Ok, I have posted before about the lack of trust in my marriage in that my H I believe does not trust me.
He accused me of having an affair in the Summer with with a male collegue, which there is no truth in. He feels a man and woman can not be friends.
He smokes a lot of cannabis daily and does not work, I support our whole household in every way.
I have been treating myself to new clothes for work and he has been saying " you look nice, almost like you are heading out rather than work", or in the mornings, " are you sure its work you are going to" making a joke out of it.
TBH I am tired of this marriage now, I feel like im moving on and he isn't, maybe it is me taking things the wrong way x

Just a complete mystery I guess. Nothing you can do about it.

FeckTheMagicDragon · 06/11/2014 22:09

erm, what is he contributing to this marriage? Does he make you happy? Does he support you? Make you laugh?

Or is he a dope smoking, possessive, cock lodger?

You only have one life.

What Feck says...

Coffeeinapapercup · 06/11/2014 22:15

Cannabis induces paranoia

moonshine123 · 06/11/2014 22:17

You know what you are probably right. I am so passive, and a complete door mat and I always have been more interested in keeping others happy rather than myself.

Suddenly I have been feeling very independent and I have realised I can do all the things I need to do alone, including the mortgage, expenses and keeping our daughter.

He is very good with our daughter though, which is one very good positive x

I haven't read any of your previous threads but it does sound as though he still doesn't trust you.
I think you both need to sit down and have a good heart to heart about it all... ask why he still feels this way, as without trust it can't work. Do you want it to work?
Bringing up sharing household duties.... that can come later, as the other issues have to be dealt with first

tiredvommachine · 06/11/2014 22:21

Very good with your daughter but smokes cannabis every day? Are you being serious?

BitOutOfPractice · 06/11/2014 22:26

Who pays for this weed?

moonshine123 · 06/11/2014 22:39

He pays for his own, I would never waste my hard earned cash on drugs, BUT had could and should be giving us the money he spends x

He will do the odd job for people handy person work etc, just nothing reliable or permanent x

RandomMess · 06/11/2014 22:50

So what does he do most days then, sit and smoke???

AnyFucker · 06/11/2014 22:54

You do fund the cannabis though, because you pay for the household to keep running which of course benefits him

LineRunner · 06/11/2014 22:58

Does he:

Act as your daughter's primary carer?
Do all the cleaning and laundry?
Shop and cook?
Make you laugh and feel loved?
Sort out appointments and school/nursery stuff?

moonshine123 · 06/11/2014 23:00

We share the caring, I do shopping, laundry and cleaning and organise school events and appointments etc. he can be loving but equally he can be very moody and childish x

What is the point of him?

AnyFucker · 06/11/2014 23:06

He is a Loser

That is all

tiredvommachine · 06/11/2014 23:09

You appear to be in denial about the drug use around your daughter. You are unbelievable OP.

LineRunner · 06/11/2014 23:21

I fear he has no real purpose other than to drag you down and your daughter too. This isn't a SAHP having a few tokes.

YouAreMyRain · 06/11/2014 23:23

And you are with him because...?

ladyblablah · 06/11/2014 23:30

Go with your new found 'freedom' feeling.

He is pointless

BitOutOfPractice · 07/11/2014 06:42

I bet if you kick him utthe only thing you'll notice different will be a sense of profound relief!

Are you really happy with a stoned no mark looking after your DD? I wouldn't be!

AttilaTheMeerkat · 07/11/2014 07:01

I was going to suggest his thoughts are due to cannabis induced paranoia.

Why have you been and continue to give this man any headspace at all?.
I doubt very much that he is actually any good with your DD at all because
he has The Loser written all over him.

What are you teaching your DD about relationships here?.

All this man is currently doing is dragging both you and your DD down with him. If your DD ended up with a man similar to her dad in future years, how would you feel about that?.

I also suggest you read up on co-dependency within relationships too.

43percentburnt · 07/11/2014 07:04

If you ask him to go expect crying, begging, pleading, calls of you being a bad mummy, threats to take your dd away. Prepare yourself for this nonsense now. It is because his meal ticket is going and he is going to have to stand on his own two feet.

The affair nonsense is either because he is having an affair, or to control what you are doing by accusing you, making you stop being friends with your male friend, thus isolating you further. He no doubt may worry he is going to lose his meal ticket. He may believe that women in ugly clothes will stay and support him as no man will be interested.

Over the summer did his accusations lead to you modifying your behaviour? Changing what you wore? Stopping you see your friends etc?

His life consists of: watching the telly, with heating on, food in his tummy, a free roof over his head, able to play with the kids when He fancies, have a bit of a strop if it's not to his liking, smoking pot when He wants. Wifey deals with all the boring stuff, employment, bills, appointments, toilet cleaning.

A good dad, bollocks is he. He is teaching you dd that her job in life is to slave away for 'her man'. While 'her man' rests, relaxes, indulges and enjoys life's pleasures. Good dad my arse.

You can do better op, but I promise you you won't ditch him without him clinging onto you with promises to change etc... You need to get prepared. Good luck op, your world should be better than this.
