dp is a PITA

last month dp said he wanted to get his best mate tickets to see fathless which was fine although i said he cant go on his own so he said get 2 and ill go aswell so i said ok and got the 2. i said would he mind if i went along if i got a babysitter and was told we dont have the money and it was just a night out for him and s. i understood this as its near his bday aswell. next thing i knew was i had to get 2 more tickets for his friends. anyway i let it go as it was a boys night out.

so last night they all went to the concert and i was stuck at home on my own all day (he had been at the football before) i said he should stay at s so he didnt wake me when he got home.

so today when i went to pick him up he has been a real grump and has been asleep on the couch pretty much since he got in. i just asked him what he wanted me to get him for his b-day and he took my head off saying to ask him tomorrow as he was tired.

i never spend any time with him hes either at work, football or asleep on the couch i think this is why we arent getting on very well.

sorry needed to moan

no you're not overreacting. your dp needs a rocket up his bottom. fair enough - we all need some time out, but it's not on to then be a grump all day the next day, having spent the entire day (and night) before doing exactly what he wanted, even if he tired. that effectively makes his one day 'off' from the kids into two.

do you ever go and do stuff on your own or is this a one way street?

sounds as though you need to do some stuff together to reconnect and communicate openly.

Starshaker,you've posted a fair bit about your bloke and tbh he sounds like a selfish arse.

Remembering what you said about him not wanting to come to your family's celebration of your birthday and not wanting you to go either in case it made him look bad.

Bloody hell...

Why are men such teenagers sometimes? I mean, grow up and stop being so self obsessed!

Poor you.

yeah i have made so many sacrifices

moved away from friends and family
stopped working in the hotel (i loved that job but dd comes first)
going out
having a life
i could go on

and he has sacrificed nothing since dd has come along

its always got to be about him

Easy? Doesn't sound easy to me.

Sounds like you have 2 kids on your hands.

speak to CAB/benefits office, get advice as to what would happen financially if you did split. given that you aren't married, he is NOT going to get custody of your daughter.

please try and preserve ties with your family/friends, and if you have been isolated from them, get back in touch. this guy sounds like bad news.

Feistybird · 05/12/2005 09:02

D'you love him?
D'you think he loves you?

Poor you. There is help and advice available. He is just trying to intimidate and control you - I think it would be very unlikely for you to lose custody of your daughter! I hope you have family or friends who you can go to for support.
