What y’all think.. Is he ungrateful or Am I not understanding ??

Ladies have yall had to deal with things from your significant other that you had no part of. Well let me tell yall what I’ve been going through.
When my dude gets very upset he start breaking shit. I’ve told him numerous of times that he needs to see someone about his anger issues cause it’s really a damn problem then after the shit broken he wants to have an attitude that the shit broken, like it’s my fault. Mine yall he has broken 6 phones and all being very expensive (3 Samsung notes and 3 iPhones), 2 65 in. TVs, a brand new computer desk and the gaming desk. This all since we’ve been together and out of everything this year he recently broke two iphones both his, the gaming chair and table ( which I brought for his bday last year $1200), & tv (Samsung $800)… then my dumb ass turned around and bought it again after he broke it along with steering wheel ($300). He brought his own tv. So mine yall I didn’t buy him another phone since he wanna keep breaking shit. So he been without a phone for a few months and we talked whenever he was around WiFi from our daughter play phone. He was mad about him not being able to contact me and everybody have iPads and tablets and him not having one. So me being me, I ordered him a nice Samsung A9 tablet but he was so ungrateful because Amazon sent the wrong case and wanted what he wanted. Then tried to break it cause the case he wanted was on back order. Then got pissed cause he still don’t have a phone. I’m like well I shouldn’t have gotten the tablet if you gone be like this. Went to metro to see if we can find a new phone cause the places that fixed phones said that his phone can be fix but he gone always have issues with it and it best to get a new one. While there got him a tablet case and no phone due to the one he wanted wasn’t in stock waiting on shipment to come. Went home to see if I can order him one thru Tmobile on my account he didn’t want that. Eventually he found what he wanted at Verizon but still had an attitude cause he had to wait til Monday that just left and it was ordered last week Thursday. He tells me I’m idc if he has things and blah blah blah I’m so over this. Am I not being understanding and accommodating or his being very selfish and ungrateful? I told him moving forward I won’t be doing shit else he’s worse than the children breaking shit then getting mad. I won’t be replacing anything else cause everything I buy he continuously destroys with no remorse so fuck going out my way to please and do for him. I replace more shit with him than the kids. I still have gotten my son a new complete setup but did his twice. Nope not no more. I’m focusing on rebuilding for my kids and fuck trying to make sure he’s good.

I don’t even have to get thru the whole post to know, you’re in the right if you leave, deprioritize him and force him to be accountable for his own actions. I’m experienced in DV since my childhood and also having my own anger issues where I broke inanimate objects. This is an issue for him to face, for me my anger revealed tender vulnerable sadness, grief. Emotions that need empathy & compassion, but anger and becoming violent resists & rejects the love the angry/sad person needs to feel. This behavior of breaking things could likely lead to escalation to real ab*se. And him blaming you, is a sign of his incapacity to take accountability for his actions. I’d say there’s deep insecurity, shame, maybe even grief in there as I can relate to the issues it sounds like he has. Which is also why I know it’s his responsibility and if he’s not willing to seek therapy, go to online support groups etc then he’s a lost cause until he wants to heal. I suggest “sharewell” a online support groups

You are one step away from the thing being smashed up - is your face.

What he’s doing is classed as physical abuse. You are in an abusive relationship. Fuck buying him anything, I would be moving heaven and earth to get myself and my kids away from him!

He's an absolute manchild, I'm sorry to say. He doesn't seem to be concerned about being a good example for your kids at all. Honey, if you don't need him, leave him. It sounds like you have your own money. A man like that doesn't deserve you and your children will see dad being a nightmare and think that's ok or have their own reactions to his violent and somewhat abusive behavior. He doesn't deserve a damned thing. Leave him. I'm sorry to say. I know it's easier said than done but you need an actual man.

Are we talking about your child or your partner? Because what? Why are you even buying him these things in the first place when he breaks them LIKE A CHILD 🫪

It sounds like, You’re just a bank for him in his eyes, and he’s VERY immature, selfish and ungrateful. Why should it be your problem to “care if he has things” when he breaks the things he has repeatedly. Doesn’t take accountability or having any interest in working on his anger issues which are violent and will just get worse when enabled.

What a shitty attempt at manipulation, please don’t let it continue to work.

Can we just "make time"?

Here's our situation. I'm on maternity leave, with a baby, and a toddler (who goes to nursery part time). I'm managing to work out 4-5 times a week, from 6 to 7am (often baby wakes up sometime in that window so I'll put him down with some toys for a little while).
My partner works lots of weekends in preparation for a month-long trip he'll do by himself. In addition to this, sometimes he comes home late in the evening because he's also doing an online training course which he does at his office after work.
This morning he told me that I should do a training course too. I said "When?!".
And he said that "It's all about willpower" and "It's just like my workout, I didn't have the time so I made up that time". Which I find irritating...but does he have a point?
Has anyone been able to finish online training while on mat leave?
Or is that ridiculous because he's literally away all the time?!
(I'm not looking for validation by the way, it struck me as ridiculous but happy to be proven wrong!)

Leaving baby to cry

My baby is nearly 3 months old and my partner is having a go at me because I always comfort my baby when he is crying and dont like to leave him to cry it out at this young age? Am I wrong for this or right?

Nursery drop offs

My 1 year old has been going to nursery for nearly 4 weeks and the drop off’s are getting worse not better. He screams, crys and clings onto me so neither myself or a nursery worker can hand him over. As soon as we walk up to the door he realises and cries before I’ve even rung the bell for someone to come out. I’ve never seen him so distressed until now😭 His anxiety is so bad he now cries through his baby groups he’s been happily going too for. Once he is in he is settled but the drops off are awful for the both of us. months. I know it’ll take time but surely there’d be even a slight improvement by a month? I don’t know what to do if this continues as it feels so wrong leaving him in such a bad state

am i crazy or???

Mind you, 41 days Postpartum.
My birthday is end of july. My husband wants to take me out for an overnight at a casino 30 minutes from home.
that’s not my issue.
my issue is that he asked his mom to watch our baby while we go and this was the 1st i heard of even a bday trip AND her potentially baby sitting.
(setting the scene)
1. we live with my mom and her husband.
2. i’ve only met his mom 4 times.
3. we never talked about who will watch her.
he thinks i’m upset because he asked his mom.
his mom is the 2nd issue, my 1st issue is that we didn’t talk about where MY baby will go during this overnight….
like am i crazyyyyy or ???
