DP upset at me for not looking after myself

CoralieBoralie · 14/04/2022 00:03

have just had a fight (me crying) with DP in the kitchen. He had been quiet and I knew something was wrong so I asked straight out. He says it stems from him coming back to find me passed out on our bed in my clothes after a a glass of wine. I was dead tired anyway, so only one wine on top of that floored me - though he woke me up just by opening the bedroom door, and I'm certain I would have heard DD yelling through her monitor. Anyway - he says he's worried because I don't look after myself, listing bad diet (we eat healthy meals every night, and I love fruit, but I seldom have breakfast and my lunch is usually horrible like a bag beef hula hoops 😬) and no exercise. It's true, the only exercise I do is biweekly 40 minute round trip walking to pick up DD from nursery, and then obviously running after her (she's 2) when I'm not at work 3.5 days, taking her walks all over town etc.
I wish I wasn't so defensive, but it just felt a bit unfair.
As I said, I totally get the lunch stuff, but his voice of doom way of putting it really doesn't help

So you have a good relationship
He’s an involved father
And otherwise supportive partner

Why wouldn’t you take his concern seriously?

Heythere13 · 15/04/2022 10:14

I think that is what I find intriguing

In your op you are very honest about accepting your diet is not good and you don’t do enough exercise
You go on to confirm he’s very involved in parenting and seems a generally good relationship

But posters have twisted the scenario and now you seem to think no problem whatsoever

My dh tries to preach about what we do or don’t eat or the amount of exercise. The kids and I know it comes from a good place but the more he goes on, the less we listen. And we take the piss.

For heavens sake, @Heythere13 - lighten up

She's eating bloody Hula Hoops, and drinking a glass of wine. She is not snorting crack cocaine in front of her kids and passing out completely insensible. As soon as the door opened, she woke up. If her child had cried she'd have woken up.

The OP acknowledged several times that Beef Hula Hoops aren't an ideal lunch choice, but she has a decent supper, and she's said she will think about eating more at lunch.

I really don't think eating hula hoops if that is your main dietary vice really signifies as a Big Problem. 

You really are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

And being a preachy bully.

Go and make yourself a Buddha Bowl and eat it under your zen pergola or whatever and feel super smug.

But stop harassing @CoralieBoralie

Heythere13 · 15/04/2022 11:05

It’s not me, it’s her partner that needs to “lighten up” then. Her partner who lives with her and loves her and presumably genuinely cares about her

CoralieBoralie · 15/04/2022 15:15

Please fucking leave me alone

OP posts:
Heythere13 · 15/04/2022 15:16
Confused
CoralieBoralie · 15/04/2022 15:17

No idea what you're talking about with twisted scenarios either. Sorry I'm not fucking flagellating myself

Well this took a weird turn.

Heythere13 · 15/04/2022 15:19

Actually read my posts op
There is literally nothing even remotely bullying or abusive. Nothing

Heythere13 · 15/04/2022 15:19

Report my posts if you wish
Not even a whiff of bullying

CoralieBoralie · 15/04/2022 15:20

OK. Perhaps leave off now though. I've heard what you've had to say

OP posts:
Heythere13 · 15/04/2022 15:22

Will do. It seems to have run its course

But if you suspect bullying. Always best to report to get mumsnet to take a look

CoralieBoralie · 15/04/2022 15:23

I didn't say anything about bullying

OP posts:
CorsicaDreaming · 15/04/2022 17:12

No it was me that said bullying @Heythere13 -

and you are being bullying to the OP.
And over persistent.
And really unhelpful.

ReadyToMoveIt · 15/04/2022 18:44

And really fucking annoying.

TabithaTittlemouse · 15/04/2022 19:09

@CoralieBoralie I’m having beef hula hoops tonight in your honour.

I’m not sure why you are getting such a grilling. I think some people just like to beat others emotionally. Maybe they need more crisps?

CoralieBoralie · 15/04/2022 20:14

@TabithaTittlemouse I am honoured Grin I've been making a birthday cake for DD, so basically lunched off cake batter...need a beef hula hoop now offset the sweetness 😝

OP posts:
TabithaTittlemouse · 15/04/2022 21:31

Excellent! No one can say that it’s not a varied diet

CorsicaDreaming · 15/04/2022 22:29

Beef Hula Hoops and Birthday cake batter. Well I think that definitely covers all the main food groups OP!

You just need a wee glass of wine and you're sorted 🤣

Happy Birthday to your DD 🥳 🎂 🎈
