DP judging everyone by his own impossibly high standards

I’ve had enough of my DPs general attitude towards other people. He is constantly judging others based on his own standards and to be honest I’m starting to question if he’s even a good person

Some examples

  1. If the house isn’t impossibly clutter free he acts like I’m disgustingly unclean (I’m not!)
  2. He has a hobby, let’s say cycling as to not be too outing. He can cycle a certain event in say an hour which is a very very good time. The average person would be happy to achieve the same event in say 1.30-1.45 and be very pleased. Someone posted on FB that they did it in 1.48 (huge achievement) and he said it was embarrassing and they should have done better!!
  3. Told me I’m not achieving anything as my priority is raising our children not earning as much money as possible - I’m sorry but raising well rounded happy children is a massive achievement in my book!
  4. Said that I don’t take any responsibility for things because he asked me to call the house insurance about something which I did but he hadn’t fully informed me of what I was actually asking so missed something off. Said I should be an adult take responsibility and find out. My argument was that I cannot read his mind and therefore cannot be expected to ask all questions he wanted if he hadn’t told me!

I think it’s appalling to be honest. Have your own high standards fine but don’t make others feel like s* when their achievements are different to your own!
AIBU???

Does he have any friends?

Think about his other relationships with people.

Please tell this cunt to go fuck himself.

Life alone with a baby won’t be any more difficult than the life you will both have with him. He’ll be a shit father.

What do I tell them now? We’re not moving as he is trying to blackmail me into paying for a cleaner I can’t afford because of his obsessive desire for a clutter free house?

Yes, and that you’re leaving him. I’m sure they’ll get it. To answer your ohter question , yes he does want you stuck at home with no money to go anywhere or do anything m.
