Does anyone else have a partner who agrees to do something then doesn’t?

[harmionie]

There’s no real solution to this but I just have to let it out. I can’t rely on my partner. It’s small things - like not going to the supermarket when he says he will - and big things, like he’s meant to be putting our house on the market and just doesn’t.

I don’t know if anyone can empathise. I’m so fucked off with it this evening.

If you indeed cannot rely on him then what is the point of being with him at all?. Why not carve out a life for yourself without him in it, what has stopped you?.

His primary concern is his own self and own self interest only. Tasks like going to the supermarket etc he regards as YOUR job by dint of fact you are female. Another tactic such men employ is to do a task so badly you never ask them to do that again thus carrying the load yourself.

And if the cereal is not for him to use he would have no interest in buying any.

Believe me I have thought about it but we have a child and I don’t want his life disrupted. I am not convinced that co parenting would be any less stressful. And while it might be the right thing for me it is not for our child. But it is infuriating.

How old is your DC? What is the point of him?
