Partner had form for not keeping his word. It's a lot of minor things, but they add up to a really annoying pattern of behaviour. Also makes me feel like I'm not important enough to him to keep his word to me.
Examples:
- "I'll call you some point this morning from work to see how you're doing" (context: at home with our young DC not feeling well, said he'd call to check on me). No call.
- "I'll be home around 7pm ish to do bedtime with toddler DC" (if out with mates drinking - having been out since the afternoon). Comes home around 9pm. No update in the meantime.
- "I'll do it tomorrow when I'm off". (Insert any number of random household jobs that have needed doing forever). Doesn't do it.
These are just small examples but this is a pattern - whenever he says he will do something however small, he doesn't do it. I've stopped expecting it to happen now so I don't feel disappointed.
He is, however, exceptionally good at keeping his word to particular others. Eg, work colleagues, or certain family members. E.g. if he's told his Dad he will visit him at x time with our DC, he gets stressed leaving the house, eg "got to go now, told Dad I'd be there for 2pm" etc. Or picking up eldest kids from their mums - same scenario - "told them I'd be there at 3pm, got to leave now". Or work: "told my mate I'd do him a favour and get in earlier for the shift swap, so got to go now". Etc.
AIBU to get annoyed with this? It's literally only me who he doesn't keep his word to. He has no respect for me, does he?
