I’m so f’ing angry

That I’m so f’ing angry all the time at DH, yes there are certain triggers but a lot of the time I just can’t pin point the why, it’s like seething resentment or anger just bubbling under the surface.

we have two dc and he is the higher earner so life without him would be harder. I’m finishing my mat leave and day in day out with kids and whining because they’ve been ill (I’m not angry at them or anything obviously it’s not their fault) but I feel like I’ve reached my max. Lunch and dinner are always prepared by me, in a scrap with both of them having to sit at the kitchen table and then they start moaning and kicking off. I’ve begged and begged DH to cook 2 meals a week (that’s it) and it’s happened once and one of those was just frozen food in the oven. I asked him to sort lunch the other day and he’s giving it the biggun that he’s cooked and he made food for the 3 of them and nothing for me, then broke my le creuset skillet by dropping it, taking a massive chunk out of the unit and tile on the way down. Feels like weaponised incompetence. Other ‘meals’ include him defrosting left overs ive frozen.

he has to be told how to do everything, no house proudness and then says to me that he’s working I’m just sitting around so I should be cleaning and keeping it spotless. But when I did work prior to mat leave, guess who did majority of the cooking and cleaning… oh yeah me. I’ve Tried getting organised and prepping everything the night before, but it’s me cooking until 10pm.

obviously there is no sex life, because why would there be, and even when there was I got very little out of it. I’m just done

i honestly feel like a ball of angry energy just bouncing around waiting to explode.

purpose of this is just me getting it off my chest

Well, I wish you well. I felt your pain as I read through. It does get easier as the kids get older. Hopefully you can afford a cleaner/help now. Or if not, are saving up enough for an escape fund xx

Definitely can’t afford a cleaner. Especially as the cost of living soars and our mortgage is looking like it will double. Same goes for an escape fund.

I stopped doing and would you believe as if by magic he learned how to do things… 😂

Just want to say I’m in a similar position and feel your pain and frustration. He’s never done a single sleepless night - we now sleep separately as all he would do is wake me and baby with his snoring… Only ever bathed baby about 5 times in last year. I do nearly all cooking and cleaning and when I go back to work I know it will be the same. The odd time he does cooking he will take so long that it’s either too late for baby to eat or he’ll make something unsuitable anyway. He is defensive, incompetent, does zero of mental load - has no concept of what that entails. The atmosphere is constantly toxic. I’m so done too but we would lose everything without him - house etc. I feel
like such an idiot.

Amazing isn't it, what they can do when no one else will do it for them.

Things may seem a bit better, but keep your options open all the same.
