In my front garden there is a manhole cover, it looks like it is something to do with a telephone provider, I assume it is a service hatch for the street, no other house has one.
Over time, the cover has become loose and now moves away, is very heavy and the hole beneath is a foot or so deep.
It has rain water in now, a few inches, and what look like electric/phone cables. I want to call the provider to come and maintain it properly, my DF says I'm 'just like my mother' and that he'll 'scoop the water out with a shovel' and that I'm paranoid and need to stop stressing out.
I say I don't want him rooting about in a flooded electrical supply box with a shovel...
I have recently been diagnosed with BPD which has shook my world and made me question every reaction I've ever had to anything. Am I overreacting by wanting it to be properly dealt with? My Mum HAS had a long history of poor mental health, OCD and anxieties.
His criticism hurts, I've tried very hard not to be like that, I'm acutely aware of those behaviours.
Here are the pics, am I overreacting??
