Hello. I am hurt and confused and same time i wonder if he is right and it all happens because i am selfish and high maintenance as he claims
I am with DP for nearly two years.
Since i met him i always supported him with his issues. And he has many, real or perceived (in my opinion). He gets upset with work,with his landlord, his neighbor, with his boss, his family , money situations, it can be anything. He will always come and tell me about it, i think is a way to vent the stress. I will stay and listen to him hours at a time and he never seems appreciative. I dont expect thank you, i am happy to help but he will always turn and say that i do nothing for him or get upset if i offer a different perspective than his.
On the other hand i rarely bother him with my issues, it seems as he is having enough without mine. The last week many things happened in my life and i am a bit distressed. Today the car broke down and it will cost a lot of money to repair but i will have to because otherwise i can not work. I usually dont get upset over things like that but on top of everything else it just all got too much. I tried to talk to him just to get some emotional support (i guess i was expecting him for once to do what i do for him for two years now) but he seemed uninterested. He only told me that the mechanic is probably a scammer and how his aunt got ripped off by one . And that he is sorry .Then he started telling me about his work issues again.I told him that i am a bit depressed today but he seem so uninterested and he answered that he is not a woman and he can not reply the way i perceive right. Then he made a funny voice saying "i am so sorry" mimicking how a woman would respond and laughing. He said that is all in my head and he is a man and he will use logic to respond . And that i dont care about his problems and i project this to him and i think that he doesnt care either Confused
i know that i am emotional today , but is it too much to expect from him for once what i do for him constantly for two years?

Another abusive twat

Bin him, op. This relationship is one sided and you pandering to this arrogant dickhead will only make him despise you more

TheNaze73 · 17/08/2017 18:23

Ask him to shut the fuck up.

Bin him, you're getting nothing from this.

I will translate this for you...

he answered that he is a self-obsessed cunt and he can not reply the way any normal person with an ounce of humanity would perceive right. Then he made a not very funny, spiteful voice saying "i am so sorry" mimicking how a woman would respond and laughing. He said that is all in my head and he is a twat and therefore will use mindless twattiness to respond to anything which isn't totally focused on him and his own needs

I hope this helps you along the road of deleting this utter wanker from your life and finding much nicer people to spend your time with :)

Why are you wasting your time with this worthless fuckwit? How can you not see that you would be 100% happier without this asshole in your life?

Sistersofmercy101 · 17/08/2017 18:57

OP you sound like a decent caring individual, who believes that naturally that's the default for people, and mostly you'd be right - except, I'm afraid that this PERSON is a narcissistic-misogynistic-using -borderline-emotionally-abusive ass.
He is counting on your caring decent nature and emotionally healthy empathy to facilitate what he needs and wants. He's not normal, he's not right and YANBU.

Ditch that selfish loser fast.

Offred · 17/08/2017 20:34

Eh? So how is 'my aunt got ripped off by a mechanic so your mechanic is scamming you!' Logic? That's an emotional reaction designed to make it clear you are not to ask him for comfort, he finds it annoying and wanted to be mean.

He's a sexist dick. He expects to take and not give because he thinks men are better than women.

Regularsizedrudy · 17/08/2017 22:25

You sound kind, intelligent, and thoughtful. He's sounds like a dick. Couples in healthy relationships want to support each other, it shouldn't be a chore. Oh and claiming he couldn't possibly understand cos he's not ~a woman~ is grosssssss.

Joysmum · 17/08/2017 22:28

You aren't a generic woman you are YOU.

If he can't be arsed to try to understand your needs and meet them, he's not worth wasting the rest of your life on.
