Ironing his stupid trousers!!!

85 replies

SnotBlower · 16/08/2019 08:20

DP doesn’t live with me, he visits at weekends. He lives at home with mummy who does everything for him.

He recently had a hernia op. He bought some cargo trousers as he was told jeans would be too tight around the ball sack.

So he comes to my house to stay for the week. During which he leaves his stupid trousers on the bathroom floor and soaked them with shower water. Next day he asks me where his trousers are. I suggested they may be where he left them. He acts horrified and says “you left them in that state on the floor?!” So I say “no, YOU left them in that state”. He storms off muttering to himself and then asks me to wash them. I tell him to put them in the wash basket and they will be washed with next load. He does this whilst continuing to mutter to himself. A few hours later he asks where stupid trousers are. I say they’re on the line drying. He snaps “for God’s sake, I need them! Couldn’t you have put them in the dryer?” So I simply say “no”.

Now the best bit, he comes up to me later with said stupid trousers and asks where he should put them to be ironed. I sarcastically reply “the ironing board”. Stupid twat only went and laid them on the ironing board to await my arrival!!

I refused to iron them and told him to do it himself. He kicked off saying he didn’t know how to. WIBU to not do it for him?

Dump.

HeyMonkey · 16/08/2019 08:37

He's a lost cause. Mummy has ruined him.

AmIThough · 16/08/2019 08:37

If you end it now he'll fuck off home early - bonus!

PancakeAndKeith · 16/08/2019 08:38

Why is he still living with his mum?

Where do you see this relationship going? Do you see him moving in with you? Getting married? Having children?
Do you want all that with this man?

BertrandRussell · 16/08/2019 08:38

But don’t blame “mummy”.
He’s an adult man. Nobody’s fault but his.

NorthernBirdAtHeart · 16/08/2019 08:38

YANBU - do men like this still exist?!
Run OP, run!

bellinisurge · 16/08/2019 08:38

Ex-partner, surely. Sounds like a shit boyfriend rather than a "partner". Don't dignify that term by calling him a partner.

bellinisurge · 16/08/2019 08:39

I meant don't "undignify " that term Grin

Fudgenugget · 16/08/2019 08:42

I'd dump him. He has "failed to launch" as the old movie says. This is not acceptable.

ellendegeneres · 16/08/2019 08:43

I’d do it while he was there and dump it over him like he dumped his shit all over you and your home

Timeandtimeagain42 · 16/08/2019 08:43

Definitely end it now, life is WAY too short to be running around after over grown mummy's boys!!!

user1473878824 · 16/08/2019 08:47

End it now and he can fuck off home still. What an absurd man child! I do all the housework at home (it works for us) but DP doesn't expect me to.

MayFayner · 16/08/2019 08:47

A) surely some decent joggers would be more appropriate, and softer? I’m struggling to accept that cargo pants are the only option in this situation.

B) Dump.

Weenurse · 16/08/2019 08:48

How old is he?
As newly wed DH did some hand washing for the first time. He did not separate colours so ended up with a grey mess.
He looked at me and said ‘you will never let me do the washing again’.
My reply _’it is now your job as you obviously need the practice.’
Does he have training potential?

BertrandRussell · 16/08/2019 08:50

“Does he have training potential?“

More to the point- do you want to “train” an adult in how to live?

GoAwayRain · 16/08/2019 08:51

I would be slinging his trousers out of the door and him after them.

HouseworkAvoider10 · 16/08/2019 09:07

Bin him, and his ball sack.

GreenTulips · 16/08/2019 09:10

I hope you’ll tell him why he’s been dumped, guessing it’s happened before anyway!!

GoGoGoGoGo · 16/08/2019 09:12

I’m so glad you aren’t pandering to his man child ways.

Honeyroar · 16/08/2019 09:13

I can't believe you didn't dump him after the holiday. There doesn't sound like there's any point whatsoever being with this type of partner.

Tonnerre · 16/08/2019 09:13

On holiday recently he loudly complained to me that the room was an absolute tip. He was right, it was ... there was clothes all over the floor ... HIS clothes!!

So how did he react when you pointed out that the remedy for the tip lay solely in his hands?

GoGoGoGoGo · 16/08/2019 09:16

Can’t believe he kicked off because you didn’t do things for him. What a twat.

Weenurse · 16/08/2019 09:19

Entitled man child

Horehound · 16/08/2019 09:25

End it now!

mbosnz · 16/08/2019 09:27

Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back, no more, no more, no more, no more. . .
