DH just walked out

We had another row. He left around 6.

Came back in briefly. Wouldn't take his jacket off when DD1 asked him to.

Said he'd 'Had enough of your (mine) shit' and walked back out.

Last week we had a row that went awry pretty badly.

I put some clothes out for him.

I'm sick his temper.

Of course, all the arguments are my fault. I don't listen. I talk over him. Etc. Etc.

Luckily tomorrow's my last day at work before the holidays so I'll be able to sort out childcare for hte new year.

But that's me single mum of 2 for now.

He wouldn't even talk to DD1. Of course, I'm sure that's my fault, too.

Oh sh*t

Poor you expat. I hope you are ok

expatinscotland · 18/12/2006 19:45

In situations like this, I'd normally be inclined to smoke, but not now.

I need to stay fit and healthy for my girls.

So very, very sorry

deaconblue · 18/12/2006 19:46

How horrible for you. Don't have any advice but am sending cyber hugs and invisible big glass of booze to you.....

Glassofwine · 18/12/2006 19:46

That's awfull - you sound resigned to it, how do you feel?

expatinscotland · 18/12/2006 19:46

C'est la vie.

You can't talk to him w/o his getting all heated. So why bother?

I'm so done w/all this.

I don't want my kids to grow up like this.

There was DD1 in the bath saying, 'Daddy shouts,' and 'Daddy left.'

Yep, pretty much.

I mean, what do you say to that? Merry Christmas?

thoughts are with you

GlennCloseAsCruellaDeVille · 18/12/2006 19:47

oh expat I'm sorry, I hope it isn't the end for you

expatinscotland · 18/12/2006 19:47

I'm pretty resigned to men being there for sex and sex only in my life, tbh.

I need to keep my cool, too, till the kids go down in a few minutes here.

Guess he came in to see how I was coping.

Well, needs must and all that.

expatinscotland · 18/12/2006 19:48

It's over, methinks.

We kept arguing.

It's always the same argument.

I'm sick of it.

Now I'm stuck in Edinburgh. LOL!

Oh, well, I can think of worse places.

I have read a lot of your contributions to other threads; enough to know that you will deal with your new situation with great common sense and wisdom. Good luck.

expatinscotland · 18/12/2006 19:49

Oh, well, less mess w/just us girls.

steffy1 · 18/12/2006 19:50

i know, sometimes it does feel like everytime you talk that you just shouldnt have bothered .

and in a way its better that you realise now that your child knows about daddy's moods-my children say that 'daddy is naughty isnt he'? and it breaks my heart. but i just dont have the strength.

anyway,back to you. chin up, be brave and all that-but remember what you're worth.

good luck

MerryMegandSnowySoph · 18/12/2006 19:51

Oh hun why the feck do men have to be such tits at times.

Have you tried relate yet or the scottish alternative if there is one??

Do you have anyone around up there near you?

about him not even talking to your DD thats just awful.

(((((hugs)))))

Oh bugger expat

what is the row? The one you always have?

FredBassett · 18/12/2006 19:54

Do you think he'll come back? More to the point - do you want him to come back?

idontlikecrusts · 18/12/2006 19:54

Oh expat I'm sorry to hear this.

I'll join you on the single parent bench as I've asked my dp to leave.

Feeling very sorry for myself but I can see the weight lifting.

x to a person who probably doesn't like xxxx's!

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 18/12/2006 19:55

Oh no expat. Sorry to hear your news.
Is it just a massive bad patch or do you really think this is it?
