Please tell me this isn't normal!
I've split with my partner nearly 2 weeks ago (his instigation but neither of us were happy). We have a 18mth old and I own the house. He is living here still as he has no money. He's waiting for me to get him some, as he put money in to this place and lots of work.
The reason for the split is lack of sex for him and for me, I think he's overbearing, makes digs at me and is negative, which makes me not want to have sex. It's a bit of a vicious circle as no sex makes him grumpier.
So that's the situation.
My issue is that he will make digs and be snappy with me and then say I'm over sensitive. He moans at me about the sex thing (despite us having gone over this and agreed to split) frequently during discussions about us splitting up (I think this is pointless as we are over). The next minute he's giving me a hug or kissing me. It's confusing the hell outta me.
I'm writing on here as he did it again. I'm in bed, he came upstairs and asked if I fancied a hug. I said ok then (I know, I should have said no) and rather than laying on top of the duvet and giving me a quick hug, he got in the bed and started stroking my back under my top. I have to admit I just held him and didn't reciprocate and instead started crying. I'm sad about all of this and that made me sadder. He asked why I was crying and I said it made me sad. He got affronted. I said didn't he think it was weird to cuddle like that after splitting. He just complained I didn't hug him back and I have no feelings.
I tried to explain that I think it's odd to be snappy, make digs (most of which I ignore but I don't like) and be mean, then to give me a long kiss (two nights ago) when we have broken up. He said he can't help it, he's permanently horny through lack of sex. I said that didn't matter and if he wanted sex or anything he should be looking elsewhere as we're not together now. He got huffy.
I want to keep things as civil as possible for my sons sake. They adore each other.
I'm right though aren't I? There should be boundaries now, shouldn't there?
He can't tell me, 8 hours ago, that he's angry with himself for staying with me so long, then expect cuddles?
This is hard anyway but he's making it harder.
Sorry. I'm aware this is a bit rambling but I'm in a bit of a muddle.
Oh and I didn't stop the kiss the other night, as I was too shocked and confused.
Help.
