Sick of DP ripping the piss out of my stuff

[BurntPages]

I am in the process of moving into DP's house and he has been "helping" me sort stuff out.

I'm annoyed though because he has not stopped ripping the piss out of my possessions since we started. He constantly complains about the house itself, saying it's dirty, dusty, mouldy, in a crap area etc etc but then he starts on my actual belongings.

For instance he was having a car boot sale and asked if I had anything I wanted selling. I made a box up of stuff I needed rid of and he pulled a face, laughed and said "err ... I wouldn't expect much for this lot if I were you". And then he kept going on about how my carboot stuff would probably need to be binned.

Yesterday he was laughing at my sofa. I am trying to sell it and he kept laughing at saying stuff like "lets be fair, would YOU buy that?? I mean ... personally I think £20 is too much for it, never mind £40" there is nothing wrong with it.

Today it was my bed: "I'd put your bed in the paper but I don't think you'd get anything for it ... I mean ... (laughs) ... I wouldn't buy that, personally" again, IMO there is nothing wrong with it.

The one that really pissed me off was that he held up an old tea-towel at my house and said "oh gross! how disgusting, that can be binned". I said "no, my mum bought me that years ago, I'm keeping it" so he laughed and said "you're joking? it's gross! it has holes in!" he then took it back to his house, held it up and encouraged his daughter to have a good laugh at it too.

I've just been sorting through my christmas decorations and he held one thing up and said "That can go in the bin? surely ... it's corny, I hate stuff like that"

I'm pissed off. His house is hardly a fucking palace ... he wears clothes with holes in yet he rips the piss out of a holy tea-towel? He had posters of dragons and unicorns on his bedroom wall yet he rips the piss out of a father christmas card holder??

What is his problem? is he trying to chip away at my confidence or what?

Look. he's a twat but so are you for continuing to make plans with him.

Have to say I'm with your DP on the tea towel. You are keeping a manky holey tea towel because your mother bought it?? Sheesh. You deserve each other.

Gosh, there I was going to fully agree with the OP because my DH has been doing exACTly the same thing as we are in the process of moving to Australia - and commenting on how much better the house looks now it is 90% empty (no it fucking doesn't, it looks like a barn!) and I am getting extremely pissed off with having my stuff dissed in the same way - it's like a criticism of my life.

HOWEVER - it is NOT an abusive relationship that I am in!

And then I read that there is more to this post than meets the eye. So if the OP is a first timer and this is her first op on the subject, then fair play and I agree - if not, and there have been numerous posts about this guy then different scenario.
