Partner has blocked me

Long story short but my partner is in a mood with me (for no reason may I add) and has blocked my number, and blocked me on social media etc so I can't contact him, would this annoy you?

Very immature of him, ten years too wow.

My advice don't chase it's to cause you panic and it's toxic af

PerfectTravelTote · 07/06/2024 16:18

I'm wondering if your dh might have additional needs himself. His behaviour is very unusual.

Nouvellenovel · 07/06/2024 16:21

@Ionasmum19 does he liè on the bed to watch TV.
If so strip the bed and open all the windows.
You're doing a spring clean obviously.

Moody manchild!

He says I didn't do enough to try keep her in preschool another year. I done everything I could but the professionals think attending the learning centre is the best option for her.

So what did he do to try and keep her in preschool then?
he sounds like a child, don’t put up with this behaviour or he will keep doing it.
block him back and change the locks…

And what was he fucking doing to help his child get the education he feels she should have? Why was it only up to you?

Up to you how you deal with this obviously but I think you need a to make it clear to him that you won’t put up with this utter shite behaviour ever again. And really mean it.

MustBeDueSomeBetterFeet · 07/06/2024 16:24

Treat him like the toddler he is. No attention whatsoever.

My Dad did the same thing to my Mum. He doesn't have any additional needs, he was just being abusive.

OP, I know you two have been together for a long time but I'd definitely be looking at reconsidering this relationship. It will be affecting both you and your daughter and he's making no attempt to get help if he does have additional needs.

Ionasmum19 · 07/06/2024 16:08

Yeah he will come home, hit or a miss whether he'll speak to me or go upstairs and watch TV. If he doesn't speak I just leave him to sulk, he will speak eventually

It doesn’t have to be like this. He’s truly appalling.

AGodawfulsmallaffair · 07/06/2024 16:32

He’s blocked you because of your daughter’s additional needs? Anything in this relationship for you? I’d be blocking the front door, permanently.

FirstBabySnnorer · 07/06/2024 16:36

So he's a shitty parent and an emotionally abusive immature husband. Not sure what any of us can say really. It sounds like you're doing a tremendous job with your daughter and she's very lucky to have you. But being around him will do a lot of damage to her long term.

LightSpeeds · 07/06/2024 16:41

Block him - PERMANENTLY!

ItsFuckingBoringFeedingEveryoneUntilYouDie · 07/06/2024 16:44

How often is this happening? The ignoring and going upstairs to sulk, the blaming you for things? I bet this is not new. Look up stonewalling. His behaviour is abusive.

OldTinHat · 07/06/2024 16:46

This isn't fair on you and DC.

Imagine if you did the same to him?!

If he 'can't cope', tell him to move out, claim child maintenance and carry on as you are. Because it sounds like you're doing it all anyway.

You don't need another man child.

UnpackingBooksFromBoxes · 07/06/2024 16:52

Where is he? Round his parents? Working? Pub? I’d find him and have a word. Blocked you, what is he, 12? Unless of course you are bombarding him with unnecessary messages, in which case I don’t blame him.

StormingNorman · 07/06/2024 17:04

What does he do when he goes incommunicado?

What really worries me is how you seem to have normalised this behaviour. He is wearing you down and you deserve so much more.

AcrossthePond55 · 07/06/2024 17:04

@Ionasmum19

So, sounds like this is a regular occurrence. Why do you tolerate such disrespect?

If he isn't now, he will eventually a very negative influence on your DD's emotional wellbeing. She will sense his constant disappointment. If I were you I'd be making plans to leave now, rather than later.

ThankFitsFriday · 07/06/2024 17:06

It’s toxic behaviour, my ex used to do this (partly why he’s an ex!)

KreedKafer · 07/06/2024 17:08

OP, you have posted about your partner and his awful behaviour several times before.

You've said that he loses his temper, shouts at you and calls you awful names, gives you the silent treatment, is a crap dad to your daughter, tells you what to do, doesn't defend you against his family who hate and exclude you etc etc. ~

You are absolutely wasting your time by just repeatedly posting about each individual thing he does and asking whether other people would mind.

You are in an abusive relationship and you need to end it.

EDIT: Oh, and stop saying that his behaviour is because he's stressed by your daughter's additional needs. That's not an excuse and you need to stop attributing his shitty, abusive, bullying behaviour to having a disabled child. Your daughter did not cause this. He caused this.

Rickrolypoly · 07/06/2024 17:12

Will you please just leave this man. I know you might not be able to right now this moment but please, for the love of God, just start making plans to leave him.
He is not a good partner or father or even person.
Get some help and get away from him.

cheddercherry · 07/06/2024 17:13

This is no way to live and it’s totally unfair for your daughter to be witnessing this behaviour. You can’t normalise what he’s doing, it’s such an abusive way to behave.

BuggeryBumFlaps · 07/06/2024 17:26

Life's too short to put up with shit like this.

Imagine how your dd will feel when she realises that her df is sulking because of her needs? Do both you and your dd a favour and remove you both from his toxic behaviour. You don't want your dd thinking this is normal behaviour and requires her to 'put up with it.

Lucy377 · 07/06/2024 17:40

This silent treatment is emotional abuse.

You are being a good parent to your child but this big adult toddler you live with is sapping your energy.
Also it's eroding your self worth.

Tell him you are not tolerating these moods anymore and he needs to live elsewhere when he's like this.
Had he parents he can go to? But actually it's not your problem where he goes.

You are not his mother so stop acting like he's a tired cranky toddler. He's walking all over you.

Tell someone in real life how he treats you.

Getonwitit · 07/06/2024 17:44

Are you seeing a 16 year old ? His arse would be out the door if he acted like that with me. Raise your bar.

Bigcat25 · 07/06/2024 17:47

What an ass. Why is it up to you to "do enough" and not him? Sorry op.
