DP gave me back a load of cake tins that he had in his workshop the other day and today I decided to make him a cake.
He came to collect it and said FFS you haven't bothered washing out the cake tin then?
Took the cake stormed off then sent me a message to say don't bother coming over to his tonight and he will sort him and his DC out himself for tea.

Rang him and he ranted down the phone at me saying it was completely unacceptable to give him a cake in a tin that hadn't been washed out thoroughly and that not to make him any more cakes in the future and quite frankly I can shove this cake up my arse because he doesn't want it and how dare I just shrug off the fact that I hadn't washed it out then put the phone down on me...

Bit of a back story so not to drip:
DP is a farmer - I have only ever seen him clean in the morning or late at night after a shower/bath as all through the day he is either covered in grease/mud/handling animals all day etc
His shed is just as bad where he fixes his tractors and things and he will eat his food without washing his hands - I made a deal out of it when we first met telling him it was really unhygienic but he made a big song and dance about how he would be washing his hands 100 times a day and he's never died from eating with dirty hands etc etc and in the 5 years we've been together he's never been any different - his jeep is a mess and filthy dirty inside and he just doesn't seem to worry too much about it all as he's always so busy.

The cake tins he brought back were not dirty inside at all, the outsides were a bit dusty but not the insides - yes ok I should have washed them out inside and if he weren't taking them back to the farm I would have but I just thought well he doesn't care and really didn't think he would make this much of a big deal out of it.

So I'm sat here feeling sorry for myself, especially as I was told to shove it up my arse. I did apologise for not washing it but that's not good enough.

He's really stressed out at the moment and I have an ongoing illness that's being investigated which means I'm in pain all day, everyday and we can't and haven't been intimate for 6 months now which doesn't help.

I really want some Cake now

Bluntness100 · 17/03/2017 17:37

And yes we don't live together but I cook for him and his DC every night but apparently my services are not required tonight!

IamFriedSpam · 17/03/2017 17:40

He sounds absolutely mental, I can't really imagine acting like that even on a bad day. Is he exceptionally tired or stressed?

ChicRock · 17/03/2017 17:40

You again?

You're not even a housekeeper as PP's have suggested... at least if you were you'd be getting paid.

This man and his offspring treat you like something he's scraped off his shoe, yet you keep lapping it up.

What the hell is wrong with you?

mickeysminnie · 17/03/2017 17:42

Are you the poster that went over to her boyfriends farm every evening to feed the animals etc. And he treated you like dirt?

GoodnightSeattle · 17/03/2017 17:50

I'm so glad he didn't let the disgusting filth covering the tin stop him from taking and (presumably) eating the cake Hmm can't be that big a deal eh.

DelphiniumBlue · 17/03/2017 17:52

Hang on, he had a go because the tin was dirty, was horribly rude, but still took the cake? Presumably in the "dirty" tin? So not so awful he couldn't eat it then...
Why are you servicing this bully?

DelphiniumBlue · 17/03/2017 17:53

And am wondering if he pays you to bake cake, cook tea etc, or even for the ingredients? Hope you are getting something out of this relationship, it seems pretty one-sided from what you've said.

Willow2017 · 17/03/2017 17:56

What the hell do you get out of this relationship? He is royally taking the piss. The inside wasnt dirty really it wouldn't have killed him if eating sandwiches with manure covered hands hasn't done so. What a selfish git kick him into touch and find someone who values you as you not his personal servant.

LoveDeathPrizes · 17/03/2017 17:58

Twat. I'd eat a cake out of the bin.

Miniwookie · 17/03/2017 18:13

Tell him to shove it up his own arse. Jesus, what a dick.

Wanderingbluebell · 17/03/2017 18:33

That's really horrible. It made me think of an ex who gave me a bollocking for a very minor 'offence'. I was very stressed with other stuff at the time so let it go but I was very upset by it. Relationship lasted only a few months and in hindsight I cannot understand why I didn't run immediately. Awful and far from loving behaviour.

Naicehamshop · 17/03/2017 20:13

OP - pick your self-respect up off the floor and tell this horrible man to fuck off!!

AshesandDust · 18/03/2017 07:47

I can only think there is a dearth of decent men in the sticks
where you live, OP
Seriously, have you considered moving to a town or even a city
where there's more available choice, not only of partners, but
people to widen your circle and gain more confidence?
