He's emptied half the dishwasher wtf

I've walked around the supermarket because he's decided to diet . No carbs so I've sourced, meat and vegetable plus nuts to sustain him. I put on the dishwasher before I left. He's emptied the top half left the rest to me coz you know division of labour innit.

I'm so bloody annoyed. He does zero in the house, pink job. Bins I stand outside 52 weeks a year sorting plastic, tin, glass, paper, cardboard, he's a hero for dragging it up six steps.

I'm so bloody annoyed if we didn't share the cooking somewhat I'd chuck him out. Even though some of his meals end up in the dogs

Woah. Take a breath.
Nobody on here knows what sort of life anybody else has had. I never presume to know either. I just know that we can all expect to be treated decently, and if someone doesn't treat you decently, you can choose not to put up with them.

Sometimes you can choose to vote with your feet I agree because I have, many times. Many times you can’t though. Can you just walk out of a job if your boss is horrible? Can an abused child leave? Can a wife leave if her husband doesn’t pull his weight with the dishwasher? What if it means losing her home, going to a shelter if she can find one, being a single parent when she’d rather not etc.

Like I said, it’s a trite saying which may sound good or empowering but it also blames victims of abuse (of whatever type) if they cannot simply leave the situation. Victims don’t all chose to be treated badly but all abusers have a choice don’t they?

You saw how the previous poster laid into me with her personal insults because I’d disagreed with her. I did not “allow” her to attack me but she went ahead and did it anyway 🙄

@justasking111 I love that you are sneaking veg into his meals !

I used to put Brussels sprouts into spag bol - but that was when DH DS was a toddler.

More nasty attacks. I am not allowing you to attack me. There! That’ll stop you. Not. You are proving the point that I cannot stop you.

TheSalesGirl · 27/02/2024 19:04

YABU for saying you 'sourced' groceries

SgtJuneAckland · 27/02/2024 19:07

Sausages and liver and onions?! That's two meals

Haven't had sex in 17 years, his prostate operation went wrong. He's 74 married 47 years so not divorcing now. Just venting how petty can you get.

Did the botched operation also take away the ability to go shopping?

Sounds like all this is a problem to your own making

newyearnewnothing · 27/02/2024 19:08

@InShockHusbandLeaving you are proving my original point!
You keep engaging.
Like I said...
People treat you how you allow them to!
Point well an truly proven!

Why do you feel the need to insult me over and over again? Do you think you’ve “won”? What have you won? You’ve proved that you’re really good at attacking anyone who disagrees with you but was that your goal? If so, why? Narcissism is rife these days. Just saying 🤭

Moosegooseontheloose · 27/02/2024 19:13

YABU by staying with him and enabling him.

Why can’t he do his own shopping ?

newyearnewnothing · 27/02/2024 19:14

@InShockHusbandLeaving I've proved my original point and you've proven that original point !
I'm not attacking you.
You are just hard work and obviously bored.
Maybe over sensitive.
But hey ho...

Stop bloody attacking me!!! For effs sake you are relentless in your nasty pursuit of me. You are literally saying I have to leave the thread because of you. Why should I let you stop me contributing to this thread? I DO NOT allow you to insult me repeatedly nor do I allow you to drive me off this thread. Stop your nasty behaviour now!!

Containerhome · 27/02/2024 19:24

@newyearnewnothing you have been quite nasty really. Please leave @InShockHusbandLeaving alone.

Why not divorce?

God imagine being at your stage of life of OP and still arguing over emptying the bloody dishwasher!

Are you the poster with the DH who dictates Christmas around his digestive system. Does this diet help or make it worse @justasking111

Loubelle70 · 27/02/2024 19:42

Comedycook · 27/02/2024 14:39

But anyway...do you both have jobs? How many hours do you each work a week?

I don't think that matters. He needs to pitch the lazy entitled assend

Yes it is relevant imo. If he was working full time and she didn't work at all, I'd expect her to do most stuff around the house. If they both worked full time, then I'd say it is to be shared.

That's a good point,, we'll just have to wait and see.

We didn't argue, I left it. He came back and did it while he was cooking dinner

He does do shopping too. We both add to the kitchen list as groceries need replacing. He often pops out with the list and does it.

I happened to be in town so went shopping with the carnivore diet in mind.

This is so sad to read @justasking111. I know you for donkeys years, on many mn threads, but this is just awful to read. Sad

puzzledout · 28/02/2024 03:41

@justasking111 well if you were so bloody annoyed maybe you should've voiced that?
