Boyfriend went fishing

Last night my boyfriend went fishing with his brothers at about 6pm he said he'd be back at 7am to get our daughter ready for nursery and he didn't come back. I had to stay in and not go out because we only have one key and he didn't come back. I rang him and he said he'd be back for 12 as he's only just woke up. This was at 9:30 and I had to go out by 10:30. I went out and made sure that I was back in time for 12 when he would be back & he didn't come back!! I rang again and he said he'd be back for 3pm now and he can't be bothered to walk so he is waiting for his brother to leave to give him a lift. It is a 15 minute walk btw. Our daughter had someone coming round to see her as an appointment for 4 and I had to tidy the whole house from top to bottom of his crap that he's not cleaned up then he still doesn't come back and misses the appointment. He still isn't back now and it's 5pm! I wouldn't mind so much but he does nothing, he doesn't work or anything he sits in the house all day on his PS4 and I have to come back everyday after being out and tidy up because he won't. I pay for everything for him and I picked up some food for him and bought him some bits today. Just feel as though he's taking me for a mug!!! So I hid his PS4 and games😂😂 fuming right now😡

Yes, exactly.

Mrskeats · 26/04/2017 17:48

You hid his games? Are you both in year 11?
I wouldn't put up with this kind of stuff for a minute

Goingtobeawesome · 26/04/2017 18:39

What do you want from this thread, OP?

This is no relationship. You pay for everything. Do all the child care. He just gives you physical stuff I guess.

BollardDodger · 26/04/2017 18:41

Get another key cut. Problem solved.

BollardDodger · 26/04/2017 18:43

I had the key not him
So you could have gone out, then? Why didn't you?

BollardDodger · 26/04/2017 18:44

Perhaps you need to go fishing. On Plenty of Fish.

EdmundCleverClogs · 26/04/2017 18:47

To be honest, you both sound about 12 Hmm. Instead of either asking him why he can't behave like an adult or kicking him out, you hid his things, really?

RortyCrankle · 26/04/2017 18:49

So neither of you work, you have two children, you only have one key to the front door, he goes off not returning when he should, he does nothing in house or childcare and you hide his video game. I would have ripped the lead out of his PS4 and he would have come home to find splintered pieces of PS4 scattered in the front garden.

How long do you intend putting up with it?

Fairenuff · 26/04/2017 18:52

What's your AIBU?

loaferloveforyou · 26/04/2017 18:56

Why only one key?Hmm

kali110 · 26/04/2017 19:45

TBH given that he fishes for a hobby I'd have thought that good enough reason on its own not to be with him.
Wtf Hmm

Why are you with him? What exactly does he do for you? He sounds like another child!

Honeybee79 · 26/04/2017 19:51

Seriously?!

Erm.

You both sound bonkers.

Crowdblundering · 26/04/2017 19:52

Where was he fishing? POF?

EdmundCleverClogs · 26/04/2017 21:29

Did you manage to reel him in yet, OP? Though he doesn't sound much of a catch, I hope he cod on that you weren't happy with his behaviour. If not, well there's plenty more fish in the sea.

ThePinkOcelot · 26/04/2017 21:49

If this is true, why are you putting up with this shit?!

PickAChew · 26/04/2017 21:53

He is a disrespectful manchild. Tell him to go sling his hook.

EdmundCleverClogs · 26/04/2017 21:59

I never do this usually as it's not the done thing I know. However, if he is so darn useless op, why on earth are you trying for another child with him? Genuine advice, I seriously suggest you put off ttc until you've sorted your lives out and matured a bit.

ThisAintALoveSong · 26/04/2017 22:04

EdmundCleverClogs - have I misread this? Where did op say she was trying for another child?

OP this situation is crazy!

Ferrisday · 26/04/2017 22:04

Key under the mat?
You not being able to go out is ridiculous, of course you can go out if you have things to do. His problem

Anyway none of that matters, you need to leave him

skerrywind · 26/04/2017 22:07

Crazy thread.

OP how old are you? You sound very immature.

AnyFucker · 26/04/2017 22:09

I think you might have over egged it

AnathemaPulsifer · 26/04/2017 22:12

Bonkers. Stop paying for everything, and kick him out to live with his brothers!

GriefLeavesItsMark · 26/04/2017 22:20

It sounds like you've haddock nuff of him. It's time he got his own plaice

BarbarianMum · 26/04/2017 22:25

Stop running round after him! If he's not back and you need to go out, go out. He can sit on the mat and wait. Or better yet, get rid of the parasitic turf.
