Petty husband

So my husband and I had an argument on Saturday morning. Even though we weren’t talking I made us all dinner as usual, fast forward tonight he offers to make dinner and does so for everyone but me. He’s always been a petty little man but now it’s got so much worse! Am I being unreasonable or is it ok to kick the muppet out?! X

Well you can't just kick him out.

Is this happening in front of children?

Singlebutmarried · 20/10/2019 17:54

Is he 5?

Sounds like a bit of a plonker.

Is he still not speaking either?

lolaflores · 20/10/2019 17:54

That's humiliation tactic. Not just petty. Dont rise to it for now, but do put chili powder in his underwear.
He is a fucking cunt

What @lolaflores said.
Little twat.

MrsSiriusBlack1 · 20/10/2019 17:59

He sounds tedious

Pumba3 · 20/10/2019 18:00

No it isn’t but I’ve been at a birthday party with my son this afternoon so I’ve hardly seen him.

Denying you food? That's nasty.

GrumpiestCat · 20/10/2019 18:02

Would he treat a pet that way?

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 20/10/2019 18:04

Wow that’s nasty. What were you arguing about?

ViciousJackdaw · 20/10/2019 18:06

What's his favourite takeaway? Go out and get it, sit yourself down with it, in the same room as him and thoroughly enjoy every single mouthful. Lots of 'mmm' and lip smacking too.

Then, arrange one's mallards into a straight line.

He wanted to use my car to transport some builders rubble to the top, I asked him why he couldn’t use his car, it escalated from there. I then told him he was being a petulant child and to grow up. He’s been in a huff since then and now this.

That’s pathetic, I’d lose respect for him

Pumba3 · 20/10/2019 18:13

I lost most of that years ago. I was staying because of the kids, but even that can’t sway me to stay now.

Does he often ‘punish’ you when he gets upset with you?

Pumba3 · 20/10/2019 18:20

Not to this extent but he will huff, sulk and be generally unpleasant to live with. I’m no angel, I get stressed and find juggling everything and I mean all the childcare, housework and of course working a bit much. However, I have never spoken Ill of him, mocked him in front of our kids or this latest trick all of which he has done to me. He’s such a tit it’s hard to overlook it now

Yeh, I'm sure the kids are really benefiting from being forced to live in this shitty environment.

And such a wonderful legacy too: growing up thinking it's normal to treat others/be treated this way.

mummyway · 20/10/2019 18:25

That's petty of him. Is this what you want your kids to learn

Pumba3 · 20/10/2019 18:27

Yes I agree so thank you for pointing that out quincejamplease. However I’m also aware that breaking up a home is not an easy path to follow either. I get that they need healthy role models but I also didn’t marry their father thinking he was a muppet, that was a something that came much later.

lolaflores · 20/10/2019 20:12

quincejam OP has quite sufficient amount of shite on her hands without that sort of sentiment. No need for it. She is acutely aware of what is happening and she is ready to leave.
pumba3 take control. Tonight. That's it over.
And let him know he has brought it to this point.

The kids will thank you and have a serene home led by an adult

Cherrysoup · 20/10/2019 20:16

That’s really shit of him when you rose above it and made him dinner yesterday. You sound like you’ve had enough, OP. Stop wasting your life.

Pumba3 · 20/10/2019 21:30

Lolaflores, thank you. Xx
