I feel like I'm playing mother to my DH. Every little funking thinking I have to tell him. He's away on the other side of the world to see his family, and I have to wait an a good 10 for him to reply to any of my msgs, Only because he's so busy talking to his business partners and every other Tom dick and Harry on whatsapp. by the time he calls, he's always saying he's tired. Like for ffs don't bloody call then and pee me off telling me how tired you are. He complains he's so busy shopping for me (which he isn't really. He goes shopping to get his own stuff and coz his mother drags him with her everywhere). He doesn't spend 12 hours shopping and not have time to communicate when get goes home. He goes out every night till 1am with his mum to family, goes Home calls and tells me how tired he is. Like go home early, don't sit there like a lemon when ur tired and then complain to me on the fone how tired u r.

His life is so hectic that he can't accommodate us in his busy holiday...he can't excuse himself from his bother, mother or father to call his own wife n children. He makes me feel like him his gf that he's hiding and not his wife.

Sorry, you have to wait a good ten what? Minutes?

Lilmis · 16/02/2018 00:31

Yeah doesn't sound much but when he has limited access to the Internet, it all counts.

And when I say limited he is only every on for mayb 30 mins a day, but spends most of it chatting to God knows who rather finding out how his family is.

Jaysus what a bastard so he is, gining his attention to the family he's traveled across the world to spend time with Confused

How long is he away for and how long is it since he saw his family?

funkyfunky · 16/02/2018 00:33

How long is this holiday? If it's a week then YABU to demand constant contact, let him enjoy himself. If he's away for a long time then I can kind of understand...

WorraLiberty · 16/02/2018 00:38

Oh I remember you OP

You, your DH, your MIL etc have many deep seated issues/problems.

I'm not sure what to say really, other than I hope he'll be home soon and you can untangle the web, to try and sort it all out.

TanteRose · 16/02/2018 00:40

God, leave him be!
If my DH was trying to contact me constantly when I was on the other side of the world visiting friends and family that I haven't seen for a few years, if I'd be well pissed off

Sorry YABU

TanteRose · 16/02/2018 00:41

Oh there's a back story?
Meh...

Lilmis · 16/02/2018 00:44

Most of the issues r his fault as he is not man enough to deal with them.

You sound like hard work.

BrutusMcDogface · 17/02/2018 08:16

I can't see the problem, tbh....I was well up for a manchild thread but can't see how this makes him one.
