Pregnant & p*ss*d off with partner being a total knob - need to vom into cyberspace!

[georgethecat]

25 wks pg & partner decided to go to college which I was supportive of as long as he paid a token £300/month towards mortgage & bills - easily covered by one shift a week. I work a good job & cover majority of payments but can't afford to go without his money.

He has now lost his part time job due to gross misconduct, stopped his direct debit to me, is showing no sense of responsibility or interest towards coming baby & has the cheek to berate me that the house isnt looking so tidy & taking out misfortune on me.

The upshot is if I cant save enough money, I cant have a year off with my baby.

I am so f*cked off with him, I was fantasising about punching him in the face last night!

P.s. I know this is hormones, I'm just sick of being the grown up all the time.

I am unaffected by your hormones and can say, categorically and on the evidence in your OP, he is being a twat.

Don't punch him in the face, put itching powder in his pants. And lock him the fuck out till he finds another job.

I'm also failing to see what part of this is unreasonable or due to hormones. He fucked up at work pretty badly to get fired for gross misconduct.

If you work fulltime and he's at college, I also fail to see how a tidy house is down to you alone.

He needs to shape up or ship out. You will find it even harder to deal with his shit when you have the baby, if he doesn't get it together - an overgrown baby loses all his charm when a real one is right there genuinely needing you. I suggest you insist he starts pulling his weight.

Yep, give him his marching orders and tell him to come back when he's got a job, coz a man with no money is easily replaced with tax credits and tax credits don't moan at you.

you don't need another baby.

just wanted to add that a classic time for domestic abuse to start is when a women is pregnant or has just had a baby - he didn't wait long did he

Forget your hormones. This man is acting like a grade A twat.

Can he actually hear the words that are coming out of his mouth? Does he think that acting like a stroppy three year old is preparing you for motherhood?

He sounds like an immature, irresponsible, idiot.

So when did he decide to go to college? After you got pg? And now he's been fired from a p/time job for gross misconduct.

Sounds as if he can't bear the thought of not being the centre of attention which doesn't bode well for the future.

As NSASMN has suggested, give him the order of the boot, replace him with tax credits, and enjoy your first year of motherhood. Men are like buses - miss one and there'll always be another.

Agree with other posters, what a prize Pratt!

What a twat!

Thanks guys, yea he is being a total bender. Thanks for listening to my cyber vomit. He won't get away with it, he needs to man up. Just needed to gather my thoughts before laying down the line xxx
