Your work?

P is now turning off the wifi when I am in a meeting with my boss or closing my laptop. My boss engages the team in long phone calls and P has had enough of this. I have no idea how I am going to explain it tomorrow to my boss.

DP swore at me and said he had had enough of this and wants me to leave him.

Before I got this job he was complaining that I did not bring in enough money, and it seems now that I am he doesn't like it. It puts more strain on him as he has to do some nursery drops and this inconveniences his own work schedule.

I would leave this arsehole.

Ofcourseshecan · 14/11/2022 20:17

What a cheek! Do you want to stay with this idiot who sabotages your work?

Tickledtrout · 14/11/2022 20:17

Sorry you are going through this but try not to feel that you need to hide it from your boss. You've done nothing wrong.
How big is your company? Larger organisations will help you with domestic violence

AndEverWhoKnew · 14/11/2022 20:20

Tell him you're not leaving but he knows where the door is. Tell your friends and family what he is doing. You have done nothing wrong.

MaxTalk · 14/11/2022 20:30

He is a waste of space. Dump and run. What a grade A twat.

Emmamoo89 · 14/11/2022 20:31

Leave the arsehole!

JorisBonson · 14/11/2022 20:34

He sounds like a grade a cunt.

CourtneeLuv · 14/11/2022 20:35

Just leave him.

Coconutcream123 · 14/11/2022 20:36

What an absolute idiot.
This is abuse whether it seems trivial to you at the moment.
He told you you weren't bringing I'm enough money, so you get a better job and he tries to sabotage it?
He basically wants you to think you're not good enough

determinedtomakethiswork · 14/11/2022 20:37

I can't think of one good reason to stay with a man like that. He sounds really nasty and frankly unstable as well.

Dotcheck · 14/11/2022 20:37

Dear god- that is so many layers of wrong. Horrible coercive control/ abuse.

Definitely leave!

StickyCricket · 14/11/2022 20:47

WWID?

I'd tell your 'D'P that you will be explaining his domestic abuse to your boss tomorrow, asking work for the relevant support, and making appropriate arrangements for you to carry out your job effectively, which may mean that you'll be going into the office rather than working from home.

Oh, and I'd be telling him he needs to leave.

Herejustforthisone · 14/11/2022 21:54

Fuck me, another abusive cunt. Leave him. This is utterly outrageous.

Herejustforthisone · 14/11/2022 21:55

And make sure it is him that fucks off out of the family home.

username2222 · 14/11/2022 22:05

Leave him. Disconnecting the wifi when you are in the middle of a work meeting? Seriously? Incredibly immature.

Aquamarine1029 · 14/11/2022 22:06

Is this a joke?

If true, you really need to ask what to do? You should already be gone.

Closetbeanmuncher · 14/11/2022 23:13

I hope you’re not considering staying with this vindictive bag of rotten toss.

MyCatIsAFuckwit · 14/11/2022 23:25

Wow OP, not often am I lost for words.
Nope, I have found two..."leave him"

SandyY2K · 14/11/2022 23:36

Abuse and control come to mind.

The fact that he had the audacity to do this to you, clearly shows he knows he can and you won't do anything...otherwise he wouldn't dare. He doesn't respect or have regard for you, but you already know this.

Never in a million years would DH or any normal partner do anything like this.

You need help to get away, because this is not the first thing he's done to exert control over you.

Shoxfordian · 15/11/2022 09:34

It sounds like you need to leave him asap

AnyFucker · 15/11/2022 09:37

Why are you living like this ?

YellowHpok · 15/11/2022 09:40

Leave him. But also tell your line manager. I would be horrified if this was one of my team. I'd arrange support including a WiFi dongle that would mean you weren't reliant on the home WiFi. So he would lose his power here. You can buy these pretty cheap from places like argos or currys. You can also tether your laptop to your mobiles Internet. Google will tell you how.

Not a long term solution, you need to leave for that. But a practical immediate step you can take.
