DH has got man flu and is huffing, puffing sighing everywhere. When I went to bed last nigthts the sounds coming from our bed resembled that of an old radio. He insisted on taking most of the bed, and, when I finally got comfy he moved over and elbowed my arm out of the way.

After an hour I decided to get up and come downstairs. I have had about 1-2 hours sleep tops.

I've just been upstairs and asked that when he gets up if it is ok that I have a couple of hours only to be met with a stoney silence and a grumbled 'I suppose so'

For goodness sake, is it too much to ask that I have a couple of hours in bed when it is his fault I didn't sleep in bed in the first place.

YANBU. I would actually be tempted to go out after that reaction, but I'm a right grumpy cow this morning , so maybe that wouldn't be completely necessary

i get the same begrudging response from mine too.

been up since 4.55 cos ds got in bed with us freezing cold, spread himself out and left no room for me.
got up came downstairs.
dh sill in bed.
incidentally twas me up with ds at 6.30 yesterday as well.
if i get back in bed when dh gets up he will say "what you doing?"

Am going to ignore him, shut bedrom door and get into bed where i shall stay for at least an hour. he can feck off to his mothers with the damned kid for a few hours today, leav me in peace.

i shall then be refreshed and cheerful and ill want cuddles off damned kid and husband.

You should leave the house, check yourself into a local travelodge and get some uninterrupted sleep

deenymcqueenygoreandguts · 18/11/2007 08:07

it must be aman thing .
when we went away with the inlaws, i was up between 4.30 aqnd 5 am eevery morning with ds.
when dh got up at 8ish, i went back to bed for an hour.

they started to say "she in bed again?" when they got up.

then by 2 in the afternoon when ds was evil, they would say "ah, he is tired, bless him"
i was ready to thro w myself under a bus.

all they think i do is lie in bed all dy.

bloody arses

oooh im so glad for this thread, you understand what i mean.

well my dh went out to watch footie at 3pm yesterday- knowing it could be a bit of a session though he said it wont be a late 1 and never took his key!!!

I have been ill since Thursday so was fine about being at home with our DS's

Called him at 10.30 to ask when he would be home as I was tired he said dunno- I lost it and said remember you have no key and I am ill.

Called again at 1am no answer- he then text me 10 mins later to say be home soon at 2.30am I text saying doors locked- F* U!!!.

DT1 has been up since 1am unwell and we both went to sleep around 3.30am. DS1 and DT2 been up since 6am so we are bloody knackered

And the swine still aint back- hope his party was worth it

Plinkyplonk · 18/11/2007 14:18

He has text over the past few hours asking if we are home tho- have replied to some being well rather bitchy

Still haven't told him we're home PMSL let the arse stew a bit longer cause he will be feeling well rough, hungry and extremly tired ahhhhhhhhh revenge

LazyLinePainterJane · 18/11/2007 19:01

Well I hope he learns to act less like a selfish idiot!

Let us know what happens, Jambuttie

Jambuttie · 19/11/2007 10:37

Well this woman aint taking his shite I have my self respect in tact thankyou very much

So is this the end? I wait on his arrival- on my terms of course!!!

LazyLinePainterJane · 19/11/2007 10:40
Shock
LazyLinePainterJane · 19/11/2007 10:41

So do you reckon he is being serious about getting his things or saying it to deflect the focus onto something else, IYSWIM?

Plinkyplonk · 19/11/2007 11:05

Bloody hell JB, I must admit if DH did this he would be out on his arse.

Tell me about it folks

Well he came over at 1 and was real emotional after 10 mins i asked- erm so are u getting your things then? He said yes just wanted to hug my sons- our twins were here they are 3 however ds1 was at school.

He packed his stuff and I said remember it a tae kwon do night for me can u come and sit with the kids he said yip and proceeded to tell the twins he would see them tonite- he was well out in his place there - er no matey they will be in bed at normal time so will be asleep when u get here

He asked if I could keep ds1(6) up for him i said nope u chose to walk away leave the home I am NOT upsetting their bedtime routine too

was actually quite proud of how strong I was he was the one that left crying !!! me I showed no emotion whatsoever

LazyLinePainterJane · 19/11/2007 19:31

Jambuttie! I can't believe it!

I have to say, you have acted very rationally and calmly and I applaud you. Is it over?

Jambuttie · 19/11/2007 22:11

I'm not sure whats going on to be honest!!!!!

He came as arranged to sit with the boys till I went to Tae kwon do and left when I got home.

He said " my mums there to talk to too she aint taking sides" I said I'm ok dont need to talk to no 1 he just shook his head in disgust I mean FFS its him that left not me WTF do I want to talk about prick!!!

He's visiting tomorrow so he can see DS1 as he was asleep when he arrived tonite

mistypeaks · 19/11/2007 22:28

They don;t get it do they? I work nights. Admittedly not massive nights. 3 days a week 9.30 pm til 2.30 am., so get home arounf 3am - sleep by 3.30ish. Kids get up between 6.30/7.30 and usually sleep during the day for an hour (at the same time). so I get 45 mins power nap. DH never really says anything outright, but I can tell he's unimpressed if I'm too tired to do dinner etc. If I ask for an hour at the weekend it's a trauma . . . because he goes to work all week . . .. (WTF do I do?) grr

Jambuttie · 20/11/2007 21:46

They are like big kids eh!!!!

well met with DH hubby tonite and chatted loads, hopefully in time we can resolve the issues and get strong again.

He is still away from home though I'm not ready for him to come back he not ready t be back either have to take it slowly esp 4 kids sakes too
