I don't know if I'm being a drama queen here or not but here goes.
I get up on a morning and my boyfriend takes the dog up the road to do his business on the grass (he is out less than 5 mins)
So I start making breakfast.
He comes back and every day it's something new.
Today I made myself a cup of tea (he likes to make his own) so I get his cup and tea bag and leave the milk on the bench for him (he returns 1 min later)
He kicks off
"Why have you left the milk out? It goes off"
I said I knew he was only going to be a minute.
Last week I put the milk away and he said
"You've put the milk away when you know il be making a cuppa ,do I not live in this house"

Then I will put the bacon on ..
"Why haven't you turned that up full"
Or il do everything and he will find something else
"Have you not filled the dogs water bowl up"

Basically anything..even when there's nothing.
Aibu here or is this ott ?

Doesn't sound like a peaceful existance if you're always on the defensive.

Have you tried to talk to him about it?

Chitlin · 10/08/2020 08:55

He doesn't like you.

What you do with that information is up to you.

Enderman · 10/08/2020 08:56

Why would you think you’re being a drama queen? He sounds like an ungrateful twat.

Rachie1973 · 10/08/2020 08:59

He’s looking for a fight almost?

I couldn’t be bothered, being with someone like that is exhausting.

ChristmasinJune · 10/08/2020 09:07

Do you live together? Have children? Shared finances? Or is this a relatively new relationship?
I only ask because it doesn't sound like it's right for you. Who wants to live like that, being shouted at and criticised every day?

I've been in relationships like this and although talking can help for a short while, as a rule people tend to revert once they relax. The only thing that solved the problem for me was moving on.

FedUpAtHomeTroels · 10/08/2020 09:08

Life is tooo short for this shit. Set him free. Be happy.

LittleOwl153 · 10/08/2020 09:08

Time to move on. Don't waste your life on a bully.
He won't change. Or if he does it will get worse.

Weenurse · 10/08/2020 09:10

Sounds like he doesn’t like you and is wanting you off balance all the time.
What does he say if you bring it up?
‘Last week you said this, this week it is that, which is it?’

BashfulClam · 10/08/2020 09:12

He is definitely looking for anything to get at you. I’d have to tell him he either quits it or you leave.

WitchWife · 10/08/2020 09:17

Is he like this at other times or is he just a grumpy arsehole in the mornings and magically recovers once he’s had caffeine?

If he constantly nitpicks you need to get away from him. If it’s just a morning routine I think you need to tell him he’s unbearable before X time and he needs to sort his attitude out.

EKGEMS · 10/08/2020 20:25

Exchange the milk for his tea with arsenic

LatteLover12 · 10/08/2020 20:34

What a miserable way to live. Time to get rid OP, he'll never change.

beelola · 10/08/2020 20:36

Life's too short to waste it with someone that doesn't treat you well. Get rid of him.

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 10/08/2020 20:37

He doesn't like you.What you do with that information is up to you

This. Sorry OP. You deserve better.

minou123 · 10/08/2020 20:40

I had one like that....constant nitpicking

He once criticised how I changed the light bulb! Of course he refused to do it, but apparently I did it wrong Hmm

It got to the point where I didnt know if what I was doing was right or wrong.
So I got rid. Life has became infinitely better.

userabcname · 10/08/2020 20:42

I'd stop making him and tea and breakfast. Also, he's a dick and you could do so much better.

Merryoldgoat · 10/08/2020 20:46

Why would you put up with this? He’s horrible.

mummmy2017 · 10/08/2020 20:47

He is training you to grovel.
Chuck him out.

Sunrise234 · 10/08/2020 20:52

As other PPs said he doesn’t like you which is why any little thing you do annoys him.

How long have you been together/lived together?
Do you still have fun?

CelestialSpanking · 10/08/2020 20:52

Sounds like he’s a twat who’s gagging for a fight. Sack him off.

BitOfANameChange · 10/08/2020 20:57

You're right, he's having a go at you about anything and constantly shifting the goalposts.

My ex could be like that. Note, Ex....

I'd dump this bloke, just too exhausting to live with someone like this.
