To get angry if DW leaves her job without real consultation

Found out the night before it was going to happen anyway that DW had negotiated her exit.

She had moaned for a couple of years about the job and people and I offered support during that time but
when it came to the crunch I was not consulted and left as sole earner whilst we do depend on both incomes to maintain the current lifestyle.

It was presented as a done deal and I was told by her that she did well to get what she got blah blah.

Hi SF, just to point out, there is support for abused men on here.

AnyFucker · 10/01/2013 21:39

There have been several examples of threads recently where a woman posts to be met with not you again, stop namechanging to ask the same question over and over

AnyFucker · 10/01/2013 21:39

oops, that was meant to have speech marks, not bolding

SigmundFraude · 10/01/2013 21:40

My boys are my everything AF, that is all.

AnyFucker · 10/01/2013 21:41

That's great, SF

Both my children are my everything. And my husband. And certain members of my family, gender not important.

SigmundFraude · 10/01/2013 21:45

I could say the same re. you. That you automatically defend men on here. Do you really see the individual attitudes and behaviours that others are criticising as perfectly ok ?

Men in general, not usually individuals.

For example, this bloke here. Do you get the feeling he treats his wife well, with care and kindness ? Or are you just making a point ?

I don't really think we know enough to say either way. I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt until proved otherwise. I'm also making a point probably. It's been one of those days.

My boys rank way above other family members btw.

SigmundFraude · 10/01/2013 21:46

Jammy - I'd noticed, that's good Smile.

AnyFucker · 10/01/2013 21:48

Certain other members of my family can go to fuck Smile, gender not important

MrsTerryPratchett · 10/01/2013 21:48

Do you get the feeling he treats his wife well, with care and kindness? The last line of his OP, where he ends what his DW says with 'blah blah' doesn't make me think he listens well, no. I can't speak for AF.

SigmundFraude · 10/01/2013 21:50

DH is nearly as important when he's not being an arse like today

AnyFucker · 10/01/2013 21:53

Start a thread in Relationships ?

SigmundFraude · 10/01/2013 21:55

Thing is MrsTerry, DH has seriously annoyed me today..I could have come on here and felt justified in slating him. People might have said 'Jeez, you have NO respect for your DH, the way you talk about him'. But that wouldn't be true, I love him, and I'm respectful to him (usually).

SigmundFraude · 10/01/2013 21:58

Grin. Everyone who's read this thread would be on his side!!

Pigsmummy · 10/01/2013 22:00

Before you really kick off double check that she hasnt bagged the Euromillions jackpot.....

AnyFucker · 10/01/2013 22:05

SF, it might test your theory that MN (or certain posters on MN) always side with the woman...

AnyFucker · 10/01/2013 22:06

Am not being serious, btw.

SigmundFraude · 10/01/2013 22:13

AF.

Been thinking. I should apologise for my first post on the thread, I was being an arse (as you correctly pointed out), and it was uncalled for.

I won't post in Relationships. I think they might side with me today. It was housework related, enough said!

AnyFucker · 10/01/2013 22:19

Thanks for the apology, SF, and it is gratefully accepted. You are right, it did seem un-necessarily mean, and personal.

However, before you know it, we will be almost friendly Smile

Seekingthezone · 10/01/2013 22:22

badinage - If you are reading the fora then do it properly. I said there was no other woman.

SigmundFraude · 10/01/2013 22:23

Stranger things have happened Smile

AnyFucker · 10/01/2013 22:25

Indeed

SigmundFraude · 10/01/2013 22:28

Anyway, I shall bid you goodnight as I have to get up ridiculously early with 2 tiny(ish) tearaways!

AnyFucker · 10/01/2013 22:28

interesting thread for you, SF?

AnyFucker · 10/01/2013 22:29

Ah, another time then.

SigmundFraude · 10/01/2013 22:29

Nothing there?
