To tell DH if he leaves me I will screw him for everything he's got.....

[AmadeusRocks]

My bastard DH has this evening made a joke saying "if I left you for my secretary you'd be financially screwed", I am 36 weeks pregnant and already worrying about money and hormonal. I quipped back "well if you leave me I will take you for everything you've got" and he was horrified!

I've kicked him out for the night to stew at his mothers. Seriously, what sort of arsehole makes that comment to a pregnant woman, especially when I've just passed up promotion opportunity which would DOUBLE my salary to bear his children!

So WIBU to react like that?

I'm not going to link to it RJ but the OP's only started a couple if you use advanced search it'll come up.

Context means such a lot. I've told DH, quite firmly [tongue in cheek] that if he leaves me he has to take custody of DS1. I might amend that to DS2, on current form. We're secure enough in our relationship to joke about it, though and both boys need a lot of 1:1 care.

I did check earlier and I only found two as well - one thread about a friend giving her a gift and this one? My search is wonky!

Donkt see what's braggy abut that. A bit extravagant may be but nothing unusual and plenty to cut back on if income drops. Babies change lifestyles.

Sounds like the classic man joke, and they do hate it when you retaliate in kind...
Seriously doubt he in anyway meant it seriously, but it was an utter stupid 'joke' to make. Bet you'll make up tomorrow tho :)

maybe in your experience there's man joke?i suspect it not universally shared

Odd

Marking place to await developments.

I think you have to be careful about the motives behind the 'joke'. The context wasn't clearly explained and made the Op angry enough to ask him to leave.
I get a very uneasy feeling about the power some men feel when pregnancy makes a woman feel insecure after reading several abuse threads that started in a similar way.
I really don't think the Op has anything to worry about financially but his dangling of the 'secretary' was just what a heavily pregnant woman needs to feel secure wasn't it?

Ooh-what's occurring??

Nasty joke got a nasty answer. What was his problem?

That escalated quickly

Yep, pretty baffling OP having read your other thread...

They spend £400 a month on food???

Wtf do they eat? Ostrich eggs?

Read the other thread and have little sympathy for financial situation, but the OPs husband was being a dick. Hope baby has arrived safe and sound and they have kissed and made up now.

Man joke = crappy thoughtless joke. You've never been subjected to one? Well lucky you!!

good luck

I wouldn't assign gender to a bad taste joke
if its shite joke,it's a shite joke.thers no need to apply stereotyped gender assignations
I really don't think there is man/woman joke.

Goodness, hope they are a happy little family now!

Is this a business arrangement or a marriage?!

Just seen birth impending, hope all well!

Very odd pair of threads, there must be more behind them.

Just to update you all that we've had a beautiful baby son at 10.30am on Saturday weighing 7lb 2 and he is named Patrick Cassius Paul or Cassius Patrick Paul
