Laura, that made me bloody giggle! "Got his face eaten" lol...love it.
I lost my shit with Dan in the first pregnancy in June when he thought I was laying it in a bit thick, so off he went to read up on it. He now checks I've had 10 hours sleep in every 14 hours, lol. I love it, but I'm like, that leaves 14 hours to do work, the horses, the dogs and housework, lol. So, he's started just helping now and for the first time in almost 10 years, when he does stuff around the house, I don't have to hear about how he did something for the next three days. Why do men do that. "Oh by the way, I cleaned the sink in the bathroom". Like, seriously, I do it every other bloody day. I'm going to just not do stuff at all one of these days so he can understand that this shit doesn't stay clean by magic, lol.
He's safe for now though, he's just getting on with stuff as, in his words, "You're growing our baby, It's my job to help. I don't just become a dad when it's born".
JemRose, I'm glad you laid your feelings on the line. A good rule of thumb that I live by with most things is, 3 strikes and you're out. 3 displays of the same behaviour from anything, dog, horse, child, adult and you've convinced me you haven't and don't want to change. With kids and animals, it's my failurw and I'll try a different training method. With adults, tough shit, I'm not on this earth to wipe your ass so if you can't be arsed to do it right, I'm done.
Maybe apply that to your boyfriend. This is the second time I believe he's treated you very poorly since you've been pregnant, so this is it...if he does it again, he's proving to you that your feelings and opinions don't matter. I pray for you that that doesn't happen. I know I've been pretty harsh on him but I do believe in second and even third chances. Just not four, fuck up that often and I believe I deserve better. I believe you do too, so fingers crossed he grows a pair a mans up to his responsibilities as your caring and supportive partner in this and everything else. Xxx
