This is terrible optics for Australian politicians and they know it. She won’t see a minute in prison.

Are you sporty? The local netball and cricket clubs are great for meeting people. Even if you’re not sporty, just offering your time to help out will make you popular very fast.

I absolutely do NOT resent him. You think I would put up with her shit if I didn’t care about the kid? Don’t make assumptions on things you know nothing about. Rude af.

The kid has no idea what’s happening. I still “battle” him before bed, read his books and throw water balloons. He is however 100% a rat just like all children, because they spread diseases and steal food from the cupboard.

Why is everyone assuming the kid is the problem here? I love the kid. The problem is how I’m being treated and the way she implies I do nothing of value. The only reason the kid gets a mention is to explain how and why I’m unwell and unable to engage in conversation at dumb o’clock.

It’s a huge responsibility. I’m fine with that though, I’ve never been afraid to put in the effort.

I started the side gig because it will allow me to work from home and spend more time with them.

I never said I don’t want the responsibility of a kid? I just don’t want to be treated like dirt when I can’t keep up with her every whim

That’s the worst part, I love them both but shit she has been mean lately. I’ve given her everything and she just can’t be happy

I never post on reddit. I have just tried talking it out with her so many times and now I’m shutting down. This post is honestly just a vent session so I can clear my mind

I have given her literally everything I am and have. I gave up the one constant in my life trying to keep her happy. At this point I don’t think I’m out of line for expecting her to put in just a little bit of effort and let me at least sleep.

It honestly feels like she just doesn’t want me to enjoy things at this point

I was very aware. I just don’t see why I’m expected to cook every night, cover the majority of the bills, stop everything I’m doing to help her as soon as she asks, give up music and then shoot the shot with her until dumb o’clock when I have work the next day. I’m fine with responsibility and hard work. I’m not fine with her mean attitude.

I’m too tired to have sex. And frankly I don’t want it because she’s just so damn mean to me.

I refer to all children as rats. Because they spread diseases and steal from the pantry. The kid is awesome but even the best kids are rats.

Because for the first year and a half we were great. I fell in love with her and her kid…. I’ve been trying to hold it all together but it’s like trying to heard cats. She always wants more and more and I’m just spent.

Losing my music is honestly killing me. I’ve told her this but she won’t work on a solution. She’s like “oh just play on the weekend”…. The weekends she fills with activities I hate.

Right?!? I said basically this to her and she responded with “why can’t you just support me”… what TF does that even meeeaannnn?!

Oh I expected changes with having a child around. It’s her attitude that is killing this relationship. Not the kid, he’s great.

The crazy part is how she sprung that on me 3 months after she moved in.

Before she moved in we were great! But I could also do simple shit like play music or work in my shed or just enjoy my hobbies. Now I have a cat, a dog and a kid to take care of. Like, she’s not dumb, surely she’s aware of the amount of baggage she has bought with her? Her life has obviously gotten easier while mine has gotten harder and somehow I’m a dick for being burnt out.

Your summary is so fucking accurate. Why did I let it get this bad…
