This is going to sound very petty but I'm furious. The last couple of months has been tight in regards to money with 3 out of 4 birthdays in an 8 week period before christmas and 2 emergency dentist appointments. I've got about £11 until Friday. I knew that DP had some more money as we'd done the finances (ha) a couple of weeks ago. And asked to borrow some a couple of days ago, he said he did not and when I asked him where the money had gone he said he's bought me w Christmas present. I left it and told him that it was silly to do so before Christmas and should've waited until payday. He made me promise not to open the gift so of course I said I wouldn't. Said present has just arrived 3 days later and is in v think packaging. It's obviously a PS4 game that he's bought for himself I even compared sizes from his other games and it's from cex. It wouldn't be for me as I have 0 interest in games. I'm furious the he's lied to my face am I over reacting

This man is playing you like a fiddle. He will continue to treat you like shit until you decide to get rid of him once and for all. What a horrible piece of shit he is.

You need to find your WRATH and put a rocket up his arse.

@messolini9 her parents, which makes it even worse, but otherwise I agree with you.

@nosleepisevident one can have mental health problems and also be a complete asshole. Sounds like this is your «D»P’s case.

I have mental health problems and I have never ever taken it out on my DH or children. I always try my utmost to treat them with love and respect regardless of how bad I'm feeling inside. And if I slip up and raise my voice or similar, I apologise.

MH problems don't turn you into an abuser.
