"D"H threatened to walk out and do his usual flounce off to the pub because I brought up the woman he had an affair with in a relevant conversation and he didn't like it. I got my shoes on first and walked to the pub. He frequently "goes for a pint" which lasts several hours and is inconvenient as I'm trapped at home with ds. I've left him looking after ds this time while I've had 3 double whiskies and I feel fucking great. Fuck that bastard.

Not unreasonable at all, he sounds like a dick.
Have one for me!

UpstartCrow · 03/03/2018 20:57

He can flounce at home instead Star

Yahdayah · 03/03/2018 20:58

And one for me too! Well done OP Wine

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 03/03/2018 20:58

Once you sober up you need a plan. This is no way to live.

GooseLose · 03/03/2018 20:58

Well done!

Alabama3 · 03/03/2018 20:59

well done you for going first, but you definitely need a plan...

does he have good points?

selftitledalbum · 03/03/2018 21:00

Why are you in this miserable relationship? You’re destroying your ds.

Namechangetempissue · 03/03/2018 21:01

Good for you, but I agree with PP -you need a plan going forward. He sounds a shit.

Howlongtillbedtime · 03/03/2018 21:02

Well done!

How do you feel now?

Apart from a bit pissed Wink

ohnomoresnow · 03/03/2018 21:03

No getting pissed when in charge of a child (alone.)

If you are still throwing an affair in his face, it's not gonna work is it?

LTB.

SallyDog · 03/03/2018 21:03

selftitledalbum how on earth can you make the assumption that OP is "destroying" her DS? Hmm

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 03/03/2018 21:04

(I’m not judging you for the whiskey, just judging the miserable marriage)

ConciseandNice · 03/03/2018 21:05

Good for you. I’ve disappeared for Starbucks for hours on end (less fun that the pub true!).

Bluntness100 · 03/03/2018 21:05

To be fair you don't sound like you're feeling great

In addition, No one should feel they are trapped with their child. You probably need to rethink continuing with this relationship when sober.

In the meantime chill at the pub, don't get too wankered, as that can lead to trouble and a big gob, and tomorrow try to think through how,to separate.

selftitledalbum · 03/03/2018 21:06

Shit parental relationships destroy children. Are you beyond comprehending that the situation is not acceptable for a child to be in @sallydog? Or are you a stay together for the kids kind of person?

Oooeeeerrrrrindeed · 03/03/2018 21:06

It's time to move on from tbis game playing exsistence to being able to enjoy life again.

SnowBusinessLikeSlowBusiness · 03/03/2018 21:06

No one should feel they are trapped with their child

Why? When you can't do other things that you would like to, you are literally trapped with your child. Nothing wrong with acknowledging that.

NauticalNavy · 03/03/2018 21:07

Yes👌🏼 YADNBU!!

TheInvisiblePieceofShit · 03/03/2018 21:07

Smart move! Im impressed!

It's not ideal but don;t make OP feel worse with your overblown suggestion that children are "destroyed". What does that even mean? It's bollocks and you should pipe down.

Bluntness100 · 03/03/2018 21:09

Snow, because they are in relationship where they regularly are unable to agree how to parent snd the person who doesn't get out the house first feels trapped. So I repeat no one should feel that. Why is that confusing to uou? Do you just wish to hijack someone's thRead to have a fight?

SallyDog · 03/03/2018 21:10

Nope, selftitledalbum I am not! However I don't believe that a stranger on the internet can read what the op wrote and then categorically state that her child is being destroyed. That is hysterical baloney.

selftitledalbum · 03/03/2018 21:10

@snow ‘not ideal’
Well done! Aren’t you a clever little girl?

SnowBusinessLikeSlowBusiness · 03/03/2018 21:12

So I repeat no one should feel that. Why is that confusing to uou?

Because you picked up on the wrong part entirely. Its the relationship that is the issue, not the sometimes feeling trapped with the child which is an entirely normal thing to feel.
