Just a rant.

My boyfriend is constantly ratty and moody towards me and I'm sick of it. Everyday he makes me feel totally done in to be around him. He has just finished uni so we no longer have his loans and he is on the search for a job so money is tight and he is feeling to pressure and stress which I understand. But until he finds a job there's nothing we can do about that so he might as well sort his attitude out because in the mean time I'm still going to work part time and when I'm not at work I'm taking care of our 10 month baby and doing house work whilst he spends hours upon hours doing different cvs, job hunting etc so the last thing I want to face every day with is his shitty attitude.

He is constantly moaning and complaining about something, he is just a misery. I said today I need to get my sister a birthday present and he's fuming with me because we can't afford to and I wish I hadn't mentioned it to him. At the end of the day my sister gets me a lovely gift every year and I'm not going to not get her something.

I don't know what the purpose of my post is other than a rant.

I treat him with freedom and I don't he doesn't return it the same way. If we wants to pop to the pub for a couple of hours with his friends he can. He goes to the gym every night for just over an hour which again fine, but I want to start the gym and he was fuming because I wanted to go a body fit class followed by yoga which would have taken it to two hours of time with me being at the gym. But if it was the other way round he would just do what he wanted! I'm sick of treating him with freedom and being treat like I'm just here to play house and not do anything for myself. Which I don't.

I can't even talk to him about things because he just sits there looking like he's sulking with a stubborn tone like he's a fucking teenager. I'm just sick of being in a good mood for him to just come along with 101 negative things to say and shitting all over it with his mood like he's the only one stressed over the situation! We both are! But I'm not going to spend everyday miserable about it.

Sorry I should've went through and checked my typos! I meant to put "I give him free and he doesn't return it"

I think a few typo's are to be expected when getting stuff off your chest and you are definitely entitled to do thatSmile

Is he not doing any kind of work, paid or unpaid whilst looking for what he wants?

The pedant in me would have a weekly planner drawn up showing where and how much of your free time is spent so that is clearly visible he's getting a lot more free time. I did this at work when I was being asked to attend so many ridiculous meetings I didn't have much time left for doing my job. They wouldn't have heard me if I didn't show them. Pictures vs words etc

He is clearly controlling and emotionally abusive. He should not dictate what you can and cannot do with your free time and be fuming because you want to do a body fit and yoga class which god forbid takes a couple of hours of your own free time that you are entitled to. If you want to buy a present for your sister then you should be able to buy one and you should not be having to walk on egg shells. Honestly I’d be leaving him as soon as I could. There seems to be nothing positive about him and he will get worse until he has you under his full control
