Is it normal.....

[Metoomeansmetoo]

like you are constantly on edge?

When you go away, you come home a day early because 'it's stressful at home'

When you have friends (mums) with their kids to stay...(friends who you have known half your life) and lots of kids being kids you feel constantly embarrassed at how grumpy and 'tired' the other half is....

When you want to go away for 24 hours and your know it will be a battle to 'negotiate' the time

Is this normal?

Xxx

No, it's not.

I think this is the reality of living with men?
I'm single bc I can't bear it.

It's definitely important to discuss how you are feeling. To see if it can get better or if it's time to leave. Lx

No, it's not a normal way to live. It must be incredibly stressful for you.

Not normal, not cool. I would say if you're on edge all the time, that's called abuse

No, not normal. He's controlling you with his behaviour.

I've been on MN longer enough to know that it's likely to get worse.

No that’s not normal. It’s not a “reality of living with men” unless they are controlling twats.

“No that’s not normal. It’s not a “reality of living with men” unless they are controlling twats.”

This.

It's not healthy to live constantly on edge. Has he always been like this or is it a new thing?

Out of curiosity, is the need to go away for a day/night a regular thing? Does he do it too? Because, yes of course you have to negotiate a bit. Who's going to do xyz/kids etc.

I was married to a controlling, narcissistic, angry man for years. I don't think I ever invited friends round as he just wasn't pleasant. He could turn in a second. I wish I'd been on mumsnet back then as I'd have known all the signs. I did eventually leave him.
