Aibu to leave him at 21 weeks pregnant?

Preggerslife123 · 27/09/2019 07:35

I am 21 weeks pregnant with my first child.
He already has 2. I do a majority of the housework/childcare even though he doesn't work.
When he cleans If someone moves a picture or leaves a bag where it shouldn't be he will happy let everyone know that this is not right.(in the last month he has done house twice btw) yesterday I was half way through laundry when I realised some of my washing wasnt dry yet so I put it back into the tumble dryer to finish then carried on pottering around.(the piles of cloths I had folded already where on the back of the sofa)
He then sits on the sofa the pile of cloths annoys him so he threw them across my front room!
When I tried to question him about why he had done this instead of just taking them upstairs if he really couldn't wait for me to finish, he told me to shut up and go to bed in front of the children.
I left the house and went to a friends as feeling very hormonal as it is.
To then receive a text to say hes going to call universal credit and separate our claim. I should get a new house and find this baby a new dad Confused
I guess my aibu is to call his bluff and just tell him that's fine and go to the council. Or do I try and make it work for the babys sake ??
Sorry for the long thread

Please do not stay with this man. You will never ever ever be happy. You will be a downtrodden, miserable, abused woman though, if you fancy that? LEAVE.

Make a note of everything whilst fresh in your mind with dates and times. If he hasn’t been bothered about his other two children then you might not have to worry about hit third, BUT some people are cruel and he may try and get more access than he should be allowed - baring in mind he is a lazy TWAT!

So he's lazy, doesn't work, and has no respect for you.

You're a fool if you stay.

Whose name is the house in? You should kick him out and be done with him. Nobody deserves that kind of behaviour

Whattodoabout · 27/09/2019 10:24

He sounds like a reeeaaalll catch Hmm. Of course you should leave, the alternative is a life of misery.

whatever123noname · 27/09/2019 10:51

Leave now, it's much harder when you're heaviky pregnant or have a newborn.

The baby will be happier just with you. Because you will otherwise spend valuable energy making an abusive twat happy. Get your things and go. Extremely difficult but not impossible. Sorry you have to go through this but you need to be strong nowFlowers

Tosser Hmm. I would let him go, he’s not bringing anything positive to the relationship is he?. It’ll be easier to extricate yourself before the baby is born & trust me, it’s a lot easier to just get on and do things yourself than wait around for help from a useless partner. It’s exhausting and soul destroying. I actually have considerably less crap to do since ExP left. Makes you realise how much mess they make and how little they do.
Good luck Flowers

Leave it’s only gonna get worst

Thehop · 27/09/2019 12:14

Leave ASAP. This will get a million times worse when that baby arrives and you’ll find it hard to leave.

Please do it. You can’t be happy with someone who, at best, doesn’t like you.

cakeandchampagne · 27/09/2019 12:16

Things will just get worse.
You & your baby will do much better without him.

Kpo58 · 27/09/2019 12:16

LTB and don't look for a new dad for your child. If you meet someone in the future fine, but take it slow. Your baby won't benefit from a revolving door of temporary dad's.

cacklingmags · 27/09/2019 12:29

What a nasty git. He will get worse - and worse. I would leave him off the birth cert - it does not sound as though he will ever be earning to pay CM. Make a clean break, you don't want this lazy bum sponging off you.

Unknownanon · 27/09/2019 13:12

Leave him. MH issues aren't a get out clause for bring a selfish wanker, nor to treat your partner like shit.

Logistically, whose home is it?

Bouffalant · 27/09/2019 13:16

Who owns/rents the house?

Fuck that, i'd be gone.

EvenPhilip · 27/09/2019 13:20

Do I try and make it work for the baby's sake
Erm No, you end it for the baby's sake. (Yours too)
