Hi Nikcola! sorry to hear you're having a shitty day
perhaps YOU should start to arrange things for you and your dd to do together on a weekend and tell him we're you're going "on Sunday we're ALL going to x, OK?" that way the day's not wasted IYKWIM. Remind him that he'll have all the time in the world to laze around when he's retired, but whilst you're young, you want to be out and about and enjoying life!

nikcola · 20/03/2005 11:55

he wont do anything he is so boring and lazy unless someone needs their car fixing then he will get of his arse i just feel so bored and lonely

Know where you are coming from Nikcola. My dh is the same. The weekends are for relaxing after his hard week at work. Trouble is relaxing for him is always sitting in front of the TV never going out with the family. Sorry, can't help you, but you are not alone.

mummytosteven · 20/03/2005 11:58

agree with LMB, you're going to have to arrange stuff for you and DD to do and then see if he wants to join in or not. better than sitting round feeling cross.

mancmum · 20/03/2005 11:58

well if I was 21 I would not be hanging around waiting for life to happen... you are too young.. get out there without him and see what happens....

nikcola · 20/03/2005 12:00

he has just came in and told me that he is going to fix his bros car because he doesnt want to be with a misserable cow like me

sounds like you are making each other miserable.... maybe it is time for one of those BIG chats... you can not go on like this... can you?

lou33 · 20/03/2005 12:03

go find an 18 year old hottie nickola.

MistressMary · 20/03/2005 12:03

Well get your stuff together and go out and have a day out.
He may come round to your way of thinking soon.

Papillon · 20/03/2005 12:04

Yes don´t wait for him to organise something. And he doesn´t want to come along, then thats a shame but its more of a shame if you live your life around him and the TV. In fact he should babysit and you go out nightclubbing regularly!

LIZS · 20/03/2005 12:08

Jump in the car with dd and head off for nearest park or farm. His loss

littlemissbossy · 20/03/2005 12:10

well I hope you told him you wouldn't be miserable if you were treated a little bit better
get yourself and dd out, go window shopping if you have to, but don't sit around waiting for him!!

MistressMary · 20/03/2005 12:17

My patner is lacking in spontenaity somewhat and when he does a get day off he just wants to relax.
So I say we are going out you can come if you want to?
Actually I prefer this as I would get wound up if I stayed in any more than I do already.
Just because I'm in a relationshop doesnt mean we are joined at the hip thank gawd!

nikcola · 20/03/2005 12:30

ive sent him out to get some meat (i wont go cause there is no where to park) i was gonna take dd to the park but its raining so im going to tidy up then have a bath with dd and then might go and get a dvd,

whenever i say to dp lets do somthing he just moans he really is boring and i wish he wasnt cause its not fair on dd

when i say he is borning he just says go out with someone exditing then,
ffs i dont want someone exciting just someone not so bloody booring this morning i said lets go shopping cause i need a new top for a party next week (i havent been out since my birthday) and he just said " oh want to waste money again do we " god sometimes i hate him

me and dd have got 2 weeks off nursery/college so i think hopefully we will have some fun without him

you sure you should be with him nickola? What is it in your relationship with him that makes it special to you? I now you have dd together, but aside from her i mean?

MistressMary · 20/03/2005 12:38

Actually he sounds a bit resentful or something?

nikcola · 20/03/2005 12:46

its just that sometimes he isnt very nice to me hes not horrible or anything i think he just doesnt like me sometimes i dont no why,

i do love him and i no he loves me he is 28 and im 21 i was 15 when i meet him , i just want to live my life and have fun i dont have many friends the people at college find me a bit overpowering i think because im allways asking them if they want to do stuff like meet up or go out i just want some friends and a life

MistressMary · 20/03/2005 12:49

So he is past that age and wants to settle down and you want to make up for your lost partying years?

nikcola · 20/03/2005 12:51

yep that about right, in 6 years we have never been out together, he doesnt go out on his own either but he just cant understand why i want to go out

OP posts:
MistressMary · 20/03/2005 12:52

Did he ever go out before you met him?

LGJ · 20/03/2005 12:52

Give him his P45

I might be wrong but it sounds like your house is just being used as somewhere to doss.

lou33 · 20/03/2005 12:53

is that really what you want from a relationship ?

or is it a case of just what you are used to, scared to go and find what you want, iyswim?

nikcola · 20/03/2005 12:54

yeh he used to go out he used to be a real male slag! im all for settling down and helping him save money for his deposit my me going out every now and then aint gona bancrupt him is it ?

OP posts:
lou33 · 20/03/2005 12:56

Keane · 20/03/2005 13:02
