Since been furload my DH spends his time either on computer or mobile fone. He doesn't seem interested in our two children. Even xmas day he got up then went back to bed after opening presents as he had hangover. Boxing day he stayed home while we went to my parents. I'm so fed up with this now. All he cares about is his computer. He seen a doctor but they say he's fine. What do I do?

Find out what's going on as if you're in the UK furlough ended months ago.

TrishM80 · 08/01/2022 22:28

He's into hard-core pork.

@TestingTestingWonTooFree

Ask him to move out to address his phone/pork addiction.
This is the best typo ever 😂

I'm sorry but this had me in stitches Grin

YANBU he needs to get off his arse and start looking after his children

Hmm it is interesting that you have no posting history.

So what is the big picture?

Do you work? Can you ask him to leave? Do you want this relationship the model for your children? Have you spoken to him about it?

Fuck sake 😂😂😂🤣🤣

Pork addiction! 😂😂😂😂😂

PurpleThursdays · 08/01/2022 23:06

On a serious note OP, do you mean he got addicted to his phone/computer in 2020 and has been doing that ever since? Does he have a job now or is he unemployed?

theNumbersStation · 08/01/2022 23:27

Give him the chop.

5foot5 · 08/01/2022 23:47

Does he have to wear a lanyard when he is at work?

The pork chop? Grin

That’s the one.

Especially if he has been eschewing life in favour of pulled pork.

monkeysox · 09/01/2022 00:29

Pulling his pork

SmellyOldOwls · 09/01/2022 00:33

@teaandtoastwithmarmite

He sounds depressed actually.
OP should be the one who's depressed with a partner like that.
itwasntaparty · 09/01/2022 00:39

So he's been sacked?

Detective work time.

Many are asking how can he be furloughed when that ended quite a while ago, and suggesting he may have lost his job . Do you have an office phone number for his work? Call it and ask to speak to him. False name, obvs. See what they say. 'He works from home' or 'he's still furloughed' or 'he no longer works here'.

Check the bank statements. Is there an income and where is it coming from?

Check the computer and mobile for internet search history. Anything weird? If there is zero history, that in itself is weird.

His behaviour is causing you distress and being in the dark over its cause will only make that worse. Eliminating work issues / finance problems / secret activities will help you focus on what's actually wrong.

Something is causing him to drink and to withdraw from your family. If he's not physically ill it could well be depression.

SleepingStandingUp · 09/01/2022 00:59

Hard to say without knowing what conversations you've had with him.

ThinWomansBrain · 09/01/2022 01:15

Maybe he is pissed off with being referred to as "hubby"?

Also, the pork addiction may lessen now that "pigs in blankets" season is over.

User310 · 09/01/2022 01:19

He sounds like a bloody moody teenager who wants to be anywhere other than living at home.

1forAll74 · 09/01/2022 01:23

He probably thinks he has some fake depression, so is opting out of everything.

Cagedbirdsinging · 09/01/2022 01:38

There's a new hard-core pork addiction film coming out soon called 'Cracklin' Rosie' .
(Sorry , OP)
