Sorry wasn't sure whether to post here or in the relationship section but just wanted a rant. Just wondering if i was over reacting because of my hormones or i had a little right to be a bit upset. It is a long post too.

Me and my OH have been together for almost a year and a half- last year (october) i fell pregnant with twins unplanned but it made us move in together etc.
From the moment i found out i was pregnant i went mad buying absolutely everything bit by bit everything month to make it more affordable. Soon i realised i had bought everything for the twins and he hadn't given me a penny. My family started to comment jokingly how i let myself go (getting my hair done etc) but i told them my priorities had changed and i will sort myself out once the big things had been bought.
My OH went on his brothers stag last month and spent £400. 200 over the weekend and 200 in river island on new clothes.
I was keeping money aside each month to buy a pram which i could afford but by the time a month came where i could get it it had gone out of stock or discontinued everywhere and i just cried as now i'm left with a big bulky thing i'm not keen on because he didn't offer me money towards it.
I spoke to my mum and dad to let off steam to which my dad said "does he go in the baby room where does he think all the things have come from father christmas"

I let it go and asked whether he could just decorate the nursery for me instead i didn't want to ask my dad as he had a stroke last year but i could go into hospital at any time. He kept saying yes but never and in the end my dad did it Sad
I pay my mum £60 a month for vouchers so i'll have 675 for the twins for christmas.

He has only been to one scan my 12 week one despite the fact i get scanned fortnightly as twins are identical but i let it go because i knew "he'd be a good dad when they come along"

Last night he told me he was buying a new tele for our living room i just said if it's what you want get it. (We don't NEED a new one) While secretly annoyed as he's given me fuck all for the girls. He said it's on sale (big smile on his face) "it's 50 inches..... 50 inches" i don't particularly give a shit. Anyway once he'd gone to bed i looked at it on his laptop and it's over £500.

I can understand he won't come home with new clothes for the girls or anything new incase maybe i wouldn't like them but why can't he ask me when we're out shopping "do we need anything"

I just think he's selfish and i'm a mug.

Absolutely agree with ARV1981, some people need it spelled out. They also forget if not reminded, in my experience. Best thing to do is to sit down and lay out how you both expect things to work.

I'm struggling to talk to him at the moment as he's always too busy. He phoned me from work today i thought to see how my nidwife appointment went but it was to tell me that the tele had tried to be delivered and i wasn't in. I went for a sleep for a couple of hours this afternoon and by the time he was home he was faffing on the internet at his emails and said we could talk later but i'm getting tired now and don't want to be arguementative. I was sick earlier this morning and i'm not too sure whether i've started leaking also getting pains in tummy so i don't want to start getting stressed.

How are you feeling now Rebecca? I totally understand you not wanting to get stressed xx

Rebecca1608 · 22/05/2015 14:34

Ok thanks quite tired and sad but i've tried talking to him and he says we can talk about it again he's tired busy etc so no better off on the finance front told him i've found a well priced suitable pram that i prefer and fell on deaf ears but asked if i could stay in today all day to wait for his tele rather than go and spend the afternoon with family. I try talking to him about the babies and have a joke about how he will talk to them so much (as he is a proper chatter) and he just changes the conversation to who i think may get evicted from big brother and other stuff. I'm starting to think he's not interested in them Sad

I'm so sorry you're feeling like this. Flowers It's not what you need right now - you need him to be listening to you and putting both you and the girls first. You must be feeling so disappointed.

Thankyou just had a crappy day! Hormones everywhere. In bed with a cup of tea while OH downstairs. He's being such a selfish knob! Disappointed is an understatement. X
