DP is being an annoying twunt

He's been driving me a bit mental recently. He just seems to be so immature, it's doing my head in.

For example, he was mucking about in my bag (why, I do not know), it fell on the floor and my camera fell out and broke (nothing major, but it's still broken). He then said "your bag wasn't in a safe place". So it was my fault then. Then, last night he couldn't watch the UEFA cup final (I'd booked tickets for something, but he admitted that he hadn't even thought to look at the time of booking, and I didn't, as it's something that does even register on my radar), and complained about it for about three days beforehand, was in a grump the whole evening and very pissy afterwards, because I had booked the tickets for that evening. Surely he should just get over it and deal with it FFS?
He criticises me all the time: why don't I wear heels (I do at work. Can't be arsed rest of the time), why do I only wear particular colours (they suit my colouring, and what does he know about clothes?), why am I wearing that outfit and so on. He wants me to learn his mother tongue (which I'm doing, but slowly because to be honest, I don't really have the time, and there's another language I need for my employment and need to work on as a matter of urgency). All I asked of him was to start cutting his finger nails. And he still doesn't do it, he chews them instead. I've been asking for months.

And the reason you're with him is...?

does he have any positives?!!

bleh · 28/05/2009 14:30

He spent AGES chasing me and finally I gave in and we gt on really well. When he's not pissy like this we have a great time and he can be really sweet. I suppose I'm just fed up with him at the moment, so I'm not focussing on the positives at all.

Learn the language you need for work and tell him to wind his neck in.

bruces · 28/05/2009 14:33

has he always been like this or has he changed?
What is his mother tongue and do you want to learn it?
as the others have said what are his good points?

bleh · 28/05/2009 14:39

He's changed recently. He's having a really, really rubbish time at work (but when I say: have you applied for any other jobs? the answer's always no) and I think he takes it out on me to an extent.

His mother tongue is French, and I've always wanted to learn it, but not right now. With the current employment market, I think bolstering the work language (Russian) is much more important.

When he's not being like this, he can be really lovely. He used to do sweet things like buy me gifts and would look after me when I was down or tired, but now, he's just driving me up the wall.
