What's worst about your DH/DP/ex?

wobblyknicks · 14/11/2003 12:47

Loads of people (not just me!) seem to be going through really hard times with a partner or ex right now so thought it might be theraputic (!) to have somewhere to moan about the worst things they did and get it all out!! Come on let's have some Oprah moments!!!

And in case this looks sexist, men feel feel to post about your female partners too, just obviously I will be posting horrible things about a bloke - ok?

To start, I hate the way (ex)DH always used to say I was wrong or lying about something I was 100% sure of and he wouldn't even listen to my point of view about it. He'd just assume he was right and be so smug about it. Then on the rare times I could prove myself, he'd just act like I was overreacting and it didn't matter that he was wrong. Used to wind me up something rotten!!

Yay, don't have to take it anymore!!!

ex-nothing good about him except his genetic material provided me with 4 lovely children

dh-worst thing about him is his christmas cracker jokes, they get on my nerves.

My dh merily farts away all day. If I happen to let one go he shows genuine disgust. Snot fair!

jennyjen1982 · 14/11/2003 15:30

my ex never showed that he cared for me and dd, never wanted to play with her, feed her, change her etc. he never wanted to spend time with me, always ran off to his mothers on days off and then when i FINALLY leave him (last week) he breaks down in tears sobbing about how i am breaking his heart and tearing up the family!!! Now all of a sudden he is father of the Year and making all kinds of demands to see dd, when he could not of cared less before. (sorry, i really needed that)

sykes · 14/11/2003 15:47

So sorry, Jennyjen. Take care.

jennyjen1982 · 14/11/2003 15:55

thank you Sykes i am fine really just fancyed a little moan and spotted this thread!

sykes · 14/11/2003 15:58

You must be a very strong person. Hope your dd is well.

lilibet · 14/11/2003 15:58

Hope all goes weel Jennyjen, I left mine and its the best thing I ever did. Worst thing about ex hmmm, I could write something like watr and peace on that one, but one was even when we were 'happy' he used to walk out of the room when I was talking. If I asked him about it he would just say ' well, I wasn't interested' !!

Worst thing about dp.....erm......................erm..............
erm................... nope I'm pretty smitten actually. There must be something, erm..... ..........struggling here ....................................
I'll get back to you on that one!!

wilbur · 14/11/2003 16:02

Fair enough, jennyjen, I think you deserve a moan. My dh is really bad at doing when he has promised to do and is terrible with money - paying bills and or people back when he is supposed to. I pay all the bills now to avoid those late charges but I still get loads of calls to say that dh was supposed to send a cheque for X or Y and he never did. So embarrassing and drives me mad. It took him 2 years to sell his car, his life just, you know, coasts on by.

jennyjen1982 · 14/11/2003 16:03

i think its a case of having to be strong, but i can never get too down about things, i just look at dd and feel lucky

jennyjen1982 · 14/11/2003 16:05

oh he did that too, would say he paid the rent only to find out we are hundreds in arrears!!

fio2 · 14/11/2003 16:17

poor you jennyjen hope things get better soon.....

my dh farts when he coughs, and so does dd and ds!-must be genetic

Queenie · 14/11/2003 16:29

Worst thing about dh is HE NEVER LISTENS and then when he asks about something I have already told him he suggests it is me who thinks I told him and says all women who have had babies are forgetful. Wish I could forget I met him, so there!!

hopey · 14/11/2003 16:43

Ex-dp was always putting me down, which I have since put down to his own insecurities. I remember once him telling me I should lose weight as I didn't want to be the fattest mum in the playground. (Bearing in mind I was a size ten at the time, now an eight). Since he left I've had to deal with insecurities caused by him, and am paranoid about my weight. Nice guy eh!

rivig · 14/11/2003 16:44

worst thing about mine is I moan about various things he does/says but he never moans about me and it really annoys me because I feel bad that I find faults in him but after all these years he doesn't in me and I am far far far okay extremely distant from being perfect and so it makes me feel worse for seeing his faults but however much I try to hold my tongue I can't always stop eg when he doesn't wash the children properly and the next day I find yesterdays felt tip still on their hands - that's a minor example of his faults. (pause for breadth!)

Norma · 14/11/2003 17:55

He doesn't remember things properly and then swears on something that didn't happen.

zebra · 14/11/2003 18:54

He gets into the most uncommunicative, black mood sulks.

CountessDracula · 14/11/2003 19:23

His occasional "cardboard box" mentality. If he is feeling a bit miserable, anything vaguely bad that happens gets extrapolated until we end up in a cardboard box

eg washing machine broken, he will have to be late to work to wait for engineer, he will get fired, we will lose the house and end up in cardboard box on the streets... (hence my term cardboard box mentality)

Now as soon as he starts moaning I just say "yes I know we are going to be living in a cardboard box soon" and he shuts up

CountessDracula · 14/11/2003 19:24

Oh sorry, and the best - everything else (esp his arse)

magnum · 14/11/2003 19:33

How comes my dh never has a cold but always has 'flu'.

fisil · 14/11/2003 19:33

Worst: PS2 habit
Best: everything else

popsycal · 14/11/2003 19:36

worst: inability to see mess
best: puts up with me!

newgirl · 14/11/2003 21:22

worst: takes me for granted and doesn't listen to what i say

best: makes nice dinners

now that does sound sad
