Topic: Im feeling very sorry for myself Posted: 02 December 2008 at 9:52pm |
Where to start...
Well DF quit his job in October and hasn't made any attempt to get another one. The reason for this is his father said he'd pay for him to spend Christmas in Aussie and he knew if he'd get another he'd be unlikely to get Christmas off. So I've been financially supporting all three of us.
I came home today to find out that DF's father has been in contact and tickets are all booked and paid for. And hes going for nearly two weeks!! He wonders why I'm upset?
So I have to stay here and work to pay ALL the bills, while trying to organise childcare for DD as her centre is closed for two weeks over Christmas and New Year.
PLUS he'll be gone around the time I'm likely to ovulate, so I guess a September baby isn't in the plans.
Last week I found out a close friend of mine has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Whilst I'm trying to be supportive to her I'm having my own battles dealing with the emotional baggage left over from my own mother dying from cancer.
I'm also trying to organise my Dad's rental property to be retennanted. We had someone lined up, so spent last weekend cleaning and moving furniture only to hear today that they'd changed their mind.
Oh and work is having a major refit, so the place is a shambles. Then we have all the Christmas stock and people buying it. I work in retail.
I'm so over everything right now.
Sorry to unload here, but no one seems to be listening at home.

So frustrating!! You poor thing.  I especially hate it if DH makes plans to go away or something around ovulation. Terrible that life has to be planned around that, but I guess that's how it goes... here's hoping that because the end of 2008 isn't going so well that you get a nice little surprise in the new year (in the form of a BFP). I've been having a bit of a crap time recently with work too and think a BFP for xmas would only be fair
What a pain that his Dad didn't extend the invite to you and DD - does that mean he's gone over xmas and new years?

I kid of know how you feel  (apart from the ovulating part lol)
My DH informed me that he is going to the UK in Jan/Feb .. as thats before this baby is born, after Isabelle's 1st and before his course starts (he is looking at starting a Batchelor of Education early next year)
So .. I cant take time off as I need my holidays for bub number two's arrival so I had to get my Mum to take time off to care for Issy.
And .. he tells me it wont cost us anything .. but I just have this nagging suspision that things will magically go onto the cc and wont get repaid!

Thanks ladies. I'm feeling a bit better now.
I think the invitation was always there for myself and DD to go, we just had to pay for it ourselves. However I work in retail and December/January is our busiest time. So the boss doesn't allow leave in either month.
Two of our methadone customers got together a few months ago. They both smoke, drink and joke about smoking pot. I found out yesterday that they're having a baby. Life is sooooooo unfair sometimes.

I feel angry now.
DF's latest thing is not coming to bed until between 12-3 in the morning then sleeping in till who knows when. When I try to persuade him to come to bed with me he gets really hostile and accuses me of telling him what to do. I wouldn't have to tell him what to do if he used a bit of common sense. Of course he usually wakes me up when he comes to bed.
Hes also obsessed with the computer. Thats what he spends the majority of his day doing. He plays one of those stupid shooting online games and hangs out with his online gaming club. When I ask him to get off I get the same hostility again.
He has some lovely pet names for me too. Ones like b!tch, wh@re and c#nt. They come with the hostility. I find them insulting and degrading and have asked him to stop. Which hes just laughed at. If he thinks I'm all those things he shouldn't be here.
I would think if someone is financially supporting you for 3 months so you can take an overseas holiday you'd be doing everything in your power to make their live easier. I have to write him a list of things to do around the house. Sometimes he does them, sometimes he doesn't. I've explained to him that he should be doing them AND looking for extra things that he can do to help out.
I feel like I'm living with a belligerent 16 year old school boy on school holidays. I can't go on like this. Its wearing me down, plus the disturbed sleep isn't helping. If things don't improve I think he'll need to get his Dad to cancel his return flight.

Oh my gosh, I'd be angry too! You so don't deserve that! I hope that he comes back from his holiday with renewed motivation to pull his head in. If not, you might have to show him the door, that's no way to behave!  I hope you manage to get it sorted out really soon...

He shouldn't be calling you any names, maybe the time away will give you guys time to think.

Fallen that sounds awful, you poor thing!
Are you able to go stay with a friend for a couple of nights to give him a bit of a fright and a wake up call? That's really not on.
Is he feeling depressed about not having a job? Maybe tell him it's time to start the job hunt and just let the employers know he can't start till the new year - that's not too far off anyway.

Have to say, if I was in you're shoes, I wouldn't be putting up with any of that cr*p and he's be out the door swiftly followed by his belongings in a bin bag!
If that's not an option for you, I'd cancel you're internet connection (or change it to pay as you go dial up) cause you're the one paying for it. Failing that, I'd lock all the computer/gaming stuff in a cupboard and explain that when he's prepared to pay for the electricity/internet bill, he can have them back.
He's not showing you any respect or love....take some positive action!

Hugs to you, gosh you have a lot on your plate.
Is DF looking for another job? If you stopped supporting him what would he do?
Those computer games can get really addictive, have you asked him to limit his usage?
Yup your DF should be helping out more, and being supportive of you and DD.
