Argument with partner, am I wrong?

I’m having such a difficult time with my partner lately. He seems to have no understanding or regard for my feelings.

This morning I’ve said can you take the toddler for a bit so I can get all the clothes packed for myself and 2 kids for holiday next week. He said why can’t you have done that in the week. I said because I’ve waited till the washing was all done and you are home and oldest is away this weekend to do it. I’ve had a hard week. My mum is unwell so looked after her, my oldest is challenging with ADHD, the youngest climbs all over me and I can do nothing when she is awake. I’ve had loads to do in her nap times and I suffer M.E and this week I’ve been exhausted. I just wanted him to take toddler and give me an hour so I had a clear head to pack.

He takes the toddler goes into the bedroom shuts the door throws his clothes in a suitcase and comes out smug and smiling and says see it’s not hard to pack with a toddler. In the meantime she’s pulled the room apart and he’s just left it and gone downstairs. I don’t think he gives a shit about my feelings. All he had to do was say yeah sure.

A lot of people seem to make themselves feel better by putting others down. It’s not a nice quantity.

@Rainbow03 you sound so sad and defeated.

You seem fixated on WHY he treats you so badly.

It’s because he has zero respect for you and basically doesn’t give a shit about you or your feelings. Your purpose is to meet his needs and do it as quietly as possible.

Are the children his? Do you have to take him on holiday with you?

@Sunnydiary pretty much what his mum has said. I think he has the same idea but it’s not been obvious until now. I’m not here to serve anyone’s needs but my children.

I think my feelings get in the way for him. He doesn’t see why I have them and they aren’t the same as his. He wants to do what he wants and I get in his way. It is becoming a massive problem in the relationship. I sometimes feel like I’m stupid for feeling the way I do.

And yet you ask ‘is it really that bad?’ Then blame his autism for his being an A-hole.
you don’t have to put up with it, you choose to.
you have seen his mum’s behavior. The fact that it continues to bother you should tell you that this could be your life until you choose different!

I certainty see him in a different light now and don’t think I can’t unsee it. I really thought he was just sweet and ND. I am too accepting because I know the struggles sometimes but I’ve never been like that.

Did you ask him to leave @Rainbow03?
