Someone please remind me what they are for exactly? I mean really? 3 years and 2 months on DH still bemoans the fact his life is over, I do nothing all day but lux it up like ladies who lunch, look shabby and don't perform the wifely duties like a nubile waif.....mmm think there is a clue in there somewhere maybe that I am NOT lunching and being indulgent. driving me more insane than a tantruming toddler....grrrr

Not my husband. You speak for your own.

btw...this is not how it's meant to be, in case you needed reminding of that

BuntyPenfold · 18/12/2012 23:32

Mine is lovely. Mine is the light of my life.

MrsKeithRichards · 18/12/2012 23:33

Sounds kinetic great catch!

Kinetic?

Maybe you should LTB?

AmberSocks · 18/12/2012 23:34

mines not like that,you need a new one,yours must be broken..

ArtVandelay · 18/12/2012 23:36

Or at least send him away to be reconditioned :)

perplexedpirate · 18/12/2012 23:37

Sorry, mine's ace. Smile

Whoknowswhocares · 18/12/2012 23:41

I believe he is in need of remedial training.

Why have you let him act like this for so long? I too suggest leaving the bastard.
Only for a weekend break of long lunches and living it up Grin. Leave it to the tantruming toddler to show him the error of his ways

Scuttlebutter · 18/12/2012 23:45

Had mine for fifteen years so far. He is lovely. My best friend who treats me with love, respect and affection. I hate posts which generalise about men/husbands. If you have a problem with yours, post in Relationships. But don't assume all men are like your husband.

Nuff said.

TapirAroundTheChristmasTree · 19/12/2012 02:37

Mine is a star, and does just as much (if not more) around the house as I do, has a brilliant relationship with the dcs, and is an all round lovely bloke.

Sorry that you got a defective one - did you keep the receipt?

SantaIAmSoFuckingRock · 19/12/2012 02:43

and you had no clue at all what he was like before you married him?

recall · 19/12/2012 02:47

thismummyneedsslep I know what you mean, mine hints at this sometimes, last time he did it, I bought myself a bunch of flowers and some expensive perfume from him. Every time he pisses you off, treat yourself Grin

BoerWarKids · 19/12/2012 02:51

Perhaps this should be posted in Relationships?

Your relationship is not of any benefit to you and sounds abusive. I'm guessing you know this already, though.

ThisIsMummyPig · 19/12/2012 03:40

I too recommend having some time on your own, and let him deal with your child.

I made my DH do a day a week while I went to work - did wonders

Glittertwins · 19/12/2012 06:32

Made your DH do this??
I've never had to go this far, DH here is now a much better cook, patient with the DTs and has never been made to do anything with them.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 19/12/2012 06:41

My DH isn't like that. He does more in the house than me, does 90% of school drop offs/ASC pick ups and has never told me I look "shabby"

You know this isn't right, don't you?

thismummyneedssleep · 19/12/2012 08:11

Thanks for your comments and yes I think I do know its not healthy and action needs to be taken. Never expected this kind of outcome but there we are.

Thanks mners.

Think yours is broken! I'm on day 3 of being in bed ill and he's been brilliant looking after me.

rogersmellyonthetelly · 19/12/2012 08:34

Yours is a dud I'm afraid. If any of the above comments were made by my dh except in the course of a very heated argument, he would be standing outside the front door with a bag in his hand in fairly short order!

WhereTheWildOnesSnow · 19/12/2012 08:44

I agree with pps, its not all Husbands, its yours! I have an amazing one (boasty I know).

If my DH ever said/implied any of the above stuff about me I would be mightily pissed off.

He is defective. There are much better ones out there.

impty · 19/12/2012 09:01

I agree with the idea that you need to get away, for a night or two and leave him with the childcare....he'll change his tuneWink

MikeOxardInTheSnow · 19/12/2012 10:34

That's not normal OP, that sounds like an ex-husband. My dh is fab, my life is infinitely better for having him in it (I wouldn't bother to have a dh otherwise, they are optional you know)!
