sulking boyf

[nikcola]

yesterday we bought 4 new doors for the flat wich cost £100 my boyf is a mechanic and a very good one but he also thinks that he can do everything else, after 2 solid days of triming the doors they still dont fit so i rang my friend whose dad is a chippy and he said he will do them next sat for £80 my boyf is now suliking in the front room and wont talk to me surelly after 2 days of trying he wants to give up and leave it to the pros ?

I'm sure it's some macho thing that only another man could understand - hunter/warrior crap. You've now introduced another male into the pack and he no longer feels the alpha male.
At least he tried, in our house dh leaves all that sort of stuff to me as he's not very good with his hands ooer!

yeh but he is also moaning about the money i think that £80 aint bad for getting 4 doors fitted, he is one of these people that dont like paying for things he thinks he can do everything his self wich he cant we have had the tiles for the bathroom in the cubard for a year and when i say lets get a tiller to do the bathroom he says no i can do it

I too always say i would prefer to do stuff tosave money but then faced with actually doing it then call in the experts (which dh isnt).

Can you cancel up until Friday? Give him until then to do them. If he doesn't get them done, keep the appt.

oh i dont no its taking me ages getting the bits of wood out the carpet, how hard can it be he keeps blaming it on the tools

Tell him £80 is 20 less than it would cost if he has to replace all the doors again because he has mucked them up and made them all wonky.

i told him that and he just walked out, errrrrrrrrrrrrrr i just want to strangle him the flat is a tip dd ans splinterrs in her feet and the isnt even one door up whats the point. i wouldnt even attepmt to fix my ownm car(if i had one) so why does he thing he can do everything im so pi**ED off right now i even canncelled my girls night out tomori=ow to put some money towads the carpenters money i need a drink

he can f**K off if he thinks im gonna let him tile the bathroom

i am noe in tears because um scick of all the mess how sad am i

i ment im now in tears cause im sick of all the mess

awww nikcola, don't be upset

If you lived near me, I'd send my DP round while yours is out to fit them for you and you could say the door fairy did them

Thankfully mine is good at things like this as well as electrical & plumbing, but there's no way he would even look under the bonnet of a car cause he knows he wouldn't have a clue lol

Hope things brighten up soon for you hugs

thank you its funny aint it how the little things, upset u so much i am one of these people who cant stand mess!! i am now drinking archers and coke(no lemonade!) to calm me down see hes drove me to drink i hardly ever drink

Tell you what, I'll run to the shop and get some lemonade and I'll come up yours, share that bottle with you, then between us we'll get the doors done and your house all spick & span

Wish I really could

i wish u could too ;(

Hanging doors is a real b*ger IMO having replaced four of them in our last place ? I'd always leave it to someone who knows what he's doing. Sorry your boyf is being such a tt about it though.

Find a way to boost his ego and then get someone in to do the doors alternatively try to do it yourself and make him feel so guilty or so determined that you won't do it when he can't he'll get someone in

we arggued all bloody nite and he made me cancell the chippy, so he has got one last chance and guess wot he is still in bed, he goes back to work on tuesday and god help him ther better be at least 2 put up by then or else

wa hey we have two doors up now i have to eat humbble pie and be nice to him,

Well, at least you've got doors. Bummer about being nice though

i no nut im good at pretending the doors dont look too good a bit lopsided, but im not gonna say a word

Congrats!

thank you

ive got the easy job of painting them now that i can do myself
