For context my husband works two jobs, o work part time and do all the housework, grocery shopping, everything to do with the kids etc. I pay bills, most of my wages go on bills I have around d £100 left out of my wages. I have raised the subject of increasing hours at work but my DH just says then it will impact the kids and he can’t do for them what I do.
Onto This morning, I don’t know if I’m in the wrong here. My DH can have trouble waking up, if he needs to be up by a certain time he will ask me to wake him up. He didn’t ask me to this morning as I was meant to be out this AM with our son at football, he didn’t know it had been cancelled, so should have set an alarm. We don’t know until this AM it wasn’t going ahead.
around 10:15 I popped my head into the bedroom and asked what time he was getting up, he replied I’m already up, leave the door open as in our bedroom door to let the light in. I then went made a cup of tea for him, and set about sorting our daughters bedroom out. Around 30 mins later I suddenly realised Id not heard him. I went back in and he’d fallen back asleep I woke him and asked why he wasn’t up yet. He said I am and asked the time. When I told him the time he went mad, asked why I’d not woke him up. I replied I did wake you and you said you were awake.
He then started banging around the house, throwing things round in the bathroom and banging something loudly repeatedly in anger. This went on until he’d left for work. It’s not the first time he has behaved in this manner, aggressively banging or throwing things.
Nothing was broken or damaged today, in the past he’s dented the wall slightly kicking a basket in anger. The younger kids were occupied upstairs so they didn’t see him but our older son did. It didn’t upset him, he just went back to his room and continued watching TV.
it made me feel sick and my heart was pounding until he left for work and I was on edge for a while after. I had a traumatic childhood and times a stepparent would behave like this and it’s brought back lots of anxiety from them.
So I want to get others take on this, is this a tired man, and I should have kept checking he was awake or is this unacceptable? I feel it is but then doubt myself and think maybe I should have done more. Be gentle please, I want honest feedback but gently.
