Moved house 5 days ago I’ve had a migraine due to stress of it all and new job. Partners stressed as he’s working over time
In the evenings and weekends to save a client. I’ve hardly un packed until today although have been doing a bit each evening like half a box. I have also booked Tuesday off to crack on some more. As I’ve started a new job I’ve been knackered when i come home as well as making dinner. Partner gets home to late to really start cooking in the evenings. We are surrounded by boxes. I have way more boxes than him I admit that I will. He’s getting stressed out and can’t see why everything isn’t all away. when I say you haven’t done anything he keeps saying he hasn’t had time as he’s working which is true he’s currently working now. Am I not allowed some rest after work. He also keeps moving my stuff like today I had my foundation on the bathroom shelf he placed it on the floor so he could shave even though there’s plenty of other spaces to put. He hates things being on the window sill I had put a glass there as I had boxes on my side of the bed and didn’t want to knock it over. He put it on the floor said it can’t be on the window sill. I said just for one night until my bedside table turns up. He kept saying no as apparently it will become a habit of leaving it on the window sill. I put it back up there he said if I do it again he will throw the glass out the window. I said you wouldn’t do that to our new glasses so he did. And then told my I told him to do it. I don’t think this kind of behaviour is normal we got into an argument I started crying and hyper ventilating and was gagging as I couldn’t breathe or calm down he just told me to go upstairs as I’ve ruined his work I’m so upset he’s never been like this before we just brought a house together. I’m in bed crying

Run for the hill I get moving is stressful but why does he get to dictate where things go?

His reaction to you crying is also hugely concerning.

Of course he’s apologised. And no doubt he’ll do so next time and the time after that, until you learn to do as your told.

Seriously get out now.

This will not end well.
That is your house as well and if you NEED to put a glass on the windowsill until your bedside table arrives then you can.
It's just as much yours as his.
He does NOT get to dictate what goes where.
Honestly, this does not sound good OP.
You know what to do.

RabbitsAreTasty · 18/06/2018 14:17

He's going to your parents so he can chill after work while you do all the unpacking? Is that right? Get to fuck.

You will be putting a glass on that fecking windowsill from now to eternity right? If you don't you can't tell if he's serious about being sorry or if he's just sorry he had to get so rough before you behaved.

Hissy · 18/06/2018 14:25

ready to leave if I need to

You need to.

Trinity66 · 18/06/2018 14:25

Bloody hell, he sounds awful

Blackbird25 · 18/06/2018 15:10

We have no WiFi at home he’s got to work from home and can’t work at ours due to having no office or anything. I was meant to be going with him but as I get bus to work living at there’s makes my commute extra long. I don’t agree with what he’s done at all I have my own money I can leave when I want. I’m not making excuses for him but one mistake and that’s his last everyone gets one chance I’ve told him i no he’s stressed but I’m not his punch bag. I can’t begin to imagine what it’s like to be told Fox this or we loose the client and you all might loose your jobs

Blackbird, would you leave a glass on the windowsill again?

Mythologies · 18/06/2018 17:57

What Reclining said.

Hissy · 18/06/2018 18:07

can’t begin to imagine what it’s like to be told fix this or we lose the client and you all might lose your jobs

I can’t imagine being treated like this but someone who’s supposed to live and respect me as a partner and companion in life.

Oh wait... yes I can...

And I left his sorry fucking arse and never looked back.

You have NOTHING to lose by leaving him, and everything to gain.

This man has given himself permission to bully you and if you don’t tell him to fuck off, he will do it again and again and worse.

Tell him to stay where he is. You need to get your money back out and go.

HeebieJeebies456 · 18/06/2018 18:34

For now, how about you unpack only your stuff and leave his until he can do it himself?
As for the stuff on the windowsill , it's your house too and you can use your windowsill if you want-it's not getting in his way.

Honestly though, i couldn't be with a man who behaves like this whenever he feels stressed.

Blackbird25 · 18/06/2018 21:29

To be fair I used to leave stuff every where I used to have about 4 glasses around the house. I’m improving also that night it was two in the morning both of us had been on nights out

What a diiiiiiiiiick.

RecliningHenderson · 19/06/2018 14:15

So what if there are 4 glasses around the house? 2 in the morning makes it even weirder. Why worry about a glass at that time?

Honestly, if you wouldn’t leave a glass on the windowsill again ask yourself why. If it’s because you’d be scared of his reaction, then it will only get worse.

Blackbird, would you leave a glass on the windowsill again? Sad

He taught you a lesson, didn’t he.
