My Husband is entitled!!

Ok so I work 5 days a week in a social work role, it’s stressful but well paid/good annual leave, my salary is paying for mostly everything. My husband is self employed, his income is variable & the business isn’t doing great due to the amount of overheads he has to pay. He works 6 days a week, his choice.

i went out with friends on Friday night at around 7pm, had something to eat & went to an escape room was home by 10.30pm, wouldn’t be later as I know he works Saturdays. Before I went out I had arranged takeaway for him & my son, spent 2 minutes getting myself ready as that’s all I had between working, school run & ordering them food.

i slept awful Friday evening as usual (I'm in menopause, have been for yrs due to hysterectomy) so stayed in bed for a little Sat morning I’m talking 8am, he had gone downstairs & proceeded to lie on the sofa & do nothing until around 8.30am, got ready & left for work. He did take some wet washing out the machine but only because I shouted down for him to do this. I came downstairs & the house was a tip. Spent Saturday cleaning, food shopping, took my son out, new trainers for school, lots of personal admin, spoke to my daughter who is at uni etc. Got in at 5pm made him nice dinner & at 8pm he goes out with this friends, no problem but he then proceeds to get very drunk, slamming the front door at 1am, he will now be in bed until at least 9/10/11am whilst I’m already up & can’t sleep, he is breathing in my face which stinks, he has been making noises all night & snoring, I’m exhausted & it’s now Sunday, my last day before the week starts again.

He thinks he is entitled because he works 6 days a week!!!! I’m really on the edge!!!

Firstly it sounds like he needs to find a paying job instead of what pissing about at what sounds like a very expensive hobby due to the overheads and variable income.

Secondly I think it needs to spelled out to him that he needs to parent and split the domestic load 50/50.

What would he do if you ended it?;who'd pay his bills and how would he cope with having his child alone 50% of the time.

Time for him to shape up or ship out.

Pull the duvet and pillows off and take to the sofa. Lay it like a sleeping bag and get in. Let the selfish bastard freeze.
