Relationship? Or just a pile of shit?

So, I have been with my partner for 2 years, he moved in a year ago. The last 6 months have been awful. He doesn't communicate anymore as he is always "too tired, about to go to work, just got in from work ya de ya de ya de".

He does nothing around the house at all, just leaves a trail of destruction in his wake; for example, he will use an ear bud, walk around whilst doing so and then just drop it when he has finished with it or leave it on the bed/desk/kitchen worktop/where ever he might be. He has even pooed on the loo seat and not cleaned it up. It is not just a case of leaving wet towels on the bed, it is proper skank. Another example would be that the front of my house looks like something out of shameless as I am having a new kitchen and the skip was late so I trimmed all the grass, swept the drive, weeded etc to make it look a bit better. That evening he comes back and washes his van, smoking fags and jsut flicks them all over the front that I have just cleared up.

Yesterday I had a bit of a trauma as I lost my purse containing a lot of personal info and documents that I needed. I was going to the bank to pick up the cash to pay the builder and I couldn't withdraw the money as I lost my ID and bank cards on the way Blush So I called him and asked him if he could lend me the money for 5 days, until my cards came through, and it was jsut an outright no.

I know he is entitled to not lend me the money but considering the circumstances I cannot understand his lack of support. I would do that for any good friend of mine, no questions.

What with that and him generally being an offensive, moody, skanky, unsupportive prick, I think our relationship is dead in the water. Thoughts?

Get rid and fast!

Anniegetyourgun · 28/07/2012 11:34

Shit. Definitely. And literally, on occasions (eww).

saggyhairyarse · 28/07/2012 11:34

I agree. Chuck him out.

clam · 28/07/2012 11:36

And his good points are...?

AtLeastThatsWhatYouSaid · 28/07/2012 11:37

What is it that you find attractive about this man?

He has no respect for you.

He is not obliged to lend you the money but under the circumstances of you losing your purse, he lives in the house and your in a relationship, he should help you out.

Kick him out!

What a skanky prick!

wannabedomesticgoddess · 28/07/2012 11:38

Dead as a dodo.

He wouldnt lend you the money to pay for the kitchen HE uses aswell? if only to have somewhere to set his dirty ear bud

Get rid!!!!

AtLeastThatsWhatYouSaid · 28/07/2012 11:40

OP its only been 2 years, one year living together. Best to dump his smelly arse now before it gets to 5 years, 10 years even.

Be easier now than later!

HellonHeels · 28/07/2012 11:42

Eurgh! His behaviour is repellent and he doesn't sound like much of a partner to you. You can do way better than this.

puds11 · 28/07/2012 11:43

He sounds like a shit. Get rid lest ye be stuck with him forever.

Does he contribute anything constructive to the reationship? Sounds like he treats you like your his ma!

CuriousMama · 28/07/2012 11:43

Why do you need to ask exactly? Shock

saggyhairyarse · 28/07/2012 11:44

I need to hear this. Thank you.

I have obviously spoken to him about these things and he makes me out to be a petty fussy nagging fishwife.

When we were dating we would go out, have a laugh, watch films, chat, socialise, go away but he puts no effort in to the relationship. He expects to come home, go in the back room, sit on his computer and for me and the kids to be invisible.

Two other events really peed me off, we went to a gig and were having a lugh and he put his drink in his mouth and spat it in my face. He wasn't spitting in my face in an agressive manner, it was like a teenager prank. He fails to see why at nearly 40 I did not find this funny. On another occasion, his borthday, he got very drunk and I asked him to stay at his Mums as my kids were here and he started effing and blinding at me. Needless to say he did not come back whichw as the desired result, but he fails to see anyone elses perspective.

Jesus, I was nodding along for a bit thinking my partner is a bit similar, but that's taking it to a whole new level.

Get rid OP he sounds like a twat.

saggyhairyarse · 28/07/2012 11:45

He spat his drink in your face and swore at you? Get shot!

CuriousMama · 28/07/2012 11:47

So your kids witness this too?

CuriousMama · 28/07/2012 11:47

Meant dcs of course Wink

yellowraincoat · 28/07/2012 11:47

He spat his DRINK in your FACE?

OP. Please. Get rid of him today.

ImperialBlether · 28/07/2012 11:48

OP, he is a disgusting, vile person.

Leave him immediately. You are worth so much more than this.

CuriousMama · 28/07/2012 11:48

On second thoughts he's obviously a total charmer and a keeper Grin

Concentrateonthegood · 28/07/2012 11:49

You know what to do, OP.......

QuietTiger · 28/07/2012 11:49

Get rid. He's a cock-lodging skank.

HellonHeels · 28/07/2012 11:49

Bloody hell! Those further incidents you describe are final nails IMO. The drink in face thing, well you could see that as a childish prank which no doubt it how he explained it away, but the disrespect is awful :(

Also, he does not sound as though he's nice to your children at all.

pictish · 28/07/2012 11:52

Good god put this one to rest.
Free yourself of him asap.

You will be so much happier without him. He's minging.

AtLeastThatsWhatYouSaid · 28/07/2012 11:52

[Shock] How old is he? 10?

He thinks its funny to spit his drink in your face?

OMG you have to dump this idiot. Don't let your children think this is acceptable behaviour from a grown man towards their mother!
