Anyone around? DP being a Christmas twat.

So basically he's had a drink.
I gave my lads a bottle of Christmas j2O each as it's Christmas Eve (we have 4). Dp kicks off saying two of them were meant for his kids who come on Boxing Day. I say that his youngest wouldn't want it (as he well knows) and his eldest drinks beer (of which we have loads in). He carries on acting all depressed saying i said 2 bottles were for his kids??!! I even said I'll go to shop Boxing Day to buy more but he carried it on anyway.

Now, I've been promising my son I'd watch a movie with him before Christmas Day. I put this movie on today knowing it would be finished by 6pm. As it finished I went to see dp (who had refused to watch the film and instead wanted to play on battlefield) asking if he'd be joining me in the living room anytime soon as it was Christmas Eve and I'd like his company to which he replied "oh? Didn't realise you'd been dumped? I want to play battlefield anyway, after that I might come and sit with you".

Ffs same old story, he's bitter and twisted that I live with my kids and he doesn't. Christmas Eve and he wants an argument.

Bloody hell, OP - get rid of him. He sounds beyond awful.

hissingcat · 24/12/2014 19:11

sounds like he's the type who's behaviour will only get worse the more he gets away with it.
I wouldn't be happy about him ruining Christmas for my kids with his childish behaviour

Quitelikely · 24/12/2014 19:11

This type if behaviour would be a deal breaker for me.

God your kids must hate him.

Hissy · 24/12/2014 19:18

you do know this is as good as it's ever going to be, yeah?

bin this prick.

HanselandGretel · 24/12/2014 19:20

The honeymoon is over OP, I'd not have the likes of him around my kids.

Fairylea · 24/12/2014 19:23

Wow that sounds fun.

He clearly wants to be alone at christmas. So give him his wish. He can fuck right off and spent it being alone and you can have better Christmases with your dc.

SparkleZilla · 24/12/2014 19:26

Is there anything good in this relationship?

DraggingDownDownDown · 24/12/2014 19:36

I gather you lived together? If so whose house is it? If it is your's then I suggest that he leaves tonight to save your children having a crap day tomorrow as they will notice.

gamerchick · 24/12/2014 19:40

Why are you making your kids put up with this? Do you think they're not noticing the atmosphere in the house?

Go up to him now and get real close. In a low voice tell him to change his tune now or he can take a bag elsewhere because your and your kids Christmas is not going to be ruined because he's sulking.

Come on lass assert yourself.

IPeeInTheShowerOhYes · 24/12/2014 20:03

I agree with Gamerchick.
Tell him to shape up or ship out.

nozzz · 24/12/2014 21:19

What are you going to do about it OP?

FrogIsATwatInASantaHat · 24/12/2014 22:00

Yet another thread about this kind of behaviour. Get a backbone. Are you that desperate for male company that you will accept these crumbs?
As said by Allingoodfaith smile and wave. Come new year wave him goodbye.

rumred · 24/12/2014 22:10

It's hard when you're in the thick of it but sounds like you're ready to move on. Do some planning and get rid when it's the best time.
Hope you can enjoy the rest of your holidays. Ignoring him might help

WaltzingWithReindeers · 24/12/2014 22:22

OP , if you are the one who is always posting about this tool, please make it your NY resolution to GET RID once and for all x

simontowers2 · 24/12/2014 22:24

Here is my guess - OP you will stay with this bellend because he is an absolute god in bed. That must be it yeh?

rumred · 24/12/2014 22:26

I might be misunderstanding something, but op is asking for support not character assassination. Seems the perfect people are casting stones. It's rarely simple to leave a relationship. Even harder when harsh disapproval is coming your way

hiphoplollipop30 · 24/12/2014 22:37

He sounds bitter and twisted, a complete drain on you.

Do you intend to stay with him or do you think you will leave/do something drastic?

MinceSpy · 24/12/2014 22:38

OP seriously you can't put you or your children through any more of this abuse. Deal with Christmas then kick him out and protect your children.

Fanfeckintastic · 24/12/2014 22:51

Please get rid of this miserable prick

TendonQueen · 24/12/2014 22:55

Agree with getting rid. As the run-up to that I would just stop speaking to him or trying to interact with him at all now. It's clear he'll just use it to have a go. Is it your house he lives in, or is the house in joint names? If it's yours, I'd seriously consider telling him to go somewhere else and tell his kids to come and find him there on Boxing Day.

Jb291 · 24/12/2014 23:10

Grit your teeth if you can, take deep breaths and try to remain as calm as possible for the sake of the children. Then once the fuss over Christmas has died down, seriously think about whether you want to subject your children to any more of his vile poisonous behaviour. I would honestly get rid of him, there is no excuse for him treating you so poorly.

Russettbella1000 · 24/12/2014 23:20

He is a twat. You are allowing him to be a twat. Your children deserve better. Have an empowered 2015...

FrogIsATwatInASantaHat · 25/12/2014 01:44

Rumred. I think I have been harsh but i don't mean to assasinate ops character. I did 9 years of this shitty behaviour so I am not coming from a holier than thou angle.
Get rid.

rumred · 25/12/2014 03:03

I might have overstated it frog. Just know that it's hard to leave and want op to feel supported not judged.

HoldenCaulfield80 · 25/12/2014 03:08

What a nobber. Get rid!
