to think that if someone volunteers to do somethng.. they do it without having a tantrum halfway thru and making bitchy comments at me?

I got new wardrobes, been waiting 6 months for them to arrive and then arranged for someone to come and assemble them today.. he didn't turn up So I'm upset and pissed off because my clothes have been in bags and boxes for ages and it's disheartening and hard to find anything.

OH then says he'll put them up I says you don't need to, I'll find someone else cos I know what he's like but he was insistent soo.. he starts doing it. He has a selection of screwdrivers etc but now because he's bored with it, he's getting ratty and being extremely nasty to me and complaining that the screwdrivers are no good etc etc etc. I had offered to help but since being declined I kept out of the way so he's coming to my office to rant at me intermittently.

I didn't ask him to do it, he offered and now he's making it seem like he does everything in the house and I do nothing, which is completely untrue, I employ tradesmen to do everything cos I know what OH is like.

so.. am I being unreasonable in being pissed off with him about his shitty attitude?

MEN! My DH is hte same. If a household job goes wrong, he starts ranting at me. When I was 8 months pg with DD, we started to assemble her cot - I ended up hissing at him to "fuckoffandletmegetonwithit" and did it in 20 minutes!

I feel like chucking him out the window to be honest, when he gets nasty like this it makes me question our whole relationship.

He never does anything in the house, is totally unreliable if I ask him to get anything, for example, he borrowed my overnight bag a few months ago and left it at his parents house, I've twice asked him to bring it back with him when he visits and each time he forgets, so now I have to go out and buy another bloody bag cos he can't be arsed. I asked him to help me find a suitable pda or blackberry, not pay for it, just find one that would be appropriate for my needs.. has he bothered, has he fukk, but he bought one for himself!

He painted the bathroom last summer, except he didn't do the edges or the ceiling and it's peeling off because he didn't prep the walls, I can't finish it off cos he threw out the leftover paint so it means starting againa nd I just havent had the time.

and then he has the nerve to claim he does everything in the house and everyone else is lazy

I know what you mean, I spose it's because every other relationship I've had has been with a man who's good at all that manly stuff and this one isn't, so it's a bit of a contrast.

When I was single I would attempt to do things by myself but this wardrobe is just too big, I'm not even 5ft tall and I know I'd never have managed it myself, I can do the bedside tables and chest of drawers tho .

It's just so annoyng because I didn't and wouldn't ask him to do it cos I know it's not his thing, but he insisted and now he's being a bitch about it.
