Unsympathetic **** of a boyfriend 😡

So I'm going to rant because I don't know what to do anymore with my OH. We've lived together for 2 years now. I've basically been really ill for the past month; starting with flu, then turning into a chest infection and now I have glandular fever I've been signed off from work for 2 weeks and just can't do anything!! I went to hospital today for blood tests and was checked over again to see if everything was ok. I have a temp of 39 degrees and just feel crappy!!

Anyway OH just expects me to carry on as normal and if I ask him to do something for me for example cook dinner (it's the biggest problem in the world) slamming pots and pans about in the kitchen etc. He then threw a complete strop saying that he was going to watch what he wanted to watch on tv because I got to watch what I wanted all day (sounds like a 10 year old!) it then got to about 10pm I said I'm going up to bed he's going into the kitchen (where the back door is) and he turns to me and goes "well aren't you going to let the dog out then?" When he was by the back door anyway and I was over the other side of the house!! We then had a massive argument and he said that he's fed up with me being like this and moping about, when it's not that at all I've never been this ill and I've still tried to carry on as normal as I can!

So I'm now sat here in bed he's fallen asleep and I just keep snarling at him because of how much he's p me off!!!!

Is this just men in general or have I got an extra unsympathetic one!! 😡😡😡

Not all men are Ile this definitely.

A key under the mat is a very bad idea! First place burglers look!

I applause you wanting to leave him but the thought process seems a bit absent! Change locks, give key, leave it in a widget place etc.

I know you are ill but have you taken legal advice d and the house, key etc?

Please get proper legal advice and proceed legally.

If you really want to make a key available to him you can get a key lock box to leave kn the garden and send him the combination.

You can also investigate what @MotherofaSurvivor says.

I do wonder if not looking after you when ill would count for anything but emotionally controlling, abusive, threatening would and I can't remember now exactly what you said about his other behaviour.

I hope you are a bit better now, get fully well and get advice. Flowers

My ex husband was like that. Never lifting a finger and expecting me to do it all because his mummy had done everything for him.

DP now is totally different. Yes I cook almost every night but that's about all I do regularly. He changes/plays with/feeds DD. He does housework without being asked. It's very strange.

I'm very lazy with doing things around the house but that's because of the ex husband.
