It’s my birthday on Monday. Not a significant one but my birthday all the same. “D”P will be at work and it’ll just be me and 3 y/o DD.

My mum took DD for the weekend to give us time to do something nice for my birthday. He hasn’t seen his brother for a few weeks so he’s gone there and got absolutely bladdered and has been passed out in bed since 8:30pm. I’ve gone mad and said it’s the 1 fucking time I ask for anything, even just a drink in a Wetherspoons. I’m pissed off he’s bought his brother beer cos he lent money off me on Monday.

We’ve been together 5 years. Never had a card or present yet for some reason I bought him a PS5 for his last birthday. So he’s spent £340 in one day on himself and his little brother who only comes round on payday.

Ive no friends anymore as I’m a SAHM and relying on the bit of UC top up so I don’t have the money or childcare to go out much. My family hate him so my relationship with them is strained so I literally had 0 other plans. And I thought it was normal for couples to celebrate birthdays. We can’t do it on Monday.

Ive said he’s selfish. He called me selfish.
I’m fed up to high heaven.

Good luck on Monday. You deserve so much better.

It's awful to have to hit rock bottom but if thats where the path starts that gets you out of that hell hole - brilliant. Glad you had fun in the community as a birthday celebration. I suspect there will be many more fun days ahead in your future. Just need to get there first Flowers

He spat at you? Am shocked. Bloody hell that's gross. Who spits at their partner?

I’m gonna speak to womens aid on Monday once’s he’s at work. I do think I’m being abused. Ive been spat at today because I won’t buy a new washing machine (had it since May 2021)
I don’t want to leave my house.

How did it go today? Big hugs to you & happy belated birthday 💞
