Hi I would some advice.....

How would you feel if your partner was added into this WhatsApp group chat (just a group chat with his mates) and he was constantly on it texting laughing sending voice notes all just slagging eachother (typical men )to the point where he would go off on his own to a room in the house and just sit on his phone for hours ? He would ask to watch tv together he turns a film or whatever on then just sits on the phone .. it getting to the point where I cant deal with it anymore theres 3 kids involved he would the odd time take the 2 oldest out if he was going out but barely helps out with youngest, with him just sitting around doing nothing and then for him to most of the time to get up and leave and go out and just leave me here with the kids to come home and back on the phone his phones is never out of his face and hands ..am I wrong to be annoyed and what should I do?? I have talked to him about his numuros of times but just seems to go in one ear and out the other... 😔😔

Do his mates have children? If not then he is expecting to live the not-a-father-yet life with them. They won’t have realised he should be spending some more time with dc. It’s up to him to man up and put his phone in silent for a bit while he parents his own kids.

Do you know the groups wives and are on good terms with them? Just wondering how they feel. Especially if they have the same problem with their DH not nothing to parent his own kids?

One or two have kids and No I don't know the groups wives but I'm sure they are all on good terms too. He works most of the day and I understand he wants to relax when he comes in and I let him but I expect him to help out with the kids after but he rarely does then come night time when the kids are asleep I'd love nothing more than just the two of to sit and chat while we can but the phone gets in the way again....

So he ignores you and the dc. He has checked out of family life. Show him the door.
