DH is an unsupportive knob

This is lighthearted - sort of.

Decided a few weeks ago after Christmas that I needed to make some changes in my life as I was feeling unhealthy and have been drinking way too much.

Slowy got into a habit (over 20 yrs) of drinking every day and it has become more rare to have a day off than not.

Been promising myself I would cut down for the last few years but making excuses not to.

So since Christmas I have managed to actually stick to only drinking on Fridays and Saturdays. I feel good, I feel in control, I already feel healthier and I am losing weight. Something in my head has shifted and changed and I am happy with that right now.

DH works away all week and we have fallen out over text over him spending some money out of the joint account we had not agreed. I got a bit arsey about it and the first thing he says he “oh so I see you are back on the booze” Hmm.

Before hand it would be “oh you’ve had a drink” whenever I disagreed with him (I do not have form for being an arsey twat even if I have had a drink).

AIBU to think hes a knob.

He's a knob.
Oh and well done by the way! You might want to lose another 11 or so if he keeps on with that attitude....!

And I resisted the open bottle of vodka and the bottle of Prosecco in the fridge Grin

Deflection to get what he wants. Split finances or just split spending money evenly and then let the other person do what ever they want with it and no complaining when it's run out.

We do split spending money - but he paid for something out of the joint account for himself.

It's basically the same as the thoroughly infuriating "you must be on your period" - writing off any legitimate complaints by insisting you're being irrational. Dick.

Start asking him every time he's a dick whether that burning sensation is bothering him again - that must be why he's being so touchy. Hmm

An ex used to tell me off when I complained about his binge drinking by saying, 'it's that new contraceptive you're on'

Least today is a drinking day 👍🏻
