Snakepit/Lifesteeth ..... here you are again. I don't know what to (keep) say(ing).
I am torn between typing something rude and horrid like "oh FFS, either put up and shut up, or actually bloody DO something about this loser" ......
..... but, on the other hand, I don't really want to do that because I figure that someone who repeatedly writes about her "partner's" faults, appearing to fully recognise that they are faults (very serious ones), as opposed, say, to someone with their rose tinted glasses on, must, have incredibly low self-confidence to continue to endure such a total lack of respect and consideration towards them. And obviously, I find that very sad indeed.
But ..... I will say - in the hope that if enough of us keep saying it for long enough, it might eventually prompt you to do the right thing - that Mr Halfords (where apparently the staff NEVER get bank holiday leave etc) is a complete and utter waste of space tosser and, unless you have done something very bad indeed in a past life, you do NOT deserve this. He's a liar, he belittles you - probably to make himself feel like Mr Big - wow, that's so impressive and mature, he's a selfish, whingeing, whining bastard, and a tight one at that. He dares to criticise you yet is happy to sponge off a single mother whose spare cash and emotional energy should be going towards her children, not this fucking joke of a man who has no conscience, no backbone, no integrity, no manners, no shame and no kindness within him.
If not for yourself, then please please please get rid for the sake of your kids. Do you want them to grow up believing this is how women should be treated ? Do you think it's right that the little money you have props this sad bullying little mummy's boy up when it could be spent treating the children instead ?
How you can think of going on holiday with him now is beyond me ...... maybe you think he'll be different in different surroundings, but he won't be, and somehow, it'll feel even worse, because, after all, holidays are "supposed" to be relaxing, and the stuff from which happy memories are made. Why can't you have a holiday on your own, with the children ? I bet ...... in light of all your posts about him failing to meet deadlines re: paying for the holiday, that you end up subbing him to a greater or lesser degree. And that means, swings and roundabouts style that your children will go without.
Do you think that without him you won't meet anyone "better" ? ..... if so, then that is so sad. I mean, let's face it, almost anyone would be better than him for a start - and actually being on your own for that matter and not having to suffer the indignity and injury of having the piss taken out of you on a regular basis (both literally, from tonight's post - and metaphorically with his general behaviour) would be a hundred times better than the perpetual shit you're putting up with.
