DH just told me to go f**k myself...what a child!

Basically DH has apparently got himsef all excited about the fact that he recently beat some bloke at darts who is now in the final of 'THE DARTS@ on tv. When I told him I was not really that interested he went mad and said I was a really nasty person and to go fk myself.
Okay so maybe somebody else who actually gave a s
t would have 'congratulated' him. However, after spending all day cleaning, cooking and getting no recognition or thanks or even a remark on the roast chicken dinner that I slaved over, whilst he snoozed in front of the Darts on tv, I thought WTF.
Why should I kiss his arse and bow down to his obvious sporting prowess when I get absolutely no thanks or recognition for my own achievements?
He is now on his PC probably slagging me off to all his Facebook mates.

Sounds like you both hate each other?

MissTFied · 07/01/2011 22:45

I love the way you write accident!

I agree with you, btw.

accidentwaitingtohappen · 07/01/2011 22:53

No we don't hate each other...as such.
I just don't understand why, when he does something 'monumental' I am supposed to drop to me kness and bow to his superior accomplishments.
I do not see him kissing my feet when I am up to my elbows in toilet cleaner. So why is he getting all precsious?
Has informed me that all his mates think he is some kind of 'God' now re this Darts crap. But I am afraid I am left distincly cold.
I would have been far more impressed if he had offered to cook the f**king chicken dinner TBH

But where's the glory in that?

accidentwaitingtohappen · 07/01/2011 23:03

Where's the glory in what?

OP posts:
BluTac · 07/01/2011 23:04

I mean in housework and cooking. He probably thinks it does itself.

pink4ever · 07/01/2011 23:13

Who did he beat at the darts?(I am a big fan so would be impressedWink

accidentwaitingtohappen · 07/01/2011 23:16

What do you mean, no glory in housework?

He beat some bloke called Dean Winstanley, whoever he is.
Unfortunately I do not follow the Darts on Tv...too busy cleaning the bloody toilet.

Hmm. Well if my DH told me something like that I'd think it was pretty cool, and tell him so, even if it was a subject I had no interest in. That's part of a relationship, being interested in the other person and boosting their self esteem. So at first glance I thought you'd been quite rude to him TBH.

However, my DH also does that for me - he doesn't take me for granted, he appreciates everything I do and is proud of my achievements. It doesn't sound like your DH is holding up his half of the marriage :(

TheBigZing · 07/01/2011 23:23

I think you're both out of order.

Yes he needs to appreciate you more.

And you need to be a bit less ... rude. No wonder he doesn't feel lik showering you with appreciation and love when you are so openly hostile and show absolutely no interest in him.

Unless there's more to it and he's actually a prize dick who doesn't deserve you?

accidentwaitingtohappen · 07/01/2011 23:27

Maybe I show no interest in him, because he shows no interest in me?

Stop cleaning the bloody toilet and give him a hug!?

You could be the one who starts the reconciliation? Unless he's not worth reconciling with.

aurynne · 08/01/2011 01:24

I think you are both behaving like children and obviously you don't like each other the slightest bit. Why don't you just go your own ways and find someone else that respects you?

trulyscrummy · 10/01/2011 20:51

"Sporting prowess"? 'Fuck me' as G Ramsey might have said. He's proficient at a pub - based pastime, not a freaking athlete!

AnyFucker · 10/01/2011 20:54

just give him the bog brush and take up darts yourself

kitbit · 10/01/2011 20:56

Any sport that includes a pint and a fag isn't really worthy of being associated with the word "prowess"...surely?

But I think you both need to grow up a bit and stop the "why should I be nice, he/she needs to be nice first" thing tbh. You are adults.

AnyFucker · 10/01/2011 20:58

sound good to me Grin

I would feign interest, I'm an expert at it

maktaitai · 10/01/2011 21:01

Get a babysitter and go to the pub together? If you beat him at darts it will be white heat satisfaction Grin and if he beats you he will be in a great mood and you can shake on it and move on?

Just retort - if you were that good an aim, how come I am always cleaning the bloody toilet?

Or....

Well yes I did marry you because I had an amazing crush on Jockey Wilson, and you really reminded me of him.......

Or....

Give him his BFH......

Or all three - ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!!!!!!!!!!!

LET's ............PLAY ................DARTS!!!

2rebecca · 10/01/2011 21:25

If you want him to help more with the housework why don't you ask him/ tell him to do that instead of showing no interest in his hobby?
If my husband spoke to me like yours he would be cooking dinner and cleaning the house for the rest of the month if he wanted to remain married though.
I don't get why some women do all the housework and then moan or get unpleasant with their husband about unrelated stuff.
Just tell the bloke to help.

sheepgomeep · 11/01/2011 11:23

blimey. I have very little interest in darts but dp is a county player and has beat a few famous darts players in his time. But I just nod and smile and say thats great dear.

(and then go back to cleaning the bog Smile)

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 11/01/2011 11:25

You both sound awful - do you even like each other?
