UPDATE IN COMMENTS: gender roles do not exist in my house... so wtf!?!?
My df smokes cigars. He smokes his last one last night maybe 8-9. He goes out but forgets to get more. Then tells me to go get them... Why am I SUPPOSE to go get them for him!? Like really dude? You were just out their Wth!? So I tell him its cold and dark you go walk up there and get them. Then he says that bc I'm the woman so I'm suppose to go to the store.... -_- um what??! So then I told him he has to wait... till tomorrow(today).. so he goes to work and says please get my cigars today.. ok.. so I go get them. Well I took 2 extra dollars bc I'm hungry and he thinks he has the right to tell me I can't get anything.... why not? Oh bc he said hes the man and if hes not hungry, I know your not! :[ I still got my food but seriously Wtf is up with that ish! This gender role thing he has going on lately is pissing me off!! Idc if he thinks he has more "power" bc he's a man.. that's not how I was raised. Like when I make dinner. I have always put equal amounts of food on each plate. Now He says in my side of the family the man gets more food then the woman....well this isn't the damn 1960s! And I'm going to eat just as much -if not more then- you! He's never said stupid s*** like this till about a month ago! I just don't get it! I mean I know older people are more set in their ways but come on its the 2000's not the 1900's!!
Weird that it's a sudden change in Attitude.. Has he been watching too many old school movies or something?
I'd be telling him to now the lawns on a weekly basis, repainting the fence, polish my car, buy me expensive jewellery etc if he thinks these 'roles' should exist.. What a jerk!
In my house we hsve a saying: If it's not on the list, it doesn't exist. I am generally the one who runs errands, but I don't read minds. If something is not on the calendar or on the shopping list I'm not doing it
Put it on the list and I'll pick it up next time it's convenient to work in with the rest if my errands. If you want it before that, you get it.
I'd have lost my s*** at the first reference of me not doing my "woman's job." And there's no way in hell I'd ever go get his cigars after that incident, unless it was to stuff them down his throat. I have zero, and I'm deadly serious about zero, tolerance for the degradation of women. Y'all need to have a good long talk, because if this is truly a sudden change something is going on with him.
I cant believe you went and got his cigars. If he were treating me like I had a specific "role" he'd be doing his own laundry cooking his own meals and doing his own damn shopping. I do nice things for my husband because I want to not because its expected or I have to. The moment he starts acting entitled is the moment I stop.
When he gets home I'm going to have to have a sit down and talk with him. Normally it wouldn't even bother me at all! Id just brush it off and roll my eyes. But now that our dd is here its different. She has to know she is equal to a man and not below one. She is only 5 months but old habits start early...(maybe not that early but still) although he is great with her and i couldnt have asked for a better father for her, he needs to show her how she should be treated by treating her mom(me) with respect. So a talk has to be in order! I know it does. I am kinda lost on how to bring it up. Its definitely NOT an everyday thing! At all!!!
Ain't no way. No, dear Lord. I would have bought food abd not gotten the cigars.
But, I am the one who enjoys paying for first dates and smokes and collects pipes and tobacco so I think the guys I get with know I don't play gender roles well. I'd just have a talk with him. After that, I'd ignore his comments. Not follow him up.
Nothing more is going on. I know for a fact. Idk why his attitude changed. Nothing has happened with us. Just his attitude. I don't let him get away with that s*** . Like I said i still do what iv always done it just pisses me off that he said that. He is usually the sweetest person.... I told him that crap isn't flying with me... and their is no excuse for it! I'm not just going to up and leave him. I do love him and he loves me and our dd but I won't let him "degrade" me per say. Its not like he's beating me up every night. He never laid a hand on a female. But as women we worked hard to have rights and not be below a man. I told him he wasn't any better than I am and he said he don't think he is but his attitude says different. I want to have a serious talk with him and tell him its not ok but Im not good when bringing s*** up. Like I always feel like what's in the past stays in the past.. I feel weird just bringing stuff up like that... idk why. I think its bc I don't want the other person to be like your just now bringing this up when you should have done it when it first happened. If that makes sense. Dd keeps trying to take phone. She wants to chat too. Lol
Pp it just started a month ago! We have been together for two and half years! I dk what his issue is. And I still do what I always have done. But seriously to say s*** like I'm the man and your the woman is a no go in my house! I dc if hes the damn president! That s*** don't fly with me! You don't get more just bc your a man. You get more when you earn it! And as of right now he didn't earn anything that I didn't. He works but I work too. He may make more than I but my job is much harder than his. I believe a woman is just as equal as a man is.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄
Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, to...
did every ones SO go to EVERY dr appointment with them?? im at my appointment and its not an ultrasound or anything so i told my boyfriend he can stay home and sleep... im here and everyone has their guy with them.. im feeling lonely now:/
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
I would seriously just laugh if my husband ever said anything like that to me...
I wouldn't be getting him cigs either, if his ass wants to be unhealthy then his ass can go buy them... Oh and buy me a candy bar while your at it!!!
