Troubles with my partner

5 replies

lauren3296 · 06/03/2019 10:23

Me and my partner have been arguing for a few weeks now due to differences in opinion etc, he believes due to him having work he should help with our baby who's now 5 months during the night and hasn't done ever... it's come to breaking point and I don't know what to do! I feel so down and emotional 😭
He's never paid anything toward lo apart from maybe buying a box of milk and a filter for the prep and I'm on maternity pay and he asks me for money when he wants to go out! I've had it up to here with it all but when I try to confront him he just kicks off, I just need some support has anyone else been through this?

Op I am so sorry , I haven’t gone through this but he sounds like a bit of an arse to be honest.

Has he always been this way? Does he pay rent? Or any of the bills? Does he know he is a dad not a sperm donor?

It’s so sad for you and the child, that he is that way ... but he sounds like another child and hard work 😓 I do hope you don’t give him money to go out ( though may be better to have him out than in atmosphere wise ) x x

He asks you for money to go out when he doesn't pay towards his child's expenses and you aren't earning? What the fuck??

Honestly he sounds useless at best and abusive at worst. Do you give him money? Are you frightened when he kicks off? What's your housing situation and who is currently paying mortgage/rent/bills?

I think you need out of this relationship but the how and when might be affected by the answers above.

Tell him the cms will expect him to cough up....
I was also with a man child.
Op you have a baby, you haven't signed up to be dealing with a stroppy teen just yet.
Ltb - it won't get any better ime.

Sounds like you would be better off without him. Maybe ask MN to move this is relationships

Your relationship is not normal or good.
