To feel resentful towards my husband? *title amended by MNHQ*

Current reasons:
He’s breathing.

He’s spent the entire afternoon upstairs in bed while I tried to work and entertain kids.

He stayed in our room while kids shouted at me from the shower to get the shampoo out for them while I was downstairs. The bathroom is next to our room.

He went out for a pint at 3pm yesterday and came home at gone midnight.

He’s put some shit on the tv and is now asleep on the sofa.

Tongue in cheek, he has his uses, but he is REALLY grating on me tonight. AIBU?

Why on earth did he stay in bed all afternoon and is asleep again - does he have narcolepsy or is he a lazy selfish arsehole?

HolyMountain · 10/06/2018 22:11

Is he often a useless tit?

MyNameIsNotSteven · 10/06/2018 22:12

So what are his uses?

“I want to punch my wife in the face”

Doesn’t sound so funny does it.

Rednaxela · 10/06/2018 22:16

Did you tell him to get up and pull his weight at any point?

If not, why not? Are you afraid of him? Or, are you a victim of believing you shouldn't have to ask? Hint. That belief has consequences for the person holding it..

Why did you marry a caveman?

Stripybeachbag · 10/06/2018 22:19

This reminds of a time I went to a 4-year-òld's party with dd. There was a dad there with his daughter who is one of 4. He admitted that he was really hungover. Me and dh were laughing afterwards that having to take his daughter to the party (10 am start) was his punishment! You have been very lenient OP.

Some of the replies here are comedy gold.

He went out. Had a few too many. Spent a day in bed.

Ffs give the bloke a break. If he does it three times a week then give him what for but as a one off just stop being so uptight.

Samb79 · 10/06/2018 22:25

No, not afraid of him, just apathetic and passive aggressive, I really couldn’t be arsed to have an argument so I just ignored him. I figured I’d leave him to it today. Today he is a caveman, and probably hungover I expect.
He does sleep rather a lot though.... spends most nights asleep on the sofa from about 8 then comes up to bed about midnight.

He does have many uses of course, he does almost all of the cooking and all the decorating/house fixing jobs, great with the kids usually.

And the subject was in jest, although yes if genders were reversed it’d be a completely different post indeed. I apologise.

I'm afraid I'm with Dylan on this one.
If op were a bloke saying Aibu to want to punch my wife. He'd be hauled over the coals. Wether it was light hearted or not

siwel123 · 10/06/2018 22:31

Agreed YABU for saying want to punch him but I can see why you're annoyed Grin.

If it is a one off maybe have stiff words with him and say OI don't get so drunk and hungover as it was tough for me today but don't have a full blow out if it's a one off

LineRunners · 10/06/2018 23:11

Is your question not, 'AIBU to wonder what the point of being in this shit relationship is?'?

Scabetty · 10/06/2018 23:18

Mine has worked 8 days solid so chilled out watching some nerdy science series all day long. Got up from sofa to eat and visit the toilet. Has irked me even though he works long hours. I sympathise Smile

siwel123 · 10/06/2018 23:37

Well no it isn't about why is she in a shit relationship.

Seems as she says he is hard working, does all cooking, great with kids.
He had a rough night and spent the day hungover, which is bad but doesn't warrant being called a caveman etc.

Hi Samb79,
Just to say that we have amended your title. We're not keen on titles referencing domestic violence, even in jest (which we appreciate was where you were coming from.) No harm done, though.
