To be fed up about all the threads....

[benbobaggins]

that feature twats who are people's 'D' P who are behaving like selfish idiots, it's Christmas if they can't behave at this time of year, I wonder what they're like the rest of the year, makes me glad I'm a single mother who only has my son to think about.

To be fair there are two sides to every story and we only get to hear one on here.

Yes, YABVU. How about some sympathy/empathy for those women who are suffering in those relationships, who need help and support or, at the very least, just a place to rant?

Glad you are happy. Just be grateful that you are.

I'm more fed up of the begging ones, starting to disbelieve anyone who complains about not being paid and cynically wondering when the pms will get to them with offers

That's just it, I do have sympathy and wonder why these women are with these twats partners, my partner was the same, I gave him chance after chance then got fed up and ditched him...

Have yourself a merry little Christmas...

Bully for you, OP.

Aren't you special. People gone here to bitch about life. This includes bitching about their partners.

I love my husband and will never leave him. That doesn't mean I don't want to complain about him on occasion.

Tisn't that simple to walk out of relationships though is it.

Also, I'm sure all of us have our moments and this is a stressful time of year.

One twattish episode doesn't maketh a twat (as the saying I've just made up goes)

My DH cannot cope with shopping/present buying/wrapping/cooking etc and I could post any number of AIBU about him and no doubt word it very much in my favour. However, he could also do the same about me and the things I'm useless at. It's all such a tiny part of family life on the whole.

Come on op.... I'm a lone parent too, but your post is almost smug!

Yes some men are behaving like idiots.... That's the downside isn't it? Along with washing their socks.

But isn't that the whole point of mumsnet, so that we can all complain about what is pissing us off?

And to be fair, at Christmas, it's usually the people we live with who piss us off.

That's the joy of the season

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but in here it's so delightful...

Really didn't mean to come over smug, just feel sorry for the ladies that are in tears and feel that they're not enjoying Christmas, makes me feel

Yeah... Feel sorry for them too. I get what you're saying. I've just had my ex husband arrive and take the kids out.... He hasn't seem them in 6 years!!!! And neither have I...

I'm feeling wierd.

Six years Witchety . That's a bit tough on them.

Were they happy to go?

I don't get this. No they are not enjoying christmas but then they don't enjoy the rest of the year.

You may be fed up for them. But remember the majority of dps are not useless or abusive. There is never going to be a thread 'aibu because my husband is so wonderful'.
throw in that the op is telling their side of the story then the fact that it maybe the persons only failing, yabu.

Is that you Mary?

They have had phone contact for a year now ( he was abusive but is now reformed and court had said no contact)and 2 of them are teens, other is ten. Yes, they were happy to go. It wasn't awkward or anything. Was strangely good to see him

I've just had my ex husband arrive and take the kids out.... He hasn't seem them in 6 years!!!! And neither have I...

Witchety I know that wasn't supposed to be humorous but it did make me laugh

I've been sat here wondering why neither of you have seen the kids for 6 years and if they're just exceptionally gifted at hide n' seek

Oh I see worra

I told you I'm feeling weird!

Youngest DS went 45 minutes hiding behind a curtain and we though that was a record

People moan about their partners, sometimes they do stupid things but we still love them.

My husband drives me mad at times, he is forgetful, I often have to ask him numerous times to do things(stuff only he can do), he is rubbish at shopping, not great with finances etc.

BUT I love him, he loves me. He would do anything for me. He is kind and thoughtful - most of the time. He will put me first. He even asks for permission to go to a rugby match or out for a drink (he doesnt need to ask but it's nice that he asks if I mind). He is working all over Christmas so we have spending money for our holiday.

So, even though he drives me mad at times I wouldn't be without him.

I think it's just that Christmas magnifies everything. So what is a little blip at other times of the year and just goes over your head becomes more hurtful/difficult/ stressful at Christmas.

There's so much pressure for everything to be perfect. It's like Christmas finds you out and highlights all your problems.

downtown I agree, Christmas is a problem highlighter!

Prefer the shitty partner threads to the multitude of begging threads this year.

But there's moaning which is normal and acceptable and there's sat in tears, surely the latter isn't normal?
