Fuming at boyfriend ruined Christmas

So....
me and my partner don't live together. My house is council, he owns his own house. Neither house is big enough as I have 3 children etc so maybe in the future ...

We agreed I'd cook Xmas dinner at his house as he has a table, much bigger kitchen etc.

We was going to go Xmas food shopping last night together... we said we'd go late to miss the busyness. My baby sitter let me down for my 5 year old so we agreed to go this morning (he was annoyed)

This morning i rang him and said I'm leaving at 9.30 I wanna be at shop for 10 cus it will get busy... he said you'll have to wait or go alone cus I'm bleaching my floors!! I said u can bleach your floors later?

So I went alone with my 5 year old.
It was manic. I then drove 15 miles to his house to drop the Xmas food off that we'd be cooking at his house.
He helped get the stuff out the car, my son then got out the car and went to go in his house to see his cats and he flipped cus he was freshly hoovering and shouted at my son to get back in the car. He was horrible. I obviously told him not to speak to my son in that way and especially my 5 year old. We've been together some time now and he usually good.

I said how on earth can I bring 3 kids here for Xmas day with your OCD and mood like this? It's crazy. He is 46 lives alone.no kids.

Anyway... he's just turned up and dumped all the food at my door we was supposed to be cooking together. There's loads of it. I can't even fit it all in my fridge.
I'm so hurt. So now all the plans have changed. I'm doing Xmas dinner alone at my house with the kids. It's put a right spanner in the works for me.

When he was walking out the door he said happy fukin Xmas yeah.
I'm sat in total shock. And he slammed the door so hard. Envy

Looks delish...imagine missing that!

Your dinner looks delicious, and I hope you and the children have a wonderful day, and that 2024 is an amazing year.

PlantsFallLikeDominoes · 25/12/2023 16:02

Well done on cracking on OP 🎉

@LydiaRebecca14 that dinner looks lovely. Hope he's having toast.

PickAChew · 25/12/2023 16:09

Dinner looks great, @LydiaRebecca14 and, hopefully, tasted just as good.

Be thankful you have your own place you can call home and have found out who he is before you became further entangled 🫂

A horrible thing to happen but a magnificent wake up call. You are better off without him!

Someday you will look back at this as a huge blessing. Go start your new life with out this jerk

AuntMarch · 25/12/2023 16:30

What an absolute shit! Very much his loss though and you'll believe it soon enough, if you don't feel it already!

diddl · 25/12/2023 16:34

That looks almost as good as what we had😆

Hope you all enjoyed it.

Well he sounds an absolute arsehole but at least he brought the food!

Well done for getting rid of him.

How is there so much food though if only one adult is excluded now?

TypicalCoach · 25/12/2023 16:38

Man child who needs to be centre of attention. He will end up alone.

godmum56 · 25/12/2023 16:41

bravefox · 25/12/2023 16:49

Huge respect and high 5s OP! Cheers to an amazing 2024

I hope you and kids managed to have a good day. Thank goodness you didn't give up your council house for him.

Mummyoflittledragon · 25/12/2023 17:09

Well done. You are so much better off without him. Onwards and upwards.

AngelAurora · 25/12/2023 17:14

Get over him and enjoy Christmas with your children without him.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 25/12/2023 17:15

Sending 💐. Dinner looks amazing, you’re a hero OP!

Grimchmas · 25/12/2023 17:20

You have done so well, I know I'm a stranger but I'm so proud of you xxx

Crikeyalmighty · 25/12/2023 17:21

@LydiaRebecca14 life's too short for total drama queens or weird aggressive guys with OCD in my opinion

clarepetal · 25/12/2023 17:22

It looks amazing! Onwards and upwards, his loss! X

BCBird · 25/12/2023 17:30

Looks lovely OP. Good riddance to that dick splash

trippily · 25/12/2023 17:44

That looks banging. He's probably had beans on toast the wanker.

Squirrelsbite · 25/12/2023 17:48

Looks like a fab dinner OP
good riddance to the twat

Treesinthewind · 25/12/2023 18:01

If he’s anything like my ex, I’m guessing you may have been walking on eggshells around him wondering if the kids were going to send him into a huff? Mine dumped me at the end of October as he “couldn’t do this” and I feel so much more relaxed now! Be gentle on yourself as the grief will come, but know that 2024 is going to be a lot better!
