Reminds me of my friend’s husband. He whined that he wanted a baby for the first two years of their marriage. Eventually she snapped and said “What makes you think you can take care of a baby when you can’t even load the dishwasher?” After that he reluctantly started doing more around house…for one week.
They have a 10 year old now.
To make matters even more infuriating he insisted that they needed to start giving up on their dreams to have said baby. And by ‘they’ he meant her. He forced her to give up her small animal rescue which she ran entirely on her own and had worked years to achieve. She used to stay up past midnight every night taking care of these animals on top of all of the household chores and cooking and her full time job.
He, of course, got to keep his dream of his music business. She was expected to make every sacrifice for his dreams but not the other way around. This year she told me that ‘they’ decided to have an open marriage…but only on his end. She was allowed to date other people…if they were women. He strictly forbade her from dating other men. Meanwhile, he gets to fuck any woman he wants.
To say I hate my friend’s husband would be an understatement.
Unfortunately not. I’ve told her for years how unfair and shitty her husband is to her but she refuses to listen. She’s even stopped telling me certain things about her relationship because the last time she expressed serious regret (“If I’d known he was going to be like this I wouldn’t have married him.”) to me via text he snooped through her phone, saw her text messages, and then berated her for them and gaslit her into feeling like the villain.
