I told my dh on Wednesday that we were having 2 sets of friends round for Sunday lunch and I was making a full roast etc. These are mutual friends, in fact, 1 of the sets of friends are more 'his' than 'mine', although I like them too.

He was fine with this, although he can be a bit lazy socially and would be quite happy sat on the sofa all weekend on our own watching TV.

I was preparing the meal from 8am, cleaned the house from top to bottom - with no help at all from dh. I don't mind that, I tend to do all the cooking and cleaning etc.

We had finished our meal and cleaned up. The children were playing upstairs, the men were watching football and the women were drinking wine around the dining table (sound like 1950s?). Then at 4.30 another of dh friend's came round, dh had invited him for Sunday dinner and told him to come at 4.30.

Dh asked if I would russle up a roast dinner for his friend as he had said that he would have one. I said no. I said that I had been cooking and cleaning since 8am and I was not prepared to cook again (all leftovers were in the bin or freezer).

He has been in a massive piss all afternoon. He is looking for reasons to be in a piss... anything... he is grabbing at straws because he knows the reality is that I haven't done anything wrong. He is in a mood because he can't find a hot water bottle (my fault). He is in a mood because the children made a mess upstairs (my fault). He is in a mood because our children are now fighting (my fault).

I have just blown up and yelled at him that I have done nothing wrong to have to put up with his mood. I asked him to tell me exactly what I had done wrong for him to be in this bad mood. Apparently I shouldn't have invited people here on Sunday.

Bloody man.

He was too tired after eating your lovely lunch, but you should be fine to sort out his mess after cooking and cleaning all day?

His actions show a shocking disregard for you. This is not ok.

Wow.

What a pampered little prince.

More fool you for putting up with that, I couldn't be with someone who had such little respect for me.

CouthyMow · 09/02/2014 23:16

OP, that 'explanation' just makes it WORSE, and shows him to be AN EVEN BIGGER BELL END.

He was tired from EATING a roast dinner?! What about you being tired from MAKING THE FUCKING ROAST DINNER.

What an entitled TWATBAG.

I very rarely say this, but seriously, LTB.

He shows utter contempt for you, and NOBODY deserves to be treated with as little respect as you have been today. He doesn't give two shiny shits how YOU feel, or what YOU want, as long as HE can do what he wants, AND make you do whatever he decides you should do.

What a FUCKHEAD.

I'm angry on your behalf, OP, please don't put up with this twatbadger any longer. Find the bin bags (and your self respect too), and post him and his belongings through he door and lock it behind him!

CouthyMow · 09/02/2014 23:17

And no, YANBU!!!

CumberCookie · 09/02/2014 23:18

How old is he? 12?!! What a plonker. Hope he's sleeping on the couch!

AdoraBell · 10/02/2014 00:37

Sorry OP I missed the fact that you are not allowed to sleep in your own bed.

You need to make that your own bed in the house that he no longer lives in.

Topaz25 · 10/02/2014 01:22

It doesn't sound like he is very sorry, just justifying his actions. He was too tired from eating the meal you made to cook for his friend?! He was angry at you because he messed up?! Don't put up with this.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 10/02/2014 01:27

Oh God, just what everybody else said.

I hope you are nestled all snug in YOUR bed right now OP and the wanker is on the couch.

Inertia · 10/02/2014 06:58

Oh dear.

Your problems are way way bigger than a husband who cannot tell the time. The level of contempt and utter disrespect he has shown you is shocking.

Fairy1303 · 10/02/2014 07:17

OP here's what I used to do.

Post a thread about something DH did that I found annoying but not horrendous.

Would get replies (rightly) telling me how shit it was and to LTB.

I would come back with DHs retort, usually a bit embellished to make me look less of a mug.

I have now LTB. My life is 100x better now.

He was emotionally abusive, angry, lazy. So so lazy. I can't believe what I put up with.

Apologies if I'm barking up the wrong tree. But I can see me in your post.

Misspixietrix · 10/02/2014 08:51

He was embarrassed for the cockup of his timings an. He took it out on me . . OP would he have 'took it out' on his friend? No because he knows he'd have been twatted one by his friend if he tried it. Would you let someone in the street talk to you like that? No. Then why are you letting the man you married chose to spend the rest of your life with treat you like that. He's only sorry until the next time OP.
