I think my DH is jealous of my Adult children (that aren’t his)

Me and my DH get on pretty well most of the time. But I think he’s jealous of my relationship with my adult kids! I hardly see them too. One is 40 miles away and the other lives in Australia.

Two months ago, we hired a van and moved my son into a new apartment. My husband was the only person who could drive the van. He had a long face the whole day and made us feel very indebted to him for driving. Why can’t he do it with a good heart?

My daughter is back from Australia right now, only for four days for a wedding, and we are meeting for breakfast on Monday. I offered to drive them to the airport after breakfast, as it is en route to our way home. The only way that we could do this is to take 2 Cars. Well, my husband has hit the roof! Telling me that I’m a joke and unreasonable . I don’t even really know why he is angry.

I’m just so exhausted with the competition. We don’t have sex anymore (his decision). It’s so sad because I am in love with him, but this is such a turn off that part of me just wants him to leave. He has stormed off to bed and I’m feeling so lost.

Fuck sake! What joy is this man child bringing to your life? He’s rude, insulting, petty and jealous and doesn’t want to have sex (of course it’s ok to say no to sex, but it sounds like he’s ruled it out with no discussion).
Chuck this one back OP!

A man would only ever call me a stupid cunt once.

Time to send him on his way, and take pleasure in doing so if it means he’s going to be fucked.

So he's jealous of your kids. Acts like a sullen teenager. Doesn't appreciate the effort you go to for him. Decided there'd be no more sex. Gets aggressive and in your face over nothing. Has repeatedly called you a cunt.

What a catch.

He's emotionally abusive, you know that, right?

If a man called me that it would only ever be once. He would never get the opportunity to call be that a second time.

Raise your standards woman.

I agree that he's not using it as banter btw. It was stupid of me to even mention it tbh 😔

I don’t think it was 😊, it’s a good point that while c*nt is a pretty abhorrent word, usually directed hatefully at women, there are some pockets of Scotland (where the OP is from), that it’s not always used in the same horrible misogynistic way.
