Dp has just had a go at my this evening for an incident that happened this morning where HE jumped on the bonnet of MY car as I was rolling down the drive to go somewhere. I had the kids in with me who saw all this. I got to the bottom of the drive and stopped and motioned for him to get off, which he did and I carried on driving.

Tonight he started a viscous argument where he had the audacity to blame me for going too fast while he was on my bonnet. WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK get on the bonnet of a moving car in the first place - freaking out a mother of 2 small kids, and being a terrible role model in terms of safe behaviour?????

No discussion needed; he's an utter twat.

midlifehope · 11/02/2017 21:41

Just need confirmation as he's trying to make me feel bad about the incident. The psychologist in me would say he was trying to block / delay us leaving as I told him I was in a rush to leave to meet a friend and was already a little late.

The psychologist in me would say that he's an unstable individual with no respect for you or the children

Foxysoxy01 · 11/02/2017 21:53

I would say he probably needs some sort of psychological help tbh!

Who thinks it's a good idea to jump on a moving bonnet of a car Confused

kittybiscuits · 11/02/2017 21:54

A person with shit for brains?

Badcat666 · 11/02/2017 21:55

Did he think he was in an 80's action movie? There was lots of "jumping onto bonnets" back then.

He is not a twat. He is a twunt.

PidgeyfinderGeneral · 11/02/2017 21:56

VERDICT: Twat.

seven201 · 11/02/2017 22:00

Why the hell did he get on the bonnet? I am picturing him as Bruce Willis btw

midlifehope · 11/02/2017 22:01

Hah 80s movie sums it up. Grrrrrrrrr. I'm annoyed that he is blaming me. He has stormed off to bed in a huff after saying I could have killed HIM? WTAF? Angry

Why did he get onto the bonnet? And why did you not immediately stop when someone mounted your bonnet?

Huskylover1 · 11/02/2017 22:04

Why? Just why???????????????????

memyselfandaye · 11/02/2017 22:04

The twat in me would have put my foot down then slammed the brakes on.

midlifehope · 11/02/2017 22:05

I felt like he was controlling me / making me stop - I did stop at the bottom of the drive.

What the fucking hell was he doing jumping on the bonnet? Is he usually given to these displays of histrionics?

AyeAmarok · 11/02/2017 22:09

Twat or not (he is),

I think maybe this relationship is long past its sell-by date.

midlifehope · 11/02/2017 22:09

creatureofthenight: yes.

Why was he jumping on the bonnet? Ill advised joke, sobbing attempt to stop you leaving, furious anger, what?

Sherlock35 · 11/02/2017 22:10

This is just fucking nuts. Is he on glue?

midlifehope · 11/02/2017 22:11

he would claim it's just a joke.... I believe there's more to it.

stubbornstains · 11/02/2017 22:14

Has he been to see Trainspotting 2 recently? Was he being chased by a diminutive Scottish psychopath with a knife, by any chance? Grin

DeterminedToChange · 11/02/2017 22:16

He's a complete and utter nutcase.

cdtaylornats · 11/02/2017 22:25

Did he jump on the bonnet to avoid being run over?

HappyJanuary · 11/02/2017 22:27

I guess I can imagine it being done as a joke as the car is virtually stationary on the driveway then being a bit horrified that the driver is not stopping and is in fact accelerating. Why didn't you stop?

NotInMyBackYard1 · 11/02/2017 22:29

Is he mentally unstable normally?
