My partner is lovely, I had a string of shit relationships so that’s probably why I’m still here despite feeling like everyone’s skivvy.
I have to make all the decisions, do the food shop, decide what to do weekends, tell my boyfriend to take the bins out repeatedly, tell him to shower or we’ll be late, tell him to wash up, bathe our son.I do all the washing all the mopping all the hoovering, putting the clothes away, I’m so sick of it.
whenever I’ve said where’s my break from our toddler, he says “I work it’s hardly a break” bear in mind I’ve not had 1 day break
whenever I say start doing more, he says I know and tries for about a week max then gets comfortable again
my toddler prefers me and according to my partner that’s because I’m a stay at home mum, not because on the weekends I still continue being the primary parent.
im so sick of it, he rarely if ever spontaneously does things like clean, cook take us all out or offer to take my son out by himself. Plays with our son and his toys!!
always moaning he’s tired from work and I have to say our toddlers awake he’s crying.
I came from divorced parents and I know relationships take work but I’ve asked a million times and feel like a mum not a girlfriend!! My mum actually went through this with my dad so can’t believe I’m in the same situation
he moans when I can’t park the car despite me being the only driver and only passing my test this year.
I feel so trapped because the cost of living is extremely high, and don’t see how I can leave and give my son the same quality of life - at the same time if I left there wouldn’t be more bloody work for me cause I do everything myself anyway!
it’s actually to the point I wouldn’t care if he cheated or just left because I feel so drained of any love or jealousy I could have because I’m with a man child
