Just had a rant because -

  • having had a bottle of Prosecco, cooked dinner, organised everything all day (all week, all year, all forever) - I’d accidentally left the gas on slightly (no smell) and Dp made a huge bloody deal about it - opening every window in the house
  • my defence is that I do EVERYTHING. He WFH, but sees all household, child, organisation as down to me. He never gets up to toddler son (ill for the past few days so I’ve had no sleep)

Sound totally toxic for everyone tbh.

If you want to be the only responsible adult in the house, then you have to stop drinking, period. It will fuel your rage and deepen your depressive mood, which will help no-one. (It can also be used against you very effectively in any competency or custody battles in the future)

Speak to him sober, and outline your points e.g

  1. Your H is effectively an absent parent/partner.
  2. His refusal to interact at all with his family will lead to a divorce.
  3. No-one is currently happy, so what would you/he suggest to change/help ?

If neither of you can manage this, and build on it, then I'm afraid it would have to be a LTB from me.
