Just a bit of a moan (and a small cry)

I'm 38 weeks pregnant, tired and hormonal so I probably am massively overreacting.

DP has gone out for drinks with girls he used to work with.
He text at 10:30 to say he was just waiting for a taxi. Still hasn't left. He always does this.

I guess maybe I'm just being jealous that I can't go out too, but I feel really sad about the whole thing and annoyed that he hasn't managed my expectations more than anything.

Sorry, not massively looking for advice I guess, just needed to type it out!

I could have written magic Draco posts myself. I had this for over 30 years .

What a waste.

It was a horrible, horrible way to live and the more babies I had the more tied I was the more he could do it.

Yes I do believe it was a power thing.
This was before mobiles even, but yes he could have used the house phone and yes I could have gone to bedbug I'd be thinking he would be in soon and he never was of course.

The worst time was when I had pneumonia when my babies were little. Course it hadn't been diagnosed then I was just seriously I'll and I begged him not to go out as I desperately needed to rest and didn't need to get out of bed.

I wish you could have witnessed the nasty, selfish boorish words that came from him because he had to stop in and look after his children.

I ended up in hospital for two weeks after that!

I put up with situations like that for the best part of 30 years.

Oh he had a nice, kind generous side too.

Trouble is it blind sides you to what they are really like.

Was that 10-30 this morning?

This is a very sad thread to read

Op sounds lovely. Like a lovely doormat.

This man will not step up when the baby comes. He has effectively got carte blanche to do what the fuck he likes already, and Op being stuck at home with a newborn is not going to help.

It's just a matter of time before he accidentally falls into another vagina. Because he can, and he has no respect for the mother of his child. If he hasn't done it already.
