Hands down I'm with a man child. Obviously everything wrong with the relationship is somehow my problem or my issue. I didn't notice his ridiculous over the top man-child behaviour until we had a child. Because of the hours we both worked we spent little time together that wasn't fun socialising. Well now covid has put paid to that, I've had a baby and been on maternity, I'm fairly certain my body has clamped shut and is just repulsed by the mere thought of his repugnant self, moaning daily about something or other and being generally self righteous or hurt if I point out any shortcomings (and there are tonnes). I honestly feel I've walked into some messed up time warp and I'm living in a 1950s/current day nightmare mash up! Even his mum has weighed in on a couple of things and yet when I change my plans to accommodate the petulant man-child he didn't actually want to do what he fought for. He just wanted to look like father of the bloody year and me the ogre. I've just spent 2.5 hours settling our baby back to sleep and he couldn't even be bothered to assist. He never does and has never helped even though he told me all the things he'd do with the baby he's done nothing.
Thank goodness I'm back at work and earning full again. I'm going to need it when this wendy house castle comes crashing down.

Is there anything more repulsive than a man-child?
