He gets what he wants

I think this is more of a vent than anything

There a lot of issues in my relationship, and everyday I’m struggling more, I plan on leaving but need time to get things in place.

He lies about the lost stupid things (and big things) but a few weeks ago he went on a lads weekend and invited me and the kids to go for a few hours (seaside) and then he would meet the boys later. I said no it’s a lads weekend you go angle enjoy yourself. Last week I made plans to go out for tea with a friend and he told the kids “mummy’s going out for ice cream and didn’t invite us” I told him that was unfair to do that and I wouldn’t expect to be invited out with him and his friends to which he relied I invited you to with the boys cos I’m kind like that and I just want to spend time with you,,,yesterday I saw a message on his phone from said friend and it was him that actually suggested me and the kids coming along for a couple of hours not my husband!!!!

He makes little digs a lot like nothing I do is quite good enough but then when I raise it he tells me it’s a joke and I’m just trying to cause an argument

He has a temper, a lot calmer now he on antidepressants but still loses his shit about the smallest thing. He has been a complete asshole to me and the kids in the past and said things I can’t forget and I still struggle with this now, sometimes I look at him and remember these things he said and I just really dislike him for it. I can’t get over it.

He’s very lazy when it comes to house and kids. He does not do anything in the house, he will cook if he has to if I’m at work for example but he doesn’t do anything otherwise. For example the kids wake up early and I get up with them which is fine, I signed up to this when I became a parent, but what pisses me off is the fact that when I’m knackered he says you should wake me (he knows that won’t) Iland he says I’ll get up in the morning,,but every time guaranteed he’ll hear the kids and say I’ll go...then continue to lay there,,,,so I go...then he says what you doing get back in bed.....then continues to lay there. And then doesn’t wake up till a couple of hours later. And even then he’ll come in and go oh sorry love I was going to get up, you go back to bed (I’m like no I’ve been awake hours I don’t want to go back to bed) so then he’ll go back to bed.

Yesterday I was seeing clients (home based beauty business) in between sorting the kids and blitzing the house. We currently live in a very hot country due to work so I was pouring, I was knackered. He said oh I might wash the car and I said let me just drive to the shop for some bleach and he said I’ll go. 20mins later not moved, still playing games on his phone, says again, I might wash the car, so I said I need bleach, again he said I’ll go. Another 30minutes passes (all the while I’m slogging my ass off scrubbing the house and he’s on his phone) still didn’t move so I got my shoes on and the car keys and he asks where you going I wanna reply the shop for some bleach....the cheeky f**er says oh will
You grab me some Vimto!!!

Constantly accusing me of fancying other people or sleeping with people etc. But says it in a jokey way so that makes it ok he’s not actually accusing me. It grinds me down and I feel guilty for something I haven’t actually done!!!

Groping - he gropes me constantly and it annoys me because he don’t ever touch me normally, if he touched my arm he’ll move his hand round to my breast, all contact is sexual and I just feel like a piece of meat.

He says really inappropriate things, he tells his work friends sexual things, like he might tell them we had sex the night before etc....
99.9% of his conversations are sex related in some way, all of his conversations with me are somehow sex related or he turns them into sexual innuendos. It’s exhausting. This and the groping is in front of the kids sometimes too which I repeatedly tel him I don’t like and is highly inappropriate. Eg, he cut his foot and said oh it’s a big gash. My middle girl age 8 said what’s gash,,,he replied when someone says get your gash out, they’re saying get your cut out!!!! He thought he was hilarious. I was furious and said why the hell do you feel this is ok to say?!!

I feel he doesn’t respect me or my wishes during sex or anything sex related. I really don’t enjoy it with him I don’t think he is very good at it. I tell him what I like and what I dont like but he doesn’t take it into consideration he just does what he likes (I feel he copies things he sees on porn vids) I tell him I dont enjoy anal but he still tries every time, I’m self conscious of my body so sometimes I don’t want to get my boobs out but he sulks until I do. Basically I am his toy and he does what ever he wants or he will sulk. I dont feel like I want to have sex with him. He said he wanted c*k ring and I said no I’m not interested in several occasions and he went ahead and ordered one anyway. This bothered me more of the fact that he just didn’t care that I’d said no he just did it anyway,,,like he does!!!

Sorry guys it was building up and I needed to get it out xx

So tonight got interesting. He took to me to work (I work in a bar) and in the way there kinda out of the blue he started telling me it’s my fault he hasn’t got a social life because I don’t want to mix with his work friends wives (I’ve never said I don’t) I said I would go. He was going to his friends tonight with the kids and he asked if I would go if I wasn’t working I said yes! But he starts having a go at me saying it’s my fault he hasn’t got a social life/ I’m always working, I work maybe 3 nights a week I don’t currently work through the day because I want to be there for my 3 kids. He didn’t tel me he was going to his friends house till 30 minutes before I was going to work so the kids weren’t ready to go. My daughter 11 years old called me at work and said daddy says you only care about work and you never get ya ready or anything!!! I literally do EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE!!! Then I receive this text from her!! I think I’m ready to go NOW

He gets what he wants

everythingbackbutyou · 11/09/2020 18:24

My ex used to be very similar. If I wanted an hour to myself out of the whole week he would say things to the kids like "Mummy's going out and she doesn't want you to come". Meanwhile he would come up with excuses to go out for a drive by himself all the bloody time e.g. 'necessary' trips to the hardware store half an hour away .All about trying to manipulate me and fuck the kids feelings. Everything came a distant second to himself. i wish you all the best in getting out. You will never regret it. Mine kept me blinded for years because I was too focussed on his words and declarations of love, instead of his actions which consistently showed the opposite.

Kabakofte · 11/09/2020 18:25

Go go go and don't look back!

newnameforthis123 · 11/09/2020 19:17

OMG those messages from your little girl. At least you can tell she knows it's bullshit but my god what a cunt he is using her like a pawn. Ugh. You need to leave and show your daughters this is a totally unacceptable way for a woman (or anyone) to be treated in a relationship. Google the shark cage analogy if you have a wobble - you're building theirs while they're young. You'd hate them to be treated like this.

Come on to MN if you want to read about the next generation of women in abusive relationships and their shit childhoods.

Really heartbreaking.

Brigante9 · 11/09/2020 23:40

Dear Lord, get out ASAP! He’s horrible!

HumptyD · 12/09/2020 00:09

God that message from your daughter would send me over the edge!! Reading a lot of it was like reading my life, particularly the weird touching but would never just come kiss or cuddle me or stroke my hair or anything small but if I’m doing the dishes or anything he will try put his hand down my top/trousers just anything and it makes me feel sick. So your not alone there, I think you have 10000% checked out of the relationship and although he tries his guilt trip ‘I couldn’t live without you’ well tough shit mate because it’s his fault you can easily live without him now. Get away before he tries to poison them little girls brains the big baby can’t accept it’s HIM you don’t love not them.

GoldfishParade · 12/09/2020 01:18

So you work on a bar AND you have a home based beauty business?

What does he do, does he work?

Hes an absolute twat. You sound great. Dont think twice, get rid.

KunekuneKristmasCake · 12/09/2020 01:42

Yeah, time to get rid

Annoyed90 · 12/09/2020 12:30

I’ve left him. It’s done. Thankyou everyone xxx

BlueThistles · 12/09/2020 23:35

are you Safe OP 🌺

MyOwnSummer · 13/09/2020 00:16

If a landlord needs to gain repossession of a house to live in it, depending on certain circumstances you can end the tenancy early. Its actually easier to do that than getting a tenant out to sell it, which falls under normal s21 process. Additionally, if you live in it prior to the sale you should usually be exempt from capital gains tax. Have a google...

Annoyed90 · 13/09/2020 05:50

MyOwnSummer thats very interesting thankyou I will absolutely have a look into that.
I’m safe, he’s been ok really, he’s very upset and begging me to try again or have marriage counselling but I’m not going to give in. I was feeling like I couldn’t carry on facing all the hurt last night and then he showed his colours again. He knows my daughter sent me the message about what he was saying and I asked him not to mention it to her as it will upset her,,,but he did when I wasn’t in the room. He said something along the lines of this wouldn’t be happening If you didn’t send that message to your mum, to which it broke her heart and she felt like it was all her fault! Needles to say he got what for and I spent an hour reassuring her it had nothing to do with that!

AnneOfAvonlea · 13/09/2020 06:04

Well done. Keep protecting yourself and your children now

Windmillwhirl · 13/09/2020 06:24

Wow, so proud of you, op. You are strong and you have shown your daughters that no one should accept c rap.

Your poor daughter. I'm glad you could reassure her.

He is an absolute idiot. Honestly, waiting till you left the room to have a dig. He thought it would stop your daughter repeating his nasty words in future but oh how that backfired.

I agree, you sound great, op. Keep moving forward!

Longdistance · 13/09/2020 06:32

Bloody hell! He’s a manipulative cunt isn’t he?
He chooses his audience to stir the shit and he’s lazy to boot. Awful awful man. You need to go grey rock on him. Marriage counselling, my arse! He’s the problem and it’s as clear as day. He needs booting out before he causes more emotional damage to your dc.

billy1966 · 13/09/2020 10:28

What an absolute horror of a man.

Could he make it clearer how little he cares for his child, than to blame her for what he did and try and burden her little shoulders with this.

What a poisonous bastard.

Your poor poor children being reared in that environment.

OP,
If you weaken and allow him back, you will be colluding with the emotional abuse of your children.

Don't try and believe otherwise.

Protect those poor children, finally.

Annoyed90 · 13/09/2020 11:11

I feel strong! I know I’m doing the right thing for me and my babies, and he strengthened that by doing what he did last night. I feel good and lighter

KittyKattyKate · 13/09/2020 11:39

Well done OP! Your life will improve TENFOLD without this dead weight around your neck. Your work will also lessen dramatically.

I am so pleased for you.

BlueThistles · 16/09/2020 22:13

How are you OP, all good yes 🌺

SoulofanAggron · 17/09/2020 00:49

Well done OP. What an arsehole. As you say, at least any time he does something twattish it's proof that you've done the right thing.
