Husband

Does anyone else have a husband who seems to need meals cooking, washing cleaned and ironed, marital duties performed, and for you to be in awe of his every word, putting up with his grumpiness, swearing and bad moods, and still keeping the smile on your face at all times, enjoying all the sport he watches, while he is impervious to anything you might feel/want?

And PS if this is a genuine problem I would repost in 'relationships' with a 'better' title....

Not impressed. My dh has special needs, he needs meals cooking, washing cleaned and ironed, he needs help to bath and have his hair washed, he needs help dressing. He looks after our kids, helps in other ways that he can. He's funny, clever and kind. He's supportive and loving.
Now, sod off.

So, flippant offence aside....

This is not a playground. You received the types of replies because of the OP title and the situation you are allowing yourself to be in.

In answer to your question, no i don't. And if I thought/knew anyone that was in that type of relationship, I would think that he was an aresehole and that she was an utter mug.

P.S. I am the drama queen around these parts Wink

Hi there, thanks to those who reported this thread to us. We've now edited the title and have moved the thread into Relationships. Thanks.

Instead of going all passive aggressive on our arses (is that how you behave with him?) I suggest you start making some positive changes in your life

What a disaster of a thread. The OP is clearly at her wit's end, v unhappy, and put her foot in it by choosing a title which caused offence. I sincerely doubt she intended to offend and I think a hell of a lot of posters find offence in the manner of heat-seeking missiles

Can we not try to help the OP out a bit? Her marriage sounds miserable and she is here to ask for help. Don't let's punish her for her posting errors.

That old chestnut.
We wanted to be offended.

It's horrible being in a crap relationship. Many of us have been there.
It's not an excuse for being gob smackingly innapropriate.

OP if you are unhappy you have to change how you react to your OH.
You can't change him you can only change how you respond to him.
If he is an abusive bastard leave him.
If he is an immature and thoughtless twit try not running around after him and tell him why.
