Had enough of him!

Dh is absolutely doing my nut in! Angry
I’m 6m pregnant, he’s now got a cold we all went for a Covid test this afternoon & awaiting results. He’s mopping around like a child! Basically we’ve just had a argument because finally after the kids went to bed I slobbed myself on the sofa from such a hectic day, he then has the cheek to ask me to go and get him a drink from the kitchen! I said no, he then asked me again after a few mins, I again said no. He then said okay get it in 5/10mins, I said no! He then got in a mood and went and got it himself and now before me coming up to bed I had my meds, left his out too and he said he’s not having them because I didn’t get him a drink!
I mean was AIBU? Or is he just being pathetic!
Arghhhh! I just told him to grow the F**k up and came to bed!

If that’s the way he’s behaving with you pregnant heaven help him once the baby arrives and you are dealing with a newborn. He’s clearly a complete arse, you are not his servant, To refuse to take his own medication is beyond petty and designed to manipulate you further.
I’m assuming this isn’t the first time he’s behaved like a complete and utter a hole?

Mumofoneandanotherontheway · 01/01/2021 22:42

Digitalchristmas nope not the first time either!
I have over the recent years put my foot down, we have young kids too which I have to deal with so don’t expect to mother him too! I left him to it and came to bed, medicine is for his own benefit! If he doesn’t take it it’s his loss! Before me settling down on the sofa he even asked me to cut him an apple, as I was up & about I done it....! But wtf!

Sounds pathetic, manipulative and very man-child like. You're pregnant - he should be stepping up for you.

DigitalChristmas · 01/01/2021 22:55

You poor thing, if anyone should be looking after anyone it’s him looking after you to allow you to rest when you are able to. It would be a little different if he wasn’t a man child the rest of the time you might be a bit more inclined to care for him with his current “illness”
Do you want to stay with him?

Before me settling down on the sofa he even asked me to cut him an apple

Is he a toddler?? does he insist mummy makes him sandwiches and cut them into iddy biddy triangles too??

Honestly OP he sounds dreadful. He's probably sat there waiting for you to spoon feed him his medicine.

Yuck.

Closetbeanmuncher · 01/01/2021 23:03

Sorry OP I know you're probably really pissed off right now but I my have actual footage of him..

Had enough of him!
Closetbeanmuncher · 01/01/2021 23:06

I hope he pulls his socks up truly, because someone like that would irritate the shit out of me, pregnant and ill no bloody chance.

soopedup · 01/01/2021 23:07

Giant man baby. He wants to be mothered. Sickening and pathetic. How you can want to even look at a pathetic man like that I don’t know!

Mumofoneandanotherontheway · 01/01/2021 23:19

All your replies Grin LOL!
He’s now come to bed, unsure if he had his meds or not!
He’s very much so a man child! He was a only child of a single mum so was mothered 24/7!
Yes he’s useless majority of the time but when he helps, he goes all out if you get what I mean! I’m an utter mug Confused

This grown man you're having a child with isn't taking HIS prescribed medication because YOU didn't bring him a drink to take it with?

Jesus fucking Christ he sounds insufferably stupid as well as lazy.

Mumofoneandanotherontheway · 01/01/2021 23:27

He’s definitely LAZY! Can’t deny that!

WunWun · 01/01/2021 23:29

I don't get why he would think you'd get up and make him a drink?

Vitaminsss · 01/01/2021 23:29

This would give me the ick

youvegottenminuteslynn · 01/01/2021 23:31

Do you not tell him he treats you like you're a mug?

Do you not tell him it's really embarrassing for a man to be so pathetic especially when their partner is pregnant?

Do you not tell him that a grown adult asking another adult to cut up a piece of fruit for them is not just lazy it's laughable?

I know it's not helpful now but why have you chosen to repeatedly allow this man to prove how selfish a partner he is by having more children with him?

Mumofoneandanotherontheway · 01/01/2021 23:32

WunWun exactly my point! I mean he has legs ffs so go and get it! Then he had the cheek to say to me but I’m ill, if I wasn’t I would just get it but I’m not well! He always over reacts when he’s sick, but I was just fuming today!
