ok here goes.
dp has just woken up and said his mate had rung him inviting him out on a works do (a piss up round town) tonight and he was going whether I liked it or not.

I am so pissed off with this because its extremely short notice and he also has overnight contact with his two little girls every Sat night and he was going to call his ex up and let them all down so he could go out. I thought that was pretty disgusting myself and told him so.

We have had many many issues lately as he goes out toplay darts twice a week and comes in at 2 or 3 in the morning with no explanation as to where he has been, spending a lot of money which we can ill afford,

He went mad and said I was a bitch because I went on my works do last sat (which was a sit down buffet meal in one place with a live band and I only spent a tenner on soft drinks as I'm pg) That was the first time I'd been out in 6 months and I drove!

Then he said he would get his mother to baby sit which I do not as it isn't fair on her as she would have to sit for 5 children and she finds it difficult to cope all at once. His attitude is that he doesn't care as long as he goes out with his mates.

Is it me being a control freak because I've put my foot down or is it him being a twat, because he says I'm the bitch?

he is a cunt

choosyfloosy · 12/12/2009 14:10

God almighty, is he serious? He's going to let down his dds like that? Has he done it before?

Those poor girls.

Do you get on with them? Do they like being with you? TBH the main reason I would stay with this man would be to stick around for his daughters' sake.

Next time he's really drunk, tattoo 'To find out more about this man before you have a child with him, call [your mobile number] and [his X's mobile number] any time.'

I hope he's good in bed, because if not, then what's the point in staying with him?

He doesn't respect you

He doesn't respect his children

He doesn't respect his mother

He doesn't even respect himself (if he has been advised by medical personnel to stay off alcohol ready for his procedure)

Why exactly are you with this idiot?

GetDownYouWillFall · 12/12/2009 14:39

It is strange on darts night he stays out till 2 or 3, what pub stays open that late?
Also why does he turn his mobile off?

All sounds a bit dodgy to me.

merrycompo · 12/12/2009 14:43

god his poor daughters?

his ex must be fuming

can just imagine a thread from her on here 'my wanker of an ex pisses off out every time the dcs go to stay with him'

CirrhosisByTheSea · 12/12/2009 15:23

agree with alex

And he sounds like something out of Eastenders. Letting down his children so he can go out and get drunk? Wow. Bet you love and respect him. Not.

YANBU

You are being unreasonable to not sort this out and moan about it though as you have choices.

Choosey- Really, stay for his kids? She can't, she has to put her kids first.

choosyfloosy · 12/12/2009 21:59

I don't think her kids would be that damaged by staying, compared to how damaged his kids will be if yet more stability disappears from their lives. If you take on a man you take on some responsibility to their kids, surely? I don't know if I could do it, though.

TBH I hope there is more to this than the OP is saying.

Sounds like he needs a foot up the arse, never mind a camera.

verytellytubby · 12/12/2009 22:24

Selfish wanker.

NightShoe · 12/12/2009 22:26

Tell him to fuck off and not let the door hit him in the arse on the way out.
