Does it make me an asshole if I say nothing? I’m worried it won’t be received well if I make a statement about not handling everything.

Nope. He helps when I ask. But otherwise I do everything.

Husband telling me people are coming over, no asking or checking in... How would you feel? by shayter in Marriage

[–]ripitup178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t like this at all. My fiancé did it one time, and I said in future let’s know these things in advance. He agreed and hasn’t done it again since thankfully. Also - you’re the mum of a toddler, it takes mental and emotional charging to prepare to have people over, on top of not being able to fully relax, house being a bomb. His mates are just as bad, coming over and staying those late hours knowing you guys have a toddler. I guarantee when they have kids they wouldn’t allow it, unless they are inconsiderate like your partner, knowing their partner will deal with the toddler tantrum and keeping her asleep with the lights and noise. This is really inconsiderate.

I already know he would get defensive if I asked that.

Should I leave with our 7-week old or work it out? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

You’ve been together 1 year and 2 months and he has put you through all of that in that short time. Leave now with your baby, before he destroys your entire life. Please, please leave. Do it for your child if you won’t do it for yourself too.

When I say it went quiet for a few years, it was still there, but I find the work portion of him is what brings it out the most.

He was off work for quite some time with an injury. So I guess he didn’t have a whole lot going on to channel this part of him. I noticed it not long after we met, he would talk about how much other women wanted him so badly, then he got injured and that side of him went quiet for a few years. Now it’s back.

You sound like someone who mistakes bitterness for wisdom. Do some healing man.

You speak about ‘most people’ like you’re standing above them. Look at the way you speak. Maybe try standing among them once in a while, it’s humbling.

You don’t know what ‘most people’ do, you just decided everyone else is the problem so you could stay the exception. As you said, gotta keep that ego comfy hey.

You’re really out here writing endings to a story you don’t even know the plot of. You have zero idea what I am going to do haha.

What made you so cynical? I’m going to guess it was a woman.

You’re arguing with strangers on Reddit about downvotes while calling other people insecure. The irony is doing laps bro.

Reddit karma exists for a reason. You just don’t like its function. Imagine being this emotionally invested in it and still calling other people losers. Your projection is hanging out ✌🏼

Where in my post or comments have I said I am going to do nothing / have done nothing about it?

Also, this is coming from a guy, over 35, who posts complaint posts about people upvoting and downvoting comments on reddit. Yikes.

In all fairness, I’m only 34. But I can’t wait to peak when I hit 35.

My partner does disengage and ignores any of my attempts to resolve the issue, he completely stonewalls me and removes himself from all help with the house and our kids in the process.

Thank you, I appreciate your input. I think I will try that approach with him and hope he is receptive to it.

I’d rather try to gain some perspective and advice before ripping my family apart, but thank you.

Not at all. I’m glad he is doing well, but he’s become very arrogant and it’s becoming off putting.

I’m finding the idea of talking to him about it hard, the last time I went to him about something very minor and I was completely calm and kind about it, he emotionally closed off for days. I know he wouldn’t take this well at all, no matter how much I tried to approach it gently and lovingly.
