To not iron his shirts?

[popcorn1574]

My husband is currently throwing a tantrum because I won't iron his shirts. He's spent the last two hours playing xbox with his friends, and he's just come off and gone ballistic because I haven't done it.

I was in bed trying to sleep, he came in, put the light on bright and threw the covers off me, shouting at me to iron a shirt for him for tomorrow. I said no, why should I after he's spent the last couple of hours wasting time?

He's now saying he's not going to let me go to sleep until I do it, and he's going to let the air out of my tyres so I can't get to work tomorrow if I don't do it. I am feeling hopeless and like I'll have to give in.

Tell him to fuck off and leave him. This is no way to live.

Wtf? Why doesn't he iron his own shirts? He sounds like a total and utter arsehole.

I iron DH's shirts but then again he does most of the cooking and all the washing up.

An old episode of Easterenders saw a character kill her abusive dh with an iron...
Just a thought...
Tomorrow unpick the arse of all his trousers then hang them back up..
And do not iron the shirts...

Wow, he sounds mature threatens to slash tyres, that's a crazy tantrum. Reconsider where your future with him is going.

Honestly I'd call the police.

YABU btw.

Sorry that should have been YANBU.

me too.. anyone abusing me in such a vile way I would be hitting 999. tell him to iron his own crap.

My goodness is this for real? Of course YANBU. He is BU for expecting you iron his shirts.
I think you need a new partner!

Is this his normal behaviour? I'd be reconsidering my marriage.

Waking you up by shouting at you, and threatening to slash your tires?! This is not normal behaviour. This is abusive. Has he been like this before? Some major alarm bells are going off in my head.

I think I’d have packed a bag and gone, OP. Before he had the chance to let my tyres down. What a horrible person, to suggest he’d stop you from sleeping/getting to work.

What else does he do? Are you really willing to continue putting up with this?

Is this serious?

He sounds like a nut job.

Once he realises that shouting at you and threatening to let air out of your tyres isn't working what will he move on to? Physical threats?

It doesn't sound as if you are safe there tonight. Do you have anywhere you can go?

YANBU. This doesn’t sound like an isolated incident in terms of his behaviour - is he like this often OP? Threatening and controlling etc? Does he even do anything to help out? I mean regardless of the back story here, that was utterly vile on his part and if I were you I would have a good long think about what he brings to the table and whether this is the kind of life you want.

Don't do it! Never give in to terrorists, bullies or tantrums - sounds like he's in the latter category

Phone the police. Please.

This is absolutely outrageous behaviour and although I'm not a one for saying LTB I would have reconsidered my marriage very seriously if my DH had done anything similar.

If you have the slightest fear that he might get violent then it might be best to do the ironing and decide what you're going to do in the morning. Gotta be pragmatic.

If you don't then I'd advise telling him you're going back to bed and if he follows through on the threat to your car you're going to dump him/report him to the police.

Or you could just trash his Xbox.

Flipping heck, get out of there tonight. This is not normal behaviour and I fear for your safety 😔

Jesus pulling the covers and shouting would be enough for me, LTB

Wtf? What's wrong with the cunt and why are you still with him? Can you get out of there tonight (take your kids if you have any).

I never iron DP’s shirts. He irons his own, for two reasons ;

1, They are his shirts.

2, He doesn’t trust me to iron them properly to his standards. He’s quite right, too.

Call the police. Nasty bastard.
