just looking for advice or solidarity. My partner lost his job, and somehow has a go at me for the smallest thing. Parking the car wrong? Bath before him?

just getting exhausted - he’s not fussed about his job and is not a source of stress in terms of our finances etc. I just feel belittled. If I want to have a drink, that’s an issue… but he can play games and stay up all hours?

just seeking and guidance and support for anyone who’s been through similar. I’m tired of being the bad guy to be honest

Sounds like he is attempting to gain control over you

Have you tried pointing this out to him? Tell him how you feel. Tbh it sounds like he is stressed to me. Everything is annoying him because he is stressed.

I would point out how you feel and see how he reacts. If he keeps it up I wld end the relationship tho. Life is to short for that
