Just need to rant sorry!

My husband treats me like a maid there to service him and his needs and I am SICK OF IT.

Tonight's argument - I have asked him so many times to please clear his pockets before he puts things in the washing basket because I don't always have time to go through everything (on maternity with our baby and I'm knackered!). Anyway lo and behold he didn't again and his car key was put through the washing machine 🤷‍♀️ lots of blame on me of course, "is it really so hard to check his pockets for him" etc... Then lots of adamant "you're buying me a new one, you're sorting this out", "where are your keys I'm going to go run them under the tap" etc...

This is just one thing but it's just been the straw that broke the camel's back. I've packed up me and baby whilst he was in the shower and I'm at my mum's house who's on holiday.

I wouldn't even mind if he was like "my keys broken now but I know you told me to check pockets so I'm sorry I forgot" I'd have probably then apologised for not checking as well. But it's the total unwillingness to accept ANY blame. It's all my fault and now I'm apparently definitely paying for a new one for him or he'll wash my car keys as well (his wife on maternity getting next to no money).

I'm sat in my mum's empty house with a crying 6 month old. Happy Friday to me.

Yes he’s a twat. It was an accident but his fault as it’s his key and his clothes… end of. If he can’t see he’s being unreasonable you are better off without him.

He sounds like a nasty piece of work.

Sort out your contraception.
Stop doing anything for him.
Return to work.

Tell your mother what's going on.

Prepare to go home.
Do not depend on him.

Protect yourself.

Don't do that. Just tell him you're not going to be washing his stuff any more as you don't want to risk any repetition of this little saga, and leave it wherever he puts it. Maybe even get him is own separate washing basket as his washing is going to be his responsibility from now on.
