Id cleaned the whole kitchen and been to my sisters for Sunday lunch
Came home had another little tidy round then oh came home from his brothers with a takeaway (smelly chip shop curry) ate it then left his plate in the kitchen still with curry on stinkin the kitchen out presumably for me to wash.
I said are you going to wash your plate as ive cleaned the kitchen up,
He smirked then pretended to slap my face then he proceeded to rinse the plate in cold water.
I said u need hot water & soap, so he turned the hot on rinsed it and left it still in the sink.

The plate is annoying but I'd be mostly concerned about pretending to slap your face, what the hell???

PriestessofPing · 12/04/2021 09:37

Why did he pretend to slap your face? How much housework does he normally do?

Newusertothis · 12/04/2021 09:38

@PriestessofPing @roastpotatoesss he always does it he thinks its funny
He pretends to point at some saying whats that and softly or sometimes misses a slap
Never hard or an actual slap
He does it to dc thinking its hilarious
He does no housework

He does it to your children?? That is horrendous.

The no housework is clearly indicative of a bigger issue- he's a twat.

sosickofthisshit · 12/04/2021 09:42

I'd have thrown the disrespectful fucker out

NailsNeedDoing · 12/04/2021 09:45

It’s really weird that he thinks that’s funny. It’s not, it’s disrespectful and kind of creepy. I’d have a much bigger problem with that, and his smirky attitude than I would with him just leaving his plate in the sink. Him leaving his plate in the sink is forgivable, I’m sure we all do that sometimes when we can’t be bothered. But the way he did it, deliberately wrong so that you can’t complain that he didn’t do it, but badly enough that you’d have to do it again anyway, that’s just nasty manipulative behaviour.

Youre the woman in the house, therefore you are sole domestic duty provider, he's just making sure you know your place Angry.
Clearly a sexist relic of the past, but you probably know this already as you've let him get away with no housework for yearsShock.
Just a thought, as I'm sure you're not going to ltb over a plate, but if you did, how useless would he be on his own? I hope you don't have to work too, but it would not surprise me if you do.

harknesswitch · 12/04/2021 10:01

Why is he not an ex

Shoxfordian · 12/04/2021 10:04

He sounds like a knob

Why are you with this misogynist? Your children will learn that this is how men treat women.

Unanananana · 12/04/2021 10:20

The 1950s called, they want their attitude back.

He sounds like a twat. Bin him and your life will be infinitately improved. You are worth more than this.

OldEvilOwl · 12/04/2021 10:27

He's telling you that its your job to clean up after him. You ok with that?

billy1966 · 12/04/2021 10:37

What a disrespectful pig.

Your poor children.

He sounds really awful.

Pretending to slap your face.

Unbelievable.

I wouldn't want such an awful excuse around my children.

Pretending to assault you?

Really OP?
Not good.
Not funny.

Ring Women's Aid and see what they think.

Aprilshowersandhail · 12/04/2021 10:39

Grab his balls and twist. Make sure to smile throughout..

JensonsAcolyte · 12/04/2021 10:43

My ex used to pretend to slap me. It soon escalated to actual slaps, and then punches.

He would ‘play fight’ as well, with me and the kids. It always hurt but was always a joke and I was being too sensitive. I left when my eldest was three, so he was play fighting with tiny toddlers to the point of tears.

Cunt.

We left and haven’t seen him since, kids now pretty much adults.

I recognise so many warning signs in your post.

sugarapplelane · 12/04/2021 10:51

Your OH sounds like a right catch!!!!

KirstenBlest · 12/04/2021 10:51

When he pretends to slap you in the face why don't you pretend to kick him in the groin?

Newusertothis · 12/04/2021 10:59

Really @JensonsAcolyte
Thanks everyone taking time to comment
I will next time lol @KirstenBlest
Really @billy1966 what would they say

OP posts:
KirstenBlest · 12/04/2021 11:02

Don't let there be a next time. Pack him and send him back to the 1950s.

Regularsizedrudy · 12/04/2021 11:06

...why does he do no housework?

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 12/04/2021 11:08

OP do you think his behaviour is acceptable?

Are you happy that he bullies you and your children like this?

Newusertothis · 12/04/2021 11:10

He works full time i only work part time @Regularsizedrudy

JensonsAcolyte · 12/04/2021 11:15

My DH works full time plus overtime and he washes up after dinner. Because he’s not a fucking man child.

Chuck this one back in the sea, love.

LividLiving · 12/04/2021 11:17

You really can do better.

You would be much happier alone than with this grotesque specimen.

MrsBobDylan · 12/04/2021 11:18

My dh works full time and I don't work at all. He's still not a knob.
