Dh been unemployed for 18 months. Finally today found out has got a 12 month contract, extremely well paid and is literally a godsend for our family. I have been working my nuts off full time to support us and today , DH asked me to finish on time (4pm) so we can celebrate . I am a nirse and its just not always possible to walk out the door on time . He has literally just phoned me from the pub down the road and had a go at me for finishing at 410pm and it was a test which i failed and i need to now prioritise him as he was the one who was going to be working super hard and my job is just not as important . I am so so angry . For background, he has been depressed this year and has hit the drink rather hard and he is now this week on a high understandbly . However , i cant just walk out when my colleagus need help . He never understands this . Sorry for typos , am cross . For the record we have had similar arguments about work ethic and team playing etc before . Someone chuck cold water on me please .
So AIBU to prioritise my patients and their care before leaving on time even tjough it upsets dh ?

My word, what an absolute twunt nugget.

And what the what, you don’t even see the money you earn?!?

Please get yourself and the kids away from him. (Maybe it’s worth getting on the council list for a property?)

Don’t be my mother. She stayed, we all suffered.

I've been in hospital for the last 5 days. I think 10 minutes was pretty good to be honest. I haven't seen any of them here leave when they're meant to.

I couldn't live with someone who spoke to me like that.

Hi OP, call Womens Aid, or google the service in your local area. They will not pressure you, but will go through all the things you have to think about and support you when you are ready to go.

The council may help, but they might not have anything immediately, and if they offer refuge it is often far from home (as a safeguard). They may also lend you a deposit for a private let. You need to be honest with them that you need to leave because of abuse.

Talk to friends/family. Ask someone you trust to post on social media asking about local private lets.

Do you have anyone that can be a guarantor?

Social media, gumtree and freecycle can all help you to furnish your home.

What is your status with the "parent company" - under what guise is he keeping your earnings? Seems far from legit to me - surrely he needs to show he is paying you? (I don't understand these things so forgive me if I being ignorant on that).

I hope it all works out for you.

I am so angry on your behalf.
How dare he think he is the king of the castle.
Definitely a big floppy waving red flag.
As a Nurse I consider your job to be more important than most people's job.

Tell him to fuck off!
