please tell me i’m not wrong here because i am struggling so bad rn

since sunday night i have cleaned up my 7 year olds vomit, my 2 year olds vomit and my own. 7 year old got sick sunday night/monday he had to stay home of course after throwing up and running 101 degree fever. tuesday my 2 year old got sick and she was burning up, throwing up all day from 4 am until 5 am the next day. tuesday afternoon i got it and i threw up all day and all night, burning up, body aches, fevers and chills, in and out of consciousness, literally thought i was dying. boyfriend didnt lift a finger to do sh!t other than make my 7 year old fish sticks tuesday night, passed out for the night and didn’t even wake up to get him in the shower. i had to wake up and get him in the shower in between vomiting my guts out. he didn’t even move from the bed when he could hear me literally sobbing about how bad i felt. he didn’t help me put up the $400 worth of groceries i ordered the night before not knowing id be down as bad as i was. left cold sh!t out i had to throw away, didn’t say anything about it, acted like he helped me so much by putting up two bags of canned stuff. left over 10 bags still in the floor. didn’t help me at all after that wednesday or today. he wakes up and forces himself to cry, says he is dying he’s so sick. calls out of work, insists that he’s gotten what we had. no way possible, he hid in our room and wouldn’t come near me or my kids, didn’t help me in any way or form to be around me. didn’t even let me sleep in my own bed so i wouldn’t get him sick. he isn’t running a fever, he took it this morning and it was 98 degrees. hasn’t thrown up, hasn’t even acted the slightest bit sick. has just laid in bed laughing at his phone all day. i offered him food multiple times earlier to which he replied idk and didn’t respond further so tf, i didn’t make him anything because im not a mind reader and im not making food that he’s gonna waste. he’s fake crying again he’s so hungry that he’s gonna leave here and go to wendy’s to eat since i wont make him anything. meanwhile im cooking a whole chicken in my instant pot to make him homemade chicken noodle soup and he’s cussing me that it’s gonna take 45 minutes (the same amount it would take him to make it to wendy’s) also how are you sooo sick but you can drive all the way to wendy’s and stomach that? i have eaten grapes and that’s it for 2 days now. i make him the soup, make smothered chicken for me and my kids so i make two half bags of boil in bag rice. he eats his soup and doesn’t say shit. doesn’t say he’s still hungry, doesn’t say anything. he just sits there and watches me plate me and the kids plates then he walks in the kitchen and notices i plated all the food (literally 2 half packages of boil in a bag rice was barely enough for us 3) so i offer to give him mine and he throws a fit. tells me he wishes i wasn’t here, that i would 💀 because im so selfish. im leaving as soon as my oldest is out of school and i can’t wait for the day his grown ass actually has to be a man and take care of himself. i do everything for him, hell i might as well just chew his damn food and spit it in his mouth that’s literally the only thing he is capable of doing alone. he refuses to cook for himself, lies and cries that he doesn’t know how to use the microwave or the air fryer. says it’s my job to feed him. tell me i’m not wrong here because in no way, shape or form am i seeing how i’m wrong here for a grown man lying about being sick and refusing to tell me what he wants to eat then expecting me to read his mind that he’s still hungry.

You got me laughing at the thought of chewing his food and spitting it into his mouth like he’s a baby bird 😝 😂 but seriously he sounds pathetic

i mean literally that’s what he would probably want to happen at this point he is so lazy and childish. my 7 year old is more self sufficient and independent than he is, truly. if my 7 year old is hungry he goes and gets a snack, doesn’t ask me for anything, doesn’t cry or whine or throw a fit, just takes care of it himself.

and i did. he didn’t want a woman, he wanted a mommy since his mom isn’t around. he just wants a maid, a cook and a servant. i’ve suffered for 5 freaking years and i wont be doing it for another one. all my family hate him and tell me i deserve better, his own family finally see him for what he is and are tell me to leave his sorry ass.

Yess!! I’m glad you see it and I’m glad you got family that support it!! Leaving my ex was the best decision!!! It’s so much easier being a single parent than parenting with another child! 🫶🏻

he’s scared me for 5 years with empty threats. threatened that nobody would ever want me because i was a single mom when he met (but he wanted me?) threatened that he made plans to take the 2 year old we share together and his family was in on it, that he had a whole support system. for the past year i’ve told him to act on those plans and every single time it’s some bs excuse because that plan doesn’t exist and his family confirms that to me. threatens me daily now that i’m damaged goods, 2 kids by 2 different men at 26 so nobody will ever want me. at this point i hope that he’s right because i want to be alone for a very, very long time because of him. threatens that he will never let me see our 2 year old again but i have so much proof of what he is that he’ll probably get weekends or supervised visits at best. i’ve been scared and felt so guilty about leaving because he wasn’t always this way but i’ve realized im more scared of being here any longer than i am of being alone

Oh he’s a narcissist!! Yeah he’s just an abusive fuck!! Don’t listen to anything he says! It’s all just bs lies in an attempt to control and break you and you aren’t allowing it anymore!! You can find better if you wanted too!! But being single isn’t too bad… I like being single myself lol

Sahm .. the dad role .

Hi!! I’m 2 months pp. and I really would like your opinion on this situation if you have a moment.
So I have always had a job before the baby, and my bd .. not really. But 2 weeks before he was born he scored a really good job and I was able to be a sahm. Which is what I wanted , and I’m unsure if it’s still what I want or if the situation just isn’t right.
At first he was a great help in the hospital as I had an emergency c section. I was in the hospital for about a week and for most of that time I was in bed .
But after that.. I’m lucky if he will watch the baby while I shower .and I mean that seriously.
I am the only one who changes diapers, only one who bathes , feeds or watched him in general. And of course he may be tired after work but it’s like he completely avoids any responsibility. Like he will take a hour coming home and stop by his friends house otw . He will sit down stairs for hours knowing I won’t go down there bc I’m uncomfy . So I have the baby then.
We have been out maybe 2-3 times sense I had him & he refused to push the stroller c change or anything. In fact we got to the mall and said he needed to split up and I had the baby.
I feel he only wants the baby when it’s for … attention? Like to post the baby on social media or if his family is here he will take him .

I just feel like on days he doesn’t have work the next morning he should be helping , and if he is up early before work while I’m still sleeping he should get the baby instead of scrolling on reels for 3 hours .

Honestly he has really ruined my new born phase with my son. Within the first week of us being home I had to full on switch to survival mode I would call it. He would complain if dinner wasn’t done or if the room was a mess , he would complain if the diaper caddy had no diapers which really makes no sense bc he didn’t even changed the diapers . It was just everything.
I’m just wondering if there is anything I could say to get some type of help out of him.
I tried reaching out to his mother but honestly his hole family is oblivious to his behaviour.

Should I respect his wishes??

I’ve been a SAHM for 4 years now and my husband does a great job providing for our family and we never need for anything. With that i still had to sacrifice some wants like shopping when I want getting my hair and nails done regularly so when I can I try to supplement for my wants and savings by selling my craft items at vendor markets and recently I’ve started donating plasma. Which has been consistent income for me. $125 twice a week. Well my husband has expressed that he doesn’t like me donating plasma. He feels like it’s not worth it to put my body through those conditions for $125. He even went out to sell one of his guns today and gave me all the money and told me “I shouldn’t have to donate plasma no more”. That was so sweet but I disagree. I planned on continuing to donate plasma to save for my kids birthdays thats coming up, a trip we have planned and our anniversary. I don’t know what to do. I finally found something that pays something consistently and my husband is against it. What should I do?

AITA?

This isn't a major issue, just wondering if I'm being a bit of an asshole.

• I do shift work, 5 out of 7 days, full-time.
• My partner works from home (mostly, sometimes he goes into the office) M-F, full-time.

Anyway, whenever I have a day off during the week he gets in his feelings when I make myself food (breakfast and lunch) but not him. His reason is he's working, I'm not - Which is fair but I've asked him how many times on a weekend has he gotten up, on his day off and made me breakfast and a lunch to take with me to work? You guessed it, 0.

So basically, just because I'm at home I don't think the responsibility to feed him should automatically fall on me when he manages to feed himself just fine while I'm at work.
