infinesthesia Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Long rant here. Just seeking any sort of input. DH and I have been together 11 years, married for 9 years. We are still very young, I get that but I just cannot deal with the childish, selfish behavior anymore. Pretty much everything revolves around him and if his plans don't go as expected he'll literally throw a tantrum complete with arm flailing and eye rolling.. We have 2 young kids and its like I'm raising a 3rd. DH works all week and I'm a SAHM and I'm thankful he works however because he does he feels he is entitled to do nothing. He makes this point very clear as illustrated by above mentioned tantrums when asked to do normal everyday things like take out the trash or change a lightbulb. He also takes off 1 whole weekend day away from the house each week to hang out with his friends. I finally got a counselor last year for my own piece of mind but he said he didn't want me going anymore because the counselor was putting ideas in my head. I offered him to go with me and of course the answer is no. He's an OK dad but doesn't pay the kids much attention meaning carding for them but he'll take one of them, not both, to do things occasionally as long as its something DH wants to do. My DH has always been this way so I feel its my fault for putting up with these behaviors. I've stopped voicing my concerns because it doesn't change anything and they are met with excuses and eye rolling. A person can only take so much and I'm tired of having no expectations when it comes to his duties at home and with the kids. Link to post Share on other sites
