My DH has been golfing all day while I did chores the worked 10 hrs in a hot busy kitchen.My boss told me to go at 830 which is great as usually I get home 1130 exhausted.Dh would be home by then and we could have a drink in the garden as im working all bank hols.Turns out he went into town with the lads sounded drunk on the phone.Nothing wrong with this but having trapped a nerve in his back and been in a foul mood for weeks I am amazed he has walked about all day!!
Also being too tired to go anywhere with me and letting me sleep downstairs for 12 yrs (bad snoring) and makes smug faces with his hands behind his head when I point out I would like to sleep in a bed and he could at least take turns when im ill or now I am pretty much fulltime .

I wanted this sorted before Df passes away as he is terminally ill and don't see why I should sleep downstairs without a bed while I would be grieving

.So here I am cosy and bathed being the superior one.Of course with his bad back he will suffer but maybe just maybe he will know how I feel curled up on my makeshift bed.I have locked the door and look forward to a comfy sleep before work again night night xx[grin

this made me sad, you have many more years of life left and could be with someone who loves and respects youFlowers you deserve a big hug too. Good luck with DF today

You need DH to sort his shit out, sorry to hear you have so much going on and sending hugs. But suggest getting rid or giving DH am ultimatum will actually lift a weight xx

I'm really sorry to hear your story.

I can understand you not wanting to upset things while you are dealing with your parents illness, but something really needs to change.

Is there space in either of the kids bedroom for another single? And you can sleep in there nights where your husband is keeping you awake?

Or could the kids share the biggest bedroom, with some sort of divider in the middle, and you each have one of the kids rooms?

He NEEDS to do something to change these things. You need a decent bed to get a decent nights sleep to help you deal with all the things going on in your life.

Thanks

thanks for the support i appreciate it.I guess things havent been good for many yrs and we have juggled our jobs and provided the dcs with security and got the mortgage paid off.People where i work moan about how hard our job is and some have quit as the boss expects alot.However my job gives me something to look forward to!A reason go on and get dressed nicely (i have a uniform when im there),Sometimes i think i expect too much but DH is only just sorting out his hearing as we cant watch tv in the lounge after yrs.I am so used to this life on my own i cannot imagine someone being supportive or affectionate.Most of dhs problems are weight related heart attack bad snoring bad back and he refuses to lose weight eventhough his own mum died when he was 16 and history could repeat itself with our dcs :(

you don't expect too much

you expect too little

you have 1 life, and this is it.

He doesn't let you sleep on the sofa, he makes you sleep on the sofa.
He needs to sort out his health. If he has had a heart attack and has a weight problem what is he doing drinking to excess all the time?
His weight is most likely a factor in his snoring.

Good for you. Enjoy your sleep.

pinkyredrose · 25/05/2015 17:45

Sorry OP but you saying that you kept the peace for the children really translates as them seeing their father treating their mother like shot for yrs and their mother just quietly putting up with It. Do you really think that's a healthy relationship model for them to witness? And part from that don't you think you're worth more?

He's no longer the man you married. The sooner you accept that the sooner you can get on with your life and work towards being happy.

pinkyredrose · 25/05/2015 17:45

Like shit I meant to say obs!

whatisforteamum · 27/05/2015 15:01
