My bf always asks me to wash his work clothes at ridiculous hours. The other night it was 12am I

I'd snap him up.

If it was 1815 and menfolk were in short supply and I'd had a knock on the head.

PHANTOMnamechanger · 17/06/2015 14:53

oooh Bair that's clever!

AoifeBell · 17/06/2015 14:53

That's very true Captain when you put it like that.

In what other ways can he be amazing? He doesn't seem to have any respect for you OP?

HellonHeels · 17/06/2015 14:57

Good god what a wanker he sounds. can you see yourself living like this in 10 or 20 years' time?

See it is the word "anymore" we are having problems with, why in the first place, but well done.

BitOutOfPractice · 17/06/2015 14:58

" it's just this lazy-your-the-woman-you-cook-and-clean shit that's pissing me off"

Just? Just?

There's no JUST about it!

He sounds like a lazy arsed pig with anger issues!

AoifeBell · 17/06/2015 14:59

He does sound sexist actually now that you've said it. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was other than him being a lazy cunt. I have a DD he's not her dad but she's normally in bed when he comes round.

His excuse for wanting me to do things is because he's been at work all day! I tore him a new one for suggesting I done fuck all all day with a 19 month old baby.

Oh for goodness sakes, don't go to the feminist board, you'll be eaten alive.

If you don't live together, it's fair enough for you to host him a bit, presuming it's the same when you're at his and you spend an equal amount of time together.

If you live together, it's just all wrong.

Regardless, I wouldn't fancy being spoken to like that or ever having WW3.

FWIW, DH and I have a split that we're happy with. This consists of DH doing food shopping, cooking and cleaning of the kitchen. I do everything else cleaning wise, organisation, bill paying etc. DC stuff is fairly equally split. The biggest thing is that we're generally nice to each other. Simple really.

MitzyLeFrouf · 17/06/2015 15:04

Do you usually take his shoes off for him? That's the sort of diva behaviour I'd have thought only the likes of Kim Jong-il would carry on with.

WorraLiberty · 17/06/2015 15:11

He sounds like a small, lazy little boy to be honest.

Is this the same guy who you asked if he'd move abroad with you and your DD, but he didn't want to?

I really don't think he's the best example for your DD... and that btw is an understatement.

AoifeBell · 17/06/2015 15:11

Yeah if I'm up and about not if I'm sitting down. But I undo all his laces which pisses him. Childish I know but it makes me feel a bit better.

He's not angry he's usually very calm he just doesn't like doing stuff for himself

AoifeBell · 17/06/2015 15:12

Yes worra. This is fairly new behaviour though to be honest so that's my defence Grin

JinglyJanglyJungleBigGameTours · 17/06/2015 15:18

Would you accept a friend or colleague treating you like this? I'm guessing not, so surely it's even more unacceptable when it's someone who's supposed to love you and care for you?

Or would you be happy with someone treating your DC like this?

fuzzywuzzy · 17/06/2015 15:20

You take his shoes off??? Shock

In what ways pray tell is he so wonderful?

How long have you been going out?

Does he have a 24kt gold dick? What is it that you're so drawn to about him? Apart from the opportunity to pray drudge to his lord and master..

MaximumVolume · 17/06/2015 15:23

I can't get over the shoe thing! I had to have assistance with my winter boots at 40+ weeks pregnant and I felt like I was taking the piss!

MrsKoala · 17/06/2015 15:25

oh dear

I've gone on strike!
Radiatorvalves · 17/06/2015 15:26

I was embarrassed that I needed help with my shoes after a hip replacement!

This is not normal behaviour.

AoifeBell · 17/06/2015 15:27

I know. He's a lazy cunt!

OP posts:
Radiatorvalves · 17/06/2015 15:28

and my sons (8&10) are capable of taking their shoes off...

ifyourehoppyandyouknowit · 17/06/2015 15:28

Show. Him. The. Door.

Seriously, what the actual fuck?!

He wanted you to take his shoes off for him? I'm gobsmacked.

fuzzywuzzy · 17/06/2015 15:29

So Aoife, why are you with this 'Lazycunt'?

PHANTOMnamechanger · 17/06/2015 15:39

you actually take his shoes off? oh my goodness!!! Shock

can he wipe his own arse??

unless medical reasons I would just laugh at anyone who asked me to take their shoes off, you are not his servant!

how old are you both?

and you don't even live together in the UK, but you have contemplated moving abroad with him.

Why would you do that? why saddle yourself with this lazy selfish pig 24/7??

AoifeBell · 17/06/2015 15:46

I get everyday is a bit much but have none of you Ever taken your dp/h shoes off?
