i dont no what to do, we had a few troubles a while ao but everything has been good since. Im working fulltime at the mo and dh is unemployed. we have 2 dc
He forgot to sign on yesterday so i was very pissed off with him, still we ended up having an okish night just watching tv etc. Got in tonight, he hadn't made tea, didn't help with the kids (one is at school one goes to a childminder fulltime-i do all the drop off's and pickups) i ended up doing all the cooking and cleaning, sorted baths and put kids bed. I am so knackered atthe mo. I went bed at about 8, told him i wa getting an early night, tried give hima kiss but he just turned his face.
Anyway i got woken up at 1 by him making loads of noise downstairs, i went down and i asked him keep the noise down, he started ranting so i left him to it. i saw him drive off about 50 mins ago, i dont no where he's gone, if i should text him or just wait and see what happens. ive got be up for work again at 6, ive got go in as we need the money. Im such a mess.
Thanks for reading, i needed needed to tell someone.

Sounds a bit strange to me. What does he do during the day? Could he be getting bored and frustrated at being unemployed?

He's a complete fuckwit. Ditch him.

I'd like to say more but I have to sleep.

He sounds depressed. Has he been out of work long? Is he actively looking for work? Are finances ok? (sorry to be nosey) Why does the lo go to a childminder if your dh is at home all day? I would text him to put my mind at rest. Tell him you're worried about him because you love him. Ask him if he can help with supper and bedtime tomorrow because you want some time just with him and then see if you can gently persuade him to go to the drs. Sorry you're having such an awful time.

if he continually forgets to sign on , he will have his money stopped, I hope you know this.
I forgot one appt [not signing] and they 'lost' my file..still ot got my money...and then you cant use depression as why aren#t yu claiming ESA. etc
sorry

"forgot" to sign on ?

How is that possible ?

You need the money, right ?

If he isn't working, and you are, he should be contributing to the house/kids much much more than he is.

This is not acceptable and you need to find out why he is behaving like this.

If he is unwilling to discuss it, I would ask him to leave. You might as well, as he is contributing only stress and worry at the moment...you do everything anyway so what would you miss ?

Has he come back?

worldgonemad72 · 25/11/2010 19:12

sorry for not replying sooner, he didn't come back that night. I went work on tuesday and he was home when i got in. We've talked and he's said sorry for being such a knob. I dont know how he managed to forget signing on but he said he thought it was next week he had to go, he went yesterday to sort it out.
Our youngest goes to the childminders as he was on an agency for ages but just odd days here and there so i still needed her as we would of been stuck if he managed to get work. He's doing a training course at the mo and has made an appointment with the government business advisors as he's going self emplyed after christmas when he is qualified.
Money is v tight at the mo and our savings have disappeared as our bills are more each month than what we are getting.
Thanks for all your messages.
