Me and 'd' h have been separated just over a month.
It's been mostly amicable, I have agreed to split the house 50/50 and contact with dcs is reasonable.

I rang him today because I was going to mow the grass. He has a ridiculously heavy petrol mower and I couldn't start it, I asked if he had time this weekend would he come and do the garden so dcs can play out on it and I would get a mower myself soon.

He flatly refused, said I need to learn to do things myself and that he's 'happy to help but he's not a mug'

I'm just stunned!! Is it really a big ask, AIBU. I'm sure if his mother was on her own he wouldn't tell her she had to learn to do it

When I was breaking up with my ex, a hornet got into the house. I hate insects and hornets scare the crap out of me. Ex always dealt with them. I fucking killed this one. It was my Road to Damascus Hornet and convinced me that I could live without ex quite happily. Mow your Road to Damascus Grass (or get a neighbour/gardener in) and move on. HA! to him.

YANBU. He could have helped out in the interests of an amicable divorce. My dh regularly helps his sister with her petrol mower. Agree with the others, sell it, and get a small, light one.

In the meantime, is there anyone else you can ask?
