Need to vent about lack of support

Aahhhhhhhh · 25/03/2023 18:38

I need to vent. Flu has hit this household. Other half has been in bed since last Sunday. I mean almost 24/7. He’s been out to do a couple of hours urgent work but that’s it.
So on Wednesday I get it, then on Thursday our toddler gets it, our eldest has managed to avoid so far. Since Wednesday I have continued to look after both kids whilst cocodamoled up to my eyeballs to ease the pain and keep the house going. Other half has done jack shit all week. He decided to make dinner tonight, the kitchen is a disaster. In between being sick I’ve cleared it up. I told him he was a selfish prick, I got told to give him a break. Cue me getting upset and crying, my eldest went up to tell him that I’m crying, he told her I was pathetic and I was crying because of her. He then muttered something like, we’ll see who’s selfish when I kick you out this house.
I am a SAHM. He holds that over me every time. But tbh that’s a long story.
it just brings back memories of me being almost immobile due to severe morning sickness both pregnancies and he flicked off to a fancy hotel because he needed time to himself. At this point I hate him.

Not surprised you hate him. He doesn't seem to like or respect you. What a pig. Maybe the time has come to seek advice from a solicitor, when you're feeling better.

Frankly, I fucking hate him too.

Leave him and absolutely live off every benefit you can until able to support yourself, it's what the system is for. You don't have to live with that prick just because he has the income.
