I just forgot them. So I've got home and been yelled at for forgetting them, they are nothing important, just boys toys.

He knows that I found out today about being put at risk and hasn't asked about it, it's pretty obvious I've been crying but he just asked where his stuff was then stormed off downstairs and is now slamming things about and swearing to himself. AIBU to want to scream at him and smash up some of his other 'toys' and shout that it's not all about him?

I'll probably just continue to sit here and cry to be honest but shouting back is what I want to do, if only I had the energy!

He's being a complete knob. Show him this and let him read what I've said if you feel like it. Inconsiderate, entitled and downright nasty. If you'd been told you were likely to be made redundant today why would he think his bloody parcels would be foremost in your mind? Next time he can sort his own parcels out, don't have them sent to your work again. And if he fails to be in when they try to deliver - don't go and collect them for him.
He's being a prat.

He's being an inconsiderate dickhead. Maybe he's freaking out about you imminently having to look for a new job but even if that is the case he should find a better way of expressing his anxiety.

happyclapper · 13/09/2012 18:31

Yes, everything schoolgov' said. With knobs on..

raspberrytipple · 13/09/2012 18:41

Thank you :) I'm glad it's not just me who thinks he's being a dick. I just had a very loud conversation about it with my mum, had a cry to her and he turned the f£&@ing TV up.

I've asked him not to have parcels delivered before but apparently that's unreasonable as he's not allowed them to be sent to his work as they get narky. Mine do to but I just have to put up with that. He can be such a pain in the arse sometimes :(

I really, really need some chocolate now but nothing in the house :(

Just tell him that next time you'll refuse the delivery. Since when was your job less important than his?
Is he often like this? Honestly, some people should just live alone.

GobblersKnob · 13/09/2012 18:45

Bless you, don't just sit and cry though, if I were you I woud go out, your mums? A friend? Buy some ice cream on the way and eat the lot.

Sorry you are having a shitty time, have a ((hug))

raspberrytipple · 13/09/2012 18:46

Jesus Christ he really is ignoring me. He just came up the stairs, looked at me and walked off. I don't know whether I'm actually more hurt than I am angry?

School he's very rarely like this, he's usually a complete rock, I think that's why I'm so shocked?

Time to have it out with him I think

schoolgovernor · 13/09/2012 18:52

Out of character but no excuse. Do you have children to worry about? I'd be inclined to pack a toothbrush, pick up car keys and go and visit mum for a night.

redexpat · 13/09/2012 18:52

Thinkkatisha is right

liveinazoo · 13/09/2012 18:55

id clear off out for a bit and visit mum/friend and let him simmer down a bit
he is being a twunt
when youve had a bt space id have it out with him.if he is normally a reasonable man maybe something has happened at work today or pehps hes panicking about being the sole breadwinner?
big hugs and virtual chocolate

Schlock · 13/09/2012 18:56

He is behaving like an arsehole. I have no problem with you taking to your bed. I have taken to mine this afternoon because I'm feeling sorry for myself and really can't be arsed to lift a finger but thankfully everyone is being nice to me as they seem to be under the impression that I'm poorly. Who am I to argue?

raspberrytipple · 13/09/2012 18:57

No kids to worry about. Think I'm going to scrape myself off the bed and go and have a conversation. Depending how that goes I might disappear out for an hr or two. I feel really rotten though so want to avoid it if I can!

That went well. Now he's being even more arsey with me and has stropped off to have a bath.

OP posts:
Katisha · 13/09/2012 19:17

Just because of the parcels?

raspberrytipple · 13/09/2012 19:30

I apologised for forgetting them, he said don't worry. Silence. So I asked why couldn't he have asked if I was ok knowing the day I'd had and he got up and said 'ffs I'm going to have a bath'. I really don't have a clue what is going on in his head.

Katisha · 13/09/2012 19:37

Anyone you can go out for a drink with? Even if only soda water ?get yourself out of his silly self absorbed atmosphere. Don't be treading on egg shales for heavens sake.

RuleBritannia · 13/09/2012 19:41

Is it possible that he has some unsettling news, too, too, but hasn't divulged it yet?

raspberrytipple · 13/09/2012 19:45

Well I just lost my temper and yelled so that's that for tonight. Think I'll just have some food and head to bed, I really can't face going anywhere now. What a wonderful bloody day.

Doubt there's anything bad Rule, he's just absorbed in himself and will come around by morning and apologise but tonight I just need to be able to talk things through with him and now I can't.

So..... I text him when I got into bed and said all I wanted was a cuddle, 5 minutes later he was in bed with me. Lots of texts today checking I'm ok, steak dinner when I got home and until 5 minutes ago I was the proud owner of a tub of Ben & Jerrys icecream. Peace is restored in the tipple household although I've still got no idea what the strop yesterday was about :/

Sokmonsta · 14/09/2012 21:03

Is he worried about you being at risk of losing your job? Mine is a complete dick when he's worrying about money. Doesn't excuse his overreaction to you forgetting parcels.

raspberrytipple · 14/09/2012 21:31

I really don't know Sokmonsta, I don't get him sometimes. It's not like it's my fault so why be cross with me?
