So my bf (31) and I (26) have been together almost 7 years. We have a 5 and a 1 year old. I’m getting so tired of his shit…
Every night, he goes in the room, lays down, gets on his phone, and eventually goes to sleep. He leaves his game and tv on, leaves the lights on, if there’s clothes or other things on the bed he just scoots them to my side of the bed, and I’m TIRED.
Tonight, I’m trying to get ready for bed. I’m diabetic so I had to do my shot, take my supplements, use the bathroom, clean off our 1 year olds table, fill up my Stanley, and change diaper. Our youngest is ATTACHED to me. I’m still breastfeeding and my bf likes to use that as an excuse to not get him to sleep or hold him while I do my night routine. Tonight, he tried to bring him to me while I’m trying to use the bathroom, got mad bc I said no, then took my Stanley that I had just filled up, drinks some of it then gives some to our toddler, then goes in the room saying “shut up you on some goofy shit.” Atp I’m irritated. I don’t understand why he can’t take care of his own son. Why do you have to annoy me when I already don’t get any help.
I wanna leave him so bad things like this happen everyday and I’m just emotionally numb and exhausted. Am I overreacting?

Valid crash out but you have to find the strength to leave him bc if its been going on for so long then he is NEVER changing. You deserve so much better but you won't be able to get it if you stay with dude like that. This has been said with zero judgment just want to i genuinely wish you rip him a new one and tell him to stay away

Have you sat down and communicated calmly about things you need from him? Dr.Chavonnes podcast is awesome and gave me so many new communication skills. One of her big things is to make sure you know what you need before you start asking your partner. So sit down during your scroll time and think about what explicitly you need from him to make the relationship work. And when you calmly sit down with him, talk these points through and ask what he thinks and if these are possible.

Shut up ? Who does he think he's talking to ? 😅
What a lazy little prick. If he wants to live in a mess, let him do it on his own.
What's actually the point of having him if he doesn't parent with you, isn't a good partner to you and doesn't help keep the house in order ? Is he just your 3rd child ?
