Insufferably selfish things your OH does...

[Munchkingoat]

Whenever my exh used to pick up a Chinese takeaway he would eat ALL the prawn crackers on the way home from picking it up. This used to drive me insane as I could never fathom how anyone could do so selfish when he knew I loved them and he would NEVER get two lots no matter how often I asked. Utter nob.

I was thinking about this whilst driving home yesterday and it still gives me the rage 12 years after divorcing him!

Why would you lie about that?

Because he's a selfish fucker who was trying to gaslight you so that you'd feel guilty and not leave him looking after the baby again.

My ex would have cereal on a night before bed then again in the morning and leave me not a drop of milk for a coffee for when I woke up. I hated that. It's the lowest form of selfishness.
My now partner however, will go to the shop on a morning if the milk is low before I've even woken up and I've never once asked him to do that. He's a keeper.

This is exactly why I don't have a OH!

This is exactly why I married someone who's not selfish!

My ex would also take the bag from the staff at the mcds drive through and before even paying would open it and start working his way through the fries. I used to cringe in embarrassment when the other cars behind used to beep us to hurry up.
He would then pay, pull forward slightly and get his hand back in the bag to carry on with his fries, meaning all the cars behind got jammed until he was done. I hated that bastard.

Falls asleep on sofa when I'm trying to have a conversation with him.

Maybe he was trying to encourage you into the wonderful world of black coffee?

BTW can I ask where you're from? I've never heard people say "on a night" and "on a morning" before!

@BruegelTheEIder I'm from Yorkshire. We have a funny way of speaking here! 🤣

@theexamstartsnow you need to leave that little shit, he sounds vile. Also he really doesn't like you.

and it still gives me the rage 12 years after divorcing him!

At what point do you intend to let this be or do you enjoy upsetting yourself about old trivia?

Not making me a squash for bed when he makes himself one, even though I would make a WHOLE dinner for him. Squash and water is too much effort.

My DH never puts petrol in the car or tells me that the light came on while he was driving. So I get into the car to do the school run and have the hassle of getting petrol on the way and being late. It's just so inconsiderate. And he never ever thanks me for the dinners I make and serve to him 365 days a year.

You drink squash in bed??

@theexamstartsnow what did he say to that?

Most selfish thing DH has done is to get cross I asked him to put tens machine on me in the early stages of labour when he was getting ready to leave the house (I told him to go out, he wasn't that thoughtless). Apparently I was making him late. I wanted it on as I told him to go out for a while and didn't know if I would need it before he got back.

DP is brilliant but he puts empty cereal boxes back in the cupboard. That's a mixture of selfishness and stupidity.

And he's crap at recycling, which I think is selfish.

Similarly to a lot of posters here. Would put himself a wine/coffee/juice etc without offering even though Ive just made dinner. Or even worse would make himself dinner (beans on toast or similar) if put dd is having a hard time going to sleep so I'm up there longer than usual. Again without offering any to me.

At what point do you intend to let this be or do you enjoy upsetting yourself about old trivia?
Ah bollox to that.
It's this kind of shit that reminds us of why they are Ex's and how much better off we are now!

Leaves and stays out overnight without warning leaving me to deal with house, kids, pets, everything. MIL does a nice free BnB for him at the drop of a hat

Takes a shit and;
Doesnt open the window
Doesnt turn on the extracter fan for a few mins
Doesnt spray air freshner
Doesnt close the toilet lid
Doesnt close the door
He could do any 1 of them but no...

The whole upstairs hallway will smell like shit. And now its winter, its worse as the bathroom heater will be full blast so its just hot poo-topia when you get near the bathroom.

There is not enough room on the internet for me to write about my stbxhs selfish ways. There are so, so many....sleeping in my bed in the maternity ward. Take that for starters.

DP is very selfish when I’m unwell.
Recently I was off work for a few days with flu/chest infection/ear infection. I left work at 12 and he asked me to do an online shop as we ‘had NOTHING in’ (aka nothing instant he can put in the freezer when I was too ill to cook). Rang DP at 5 asking him to pick it up (needed collecting before 6) and he just said no he’s too busy. Fine. I’ll get out of bed, slightly drugged on cold/flu tablets, having been awake since 3am and to work but ok I’ll go. He then rang while I was on the way saying he’ll come and get me then we can get it. Told him to not bother as I was already out. Got in to him laid on the sofa with a cup of tea, I’d walked in looking/feeling/sounding like shit and he left me to put the shopping away. When I asked for help he said he’d had a long day

He kind of made up for it by bringing me flowers and doughnuts the next day when he got in from work, I’ll remember it next time he has ‘man flu’!

Also reminds me, I went into hospital last year with a burst cyst on my ovary (tmi sorry). It happened about 8pm severe pain but didn’t think it was serious so left it, about 11pm I was in agony and crying, woke him up and said I’m going to have to go to a&e - his words ‘Id come with you but I’m so tired’ so I get out have to move his van as he was blocking me in, got my car out parked the van again, drove myself to a & e. Luckily didn’t need surgery like they thought but I got released about 6pm next evening. He never came to visit and didnt tell any of his family I was there (none of mine live nearby) so spent the whole time on my own. Bit of a prick really.

sorry that’s so long 😬

OMG. Why are some of you with these hideous ‘partners’?

This story is nearly 15 years old but it still gives me the rage.

I'd been out driving all day in a car with a broken heater in the middle of December. Like 12 hours, visiting clients etc.... the only thing keeping me going was the thought of a long, hot bath when I got in.

I got in, told (ex) DP I was going to run a bath and he went off on one, saying I'd already had a bath that week and was using too much water and our heating bill would be huge. So he hid the bath plug.

He.hid.the.bath.plug

Is that not the most breathtaking display of cuntish behaviour??!!!

Oh my God, those of you who are still with these wankers.... why?! I can’t think of anything my husband does on this kind of level. He’s not perfect but he’s not a selfish prick.

I'm absolutely stunned at what some of you put up with.

I'm almost as angry with you lot as I am with your selfish pricks of DH's.
