That moment when ur partner and you have a abit of an argument and he then faces the other way in bed and puts his headphones in and watches something on his phone. Then I decide to put on my tv soap and not even a minute later he says as if u don't cause enough drama in your life and now u watch this. Opinions please.

I think that is a sad sign of how technology has screwed up modern relationsips

Doyoumind · 14/07/2018 23:01

You both need to grow up?

user1489269570 · 14/07/2018 23:05

Doyoumind..why on earth do I need to grow up? All I did was watch a tv programme and he says that to me....

Before he decided to do that I was just sitting there letting him watch his wheeler dealers

It's not the worst thing ever said in an argument.

Why has it particularly upset you?

Do you cause or attract drama?

Doyoumind · 14/07/2018 23:11

I'm just not sure why it's worth posting about. As Lastone said, it's not such a bad thing to say. It all sounds a bit petty unless there is a massive backstory. You have given no context. What do you want people to say to you?

user1489269570 · 14/07/2018 23:19

That wasn't apart of the argument. We had the argument, then he turned over and there I was minding my own business then he says that, feels like he just trying to make me feel small. He tells me and I expect him to be supportive during my labour (due any day) I said well don't then I don't need you and he says get on with it then and then calls me a bitch, well not being funny but if someone almost chucks it back in ur face about being supportive with their baby due what the hell do u think is going to come out my mouth!

So there is the context.

You are pregnant and hormonal. He sounds like a dick. If he's just called you a bitch I honestly don't understand why it's the comment about soaps that has upset you.

user1489269570 · 14/07/2018 23:23

There has been other stuff that has been said, I've posted because I wanted peoples opinions whether it's me being over sensitive and I'm going nuts or not.....

I agree it's strange that the drama comment upset you more than being called a bitch.

You put on a soap opera, he saw an opportunity for his killer witty put down, end of. To pick that one, yeah I would say oversensitive.

If you'd said he calls you a bitch I'd tell you that's unacceptable.

The whole thing sounds quite immature if I'm honest.

Doyoumind · 14/07/2018 23:30

I think it's very difficult to say what's going on from the information you've given but if you are having arguments and he regularly calls you a bitch and talks down to you, you should be thinking about getting out of this relationship.

Another thing last night, the curtains were left open and the fan (window also open) was on for the last few nights I've been getting up before I fall asleep and turn it off and close the curtains, I have a 18month old sleeping in here to. And the reason why I been doing that is because I was up at 4 in the morning a few nights before closing the curtain because of the bright light on top of having hardly any sleep going to the loo all the time or can't get comfy or the baby pushing on my nerves. Anyway I did that and got back into bed he then gets up and opens the curtains. I said are u taking the piss or what and he said no someone else is!

He has said my tears mean nothing to him. And no wonder why no1 wants to know you. Called me bitch face, he says he has to put up with me and my screaming kids in the morning.
That I am weak and have issues and I'm the problem.

He does sound selfish. At the very least there are issues in your relationship.

It seems like you are getting yourself wound up rather than communicating with him. It probably isn't helped by being pregnant.

You need to face the issues in your relationship and either try and sort them or split up.

Doyoumind · 14/07/2018 23:46

Your last post makes him sound abusive. I would give Women's Aid a call as soon as you get a chance.

Probably jealous of new baby coming? As selfish , hypocritical and seriously deluded men are!...it is a fact they can get jealous of their own child !
My EX was exactly the same and also there was a thread somewhere about OP DH/P was jealous of their baby!

user1489269570 · 14/07/2018 23:58

I know I have issues, self esteem, confidence. Anxiety, Poor body image, well it's to be expected considering I'm pregnant with my 5th kid I suppose lol I have 4 kids currently my eldest has behaviour problems and tends to shout abit when he gets angry. And when he is happy he is loud and babbles too. My set of twins,. The girl of that one is abit deaf and she wears hearing aids in both ears, so yeah guess there is abit of truth in what he said.
