Would you be annoyed at this?

DH was away for a week on a lads holiday, which I wasn't happy with in the first place as he takes the piss with his many hobbies and hobby related weekends away and holidays.

He got back on Tuesday. Announced straight away that he had a 'cold' and has been in a foul mood since, sitting around with a blanket and doing nothing in the house or for the DC. He's so grumpy it's ridiculous.

Meanwhile I'm working full time from home, and doing everything else. We have two kids, both younger secondary school age.

Whenever he's been on a holiday or weekend away he's always apparently ill and/or exhausted when he gets home and is moody because of this. He won't even communicate properly and is doing an irritating voice like he's dozing off halfway through a sentence.

Apparently I'm in the wrong for being annoyed.

I could go off for a week on my own I suppose, but he wouldn't take proper care of the kids, the house would be a mess,

This on its own would be too much for me.

I'd be plotting my exit. I couldn't be dealing with that shit. Life is too short.

I'm truly fucked off, that's for sure!

He denies taking any coke still

He doesn't give a shot you're fucked off because you forgive him everytime he does it.
Keep on forgiving him and he'll keep on doing it.
Good luck. not a future I'd want for myself or an example I'd want set for my kid.

He's been on coke alright I know all the symptoms from my own brief and misspent youth. No doubt about it. The symptoms, the horrible comedown. Makes me wonder what else he's been doing.
I would find it difficult to control my rage in this situation.

I forgot to add too that he's also cross because the house got messy whilst he was away as I was juggling full time work, kids, all household stuff, walking our two dogs etc.

Wtf, this man has ZERO respect for you. He's an absolute prick.

My ex was a nightmare with coke binges etc, not sure if he ever had a sore throat etc though cos he was normally a complete lickarse after a day of being home and very manipulative to make me stay. He wouldn't have been lying in bed sick.

He also would never ever have dreamed of criticising me for a messy house even if I was just being lazy (and he was a prick in lots of ways).

I managed to get free of him when my eldest was 10 or so thankfully, my kids even witnessing the 1 day of him being an arsehole after returning from his adventures was enough, this isn't healthy for your kids, they'll put two and two together eventually.
