to be annoyed with DP for saying I love you too much?

Every single time I catch DPs eye he tells me he loves me and/or kisses me. Every single text message he declares his love. In person, if I don't reciprocate he says 'I do...I do...' repeatedly until I say it or - more usually - change the subject. The most annoying one is in the morning. He leaves for work an hour before the dc and I need to get up. He can't help himself and always has to whisper I love you before leaving. This 9/10 times wakes the baby. Am I being a heartless cow for wishing he'd stop or am I right to be annoyed?

She knows you didn't say any of those things, MenOpposal, but it suits her argument to attest that you did. Because there is no other valid point of view here than hers and that of her friend.

But that is the modus operandi of some long-timers on Mumsnet - especially those highly regarded by other posters; it is as if they fume at the notion of their kudos being tarnished by someone else - especially a man! - making a useful contribution when it opposes theirs.

That's what you suggested. Repeatedly. From the guy who you decided simply can't read 'non verbal cues' to the mocking pantomime villain on the train crap.

Still, its good you admit that making your wife feel suffocated, ignoring your kids, and deserting your 9 year old is not the behaviour of your regular nice guy.

So it looks like we do agree on that after all. Grin

It's odd that you think he'll stop being a twat if the 'young mum' (not sure where you got that from?!!) tries to have a 'mature', calm and adult to adult conversation with him (because she has never done that before?!!) but hey... small steps.

Now, why don't you show me where I said he is abusive and show me my LTB agenda? Or am I going to have to teach you to separate facts from the convenient stories you have in your head?

ThoughtfulBird · 20/11/2015 18:20

We don't know if she has had that kind of conversation with him. And why do you keep bringing 9 yr-olds into it? And abandonment?

Bravo for the derailing and thread takeover slow hand clap

OP I don't have any advice that hasn't been given already but wanted to offer support.

LittleBearPad · 20/11/2015 18:55

. ..and no, it isn't up to me to go and seek out her other threads. I don't have the time, quite frankly.

If you had read the other thread you'd know about his eldest child (nine years old) who he hasn't seen for six months after she didn't do exactly as he wanted and he threw his toys out his pram.

'Bravo for derailing' and what...? It's difficult not to take over the thread when the OP fecks off never to return.

...and I have done an Advanced Search of the OPs name from the start of this year and the only other thread is concerning her 4 yr-old dd and an uncooperative teacher.

Can someone tell me where to find the other thread? Don't feel I'm fully up to speed without reading it...

Men I was pml at the jazz hands in the mirror. But then I saw your last post. Be honest now...have you logged on this morning just to goad AnyFucker into a sparring match?
