To poke dp in his injured ribs?

[stinkysox]

Dp had an accident at work resulting in 2 fractured ribs. He's obviously in a lot of pain and I've been a martyr looking after him as well as all the normal stuff with having 2 dcs.

After almost a week I'm getting pissed off. He's still in bed because he can't sleep during the night with the pain. I also can't sleep due to his moaning, snoring, grunting and getting in and out of the bed all night.

I've also realised that he managed sex the other night yet can't wash a dish, and picked a friend up yesterday but can't do the school run.

WIBU to accidentally elbow said ribs on the way past him?

HIBU. If one can have sex, one can do the dishes. That's always been my motto.

good motto. Maybe GBH is taking it too far then?

I think if he can have sex and drive friends about he is taking the piss big time!

That is an excellent motto for life, I may adopt.

This made me laugh and reminds me of when my DH broke his collarbone. He couldn't do dishes either, or even read a bedtime story or hold a conversation with a child for five minutes, but he was somehow more than capable of having sex.

"If one can have sex, one can do the dishes."

Make a great cross stitch message, as in: www.subversivecrossstitch.com/

This is brilliant - Im not alone!!! I often find he's too busy / tired, usually the latter, to help round the house, hoover, or discuss the reasons why his father isn't welcome at the house any more etc but always has time and energy for sex...... Although admittedly our sessions aren't as long as they used to be when we first met!

He is still in a lot of pain so I have imposed a sex ban. For his own good of course

Sounds fair op. You wouldn't want him to hurt himself

Sorry to hear you are having communication problems with your partner. You would both benefit from counselling. The kind of abuse/retaliation you suggest isn't the best way to behave. Partners can be irritating when they don't do what we expect of them. Kind regards

I don't think your tongue in cheek tone is coming across to some!

I'm assuming you has sex with him, or was it forced on you. Otherwise do the dishes. Unless you clean the gutters and empty the bins and clean the patio and bleed the radiators and do the decorating and maintain the cars.

I fractured 2 ribs. I definitely couldn't have sex but I managed to still look after 3 kids, cleaning and work. Lazy bastard

I have had fractured ribs before. At the time I had a toddler to look after, and I just had to get on with it.

I'd say he is taking the piss.

nongender
main you are suggesting he does these things?!

Just to interject - most of Mains jobs are once a year jobs. twice at most. I'll swap :)

To clarify. I decorate (it's my profession). I do the DIY including bleeding radiators. I empty the bins.
We don't have a patio and have never cleared the gutters.
Dp knows nothing about cars either.
He does cook though
