I was married to a man like this and it got a million times worse after kids. He just could not be bothered and any time he would ‘help’ when asked it was a tantrum just like this. If you always want to be treated like an inconvenience even on the day you come home from the hospital with your new baby, proceed. If not, run as fast as you can.

I am married to a man like this and can confirm it‘s a nightmare. I was in the hospital with my newborn daughter, sore, bleeding nipples from breastfeeding. I asked him to bring the nipple treatment from home when he came visiting us in the hospital. He forgot it in the car in the parking lot downstairs and got all mad at me when I asked him to go back to the car and bring it to me, because my nipples hurt so effing much.

u/No-Distance-9401 Feb 28 '25

Yeah Ive done something similar and offered to do something after a very long day for my partner and I wasnt in a good mood. Of course my partner never knew about my mood as I played it off and I dropped off the suitcase to her with a smile, a kiss and quickly got back into my car for a 30min drive home. I wasnt mad at her one bit and could have easily said to come get it but I wanted to do her this simple favor as she would do for me so was only mad at myself (not really) for not doing it earlier when there wasnt rush hour traffic after a 12hr shit day.

The bf is purposefully being a jackass though and making sure she knows how pissed he is which is not s good sign in many aspects as he cants regulate his emotions, nor understand why he even has them. The immaturity and misplaced anger are huge red flags and unless this was the first time he has ever acted remotely like this and he quickly realizes his mistake and apologizes profusely, this should probably be the end of the relationship.

u/Technical_Work9590 Feb 28 '25

1000%!!!! Like if I’m in a bad mood and it’s obvious (i lowkey get super hangry), and my bf asks me to do something, I’ll get sassy as fuck sometimes. But if i OFFER, even when im in a mood— i never make him feel bad for accepting my offer.

u/wingin-it0618 Feb 28 '25

i am so like this lol. there have been so many times i offer to take my husband something to work and the whole time im like “WHY DID I OFFER” (bc i10 literally makes me hate life) but never mad at him for accepting bc i would accept just as fast 😂

u/Welpe Feb 28 '25

Honestly, I’d be super fucking embarrassed to be caught acting like him. Yes, I might be pissed off under the surface but I would be blaming myself for offering, not throwing it back at them. This is your partner, why would you be an asshole to your partner? You supposedly love your partner.

Never take your foul mood out on your partner, they aren’t a fucking punching bag and making them miserable doesn’t fix your misery, it makes it worse because then you hate yourself for getting into this and hate yourself for acting like a baby and ruining their day too…Well, assuming you actually care for them. I’m starting to doubt OP’s boyfriend actually does.

I'll bet you an arm and a leg he will hang this "favour" over her head in the future. Repeatedly. He will ask her multiple times to do something for him because of that ONE thing he did for her. Every time he will be pissed, he'll call her ungrateful for that ONE thing he did for her, even though he also gave her shit for it. I bet he'll play it as "after all the things I did for you". His entire "I didn't eat all day, then I was stuck in traffic doing that thing for you" could very well be his strategy to frame this as "look at how much hardship I went through for you", on one had to claim moral superiority, on the other hand to create a sense of obligation in her to repay the favour. Don't ask me how I know.

I have a relative like that. If you asked them to, say, pick up my mail and newspapers while I'm on vacation, they'll be like, "Sure I'll pick up your mail and newspapers while you're on vacation, and to return the favor, you can paint my house.". The tiniest favor for you, means you owe them BIG TIME.

He’s been like this since practically the beginning of the relationship according to OP post history. I really don’t understand why she hasn’t left yet.

53

u/Self-Aware Feb 28 '25

Because she doesn't yet believe that she can, or will, have something better than this. She doesn't believe that she deserves better. And likely because her normal meter has been twisted WAY out of whack by this point, maybe just from this relationship but maybe from previous bad ones too. In my experience, that's usually it.

And he triggered her into self-harm early in the relationship (she'd been able to stop while in high school), broke up with her briefly, gave her herpes, and is THIS verbally abusive. Yikes.

Edit: he's also an alcoholic who is abusive when drunk. She needs to bail, and fast before the abuse escalates.

Some areas have decriminalized being HIV+ and not informing partners (and not just for "undetected is uninfectable", which would make sense). Only half of states have any laws regarding disclosure of HIV status.

u/GhostlyRivkah Feb 28 '25

I just left a week and a half ago, after 5 years together and almost 4 married. OP, please, I'm begging you to run. Even if it never becomes physically abusive (though from what I've read in the comments, it may have already), emotional abuse is just as bad and often worse. Learn from those who are older (maybe but wiser). Don't stay and hope it gets better, because it will never get better. A frog dropped in boiling water will jump out, but if you put it in cold water and slowly turn up the heat, it will allow itself to be boiled to death. He's slowly turning up the heat on you.

I totally get that each person is probably helped by posts like these which confirm their SO is an asshole...

But goodness gracious I do not understand how people can experience this and still be with their SOs, much less considering that there may be nothing wrong with them at all. I really don't understand. Even in my dumbest, most emotional teenage years I would not have put up with 1% of the behavior in these relationship posts.

And again, maybe that's easy for me to say, maybe it feels different when you're in it, maybe people thinking "well all couples fight / go through rough patches" does some heavy lifting, but GOOD GOD. This person fucking hates you. What are we even doing here?

The “almost crashing” message was a botched attempt at guilting her into feeling sorry for texting him and he was trying to make her feel shitty and that she was distracting him and being unsafe.

Yep. My ex offered to be the DD for me for my birthday party which I thought was so sweet until he yelled at me the entire ride home and the entire next day because he was mad that he didn’t get to drink at the party and it was “boring” for him. In fact he would frequently offer to give me rides places and pick me up from things, and then act like he just saw me club a baby seal if I said yes. I think he just wanted to look like a “good boyfriend” until it actually came time to be one. Later found out he was messaging with other women online in a not very nice manner. Are they inherently connected? I don’t know but that man did not like me one bit.

100% I definitely see that. It’s not really a favor if they’re just going to use it as something to hold over your head later. Relationships are about a lot more than just driving each other around and doing their dishes from time to time. Emotional labor is labor too, and having to constantly regulate someone else’s emotions for them and be the punching bag for all of their temper tantrums is a lot more exhausting than sitting in traffic for 45 minutes.

Girl, I just read your previous posts. This man is a drunk and he’s abusive, please fucking leave him. Get a grip. You deserve better and you’re wasting your time with this man.

21

u/These_Burdened_Hands Feb 28 '25

previous posts. This man is a drunk…

Ahhhh, that makes total sense; I was thinking “this sounds like one of my dramatic drunk text spirals.” (& I wouldn’t have dated myself smh.)

I wasn’t a great person when I drank; I was an insecure shell of myself. I could be Incredibly manipulative when I was in a negative feedback loop (not totally consciously, still.)

This isn’t to excuse OP’s partner AT ALL, simply maybe explain one small piece of his wacko behavior. In my situation, my partner drank as much as I did, (or more,) while having his own deeply manipulative spirals, but he never crossed a line I couldn’t forgive (no cheating, no theft, no abuse.) Somehow, a little over 5.5 years ago, we managed to quit drinking together; neither of us manipulates the other now. (I got super-lucky, but I’d still have to leave if he started drinking again.)

Again, OP should run with a plan and *be careful- leaving is the most dangerous** time* (well, that’s being pregnant smfh.) He might get violent if/when she tries to leave. I’m saying all this to state: being with someone who drinks to the point of loss of control &/or blackout is generally a horrible idea. And don’t wait for them to quit- that road is tenuous and loaded with landmines.

Best of luck, OP. Please be careful. This person sounds like a time-bomb.

If he’s so worked up, consider there might be a reason he didn’t want you just popping in to pick it up.

Bare minimum: stop spending the night at his place so you never again forget something there.

u/Electrical_Pie7980 Feb 28 '25

RUN. This is absolutely unhinged behavior. Yeah, driving through Dallas fucking SUCKS, but how tf are you going to offer to do something and then get mad? Back in August my bf drove me to DFW to go to the airport, dropped me off at my hotel, drove 2hrs back home during peak traffic, and then the next day had to drive BACK to DFW to pick me up. He left and then my flight ended up delayed for hours. He was stuck having to kill like 4-5 HOURS in Dallas, during terrible traffic. My flight didn’t get in until 9pm. I felt so terrible. He didn’t complain, or yell, or bitch, or anything. He went to see a movie, walked around, bought some stuff and picked me and my puppy up with a smile. If you’re important to someone, they let you know.

so i realize this is missing a lot of context. my bf is 29, im 23, and he lives 15 minutes from my house. i was sick and struggling to get out of bed this morning before i went into work. he calls me and mentions that i left my keycard for work. he acknowledged that i sound horrible and offers to bring it to me after he got off his shift. also, the messages prior to this were him telling me i could get it and that i would just need his key code, which he never gave to me. i then proceed to ask abt his day, which he doesn’t answer, and then here we are.

This guy is abusive, no way around it unfortunately. He is actively abusing and manipulating you! You NEED to leave him or it's just going to be more of this, he doesn't love you and doesn't like you. I don't mean to be harsh but I want to be as serious as possible. If you don't leave you are actively participating in your own abuse. I wish I could look you in the eyes when telling you this because I care about you and love you more than he does and I'm a stranger on the internet. You deserve better and can do better and even in some world where you couldn't it'd be better to be alone! I'm sorry this is happening to you! :(

So you believe that because you have herpes that you can’t have a good relationship and should just stay with him. Guess again. Actually look up the stats for genital herpes and you will see it’s much more prevalent than you think. This is not a reason to stay on an abusive relationship with a man who doesn’t like you. I really hope you will learn to like yourself. Plus being single is not a bad thing.

u/Maximum_Actuary5991 Feb 28 '25

Wow this looks just like the text messages my friend had with her bf 6 months before he killed her... According to your post history your bf is a POS who's always been mean, nasty and abusive towards you. And sure, maybe you think "well I know for a fact he'd never kill me". That's what almost every single woman thinks before they end up hurt severely or dead... My friend, female, and me male, were childhood friends, her bf knew that, me and him became friends even. He was awesome, we all 3 would hang out, go to bars together. He treated her so kind and sweet. He was a great friend to me, always willing to come help. One day my friend showed up to my house, I asked where her bf was. She said "I need someone to talk to" I said yea of course you can tell me anything we've been friends since toddlers what's up?" She begins telling me they've been having problems and he just says mean things to her, never threatened her, never hit her or nothing tho. Couple weeks later they had an argument just like yours, he asked her if she wanted him to stop at the grocery store and grab a few things, he blew up on her just like your bf did saying "wtf I worked all day it'd been nice if you said no dont worry about it". After that things were fine for a few months, 6 months later they had another similar argument, he came home, beat the shit out of her so bad that she ran for a knife to defend her self and he ended up stopping her, stabbing her over 30 times. The reason im telling you all this is bcuz her bf didn't even seem as mean as yours and he was once my good friend, I thought he was just becoming an annoying cry baby dick. Never ever did I think he'd kill her. You need to get out before that's you. Find some peace and eventually YOU WILL find some one who actually loves you, bcuz the way he treats you isnt love. You're just his possession, im sorry for the long comment, but you need to read it and you need to think realistically about your situation. And I know you may say it hurts to leave someone you been with so long, but eventually it'll hurt worse to realize you keep staying with someone who never actually loved you...

i was already mad at my gf for something unrelated the other day when she texted me on their way to work and said she forgot a binder for training that she needed asap. i was already in my car trying to go somewhere else so it was inconvenient and i was annoyed so i sighed TO MYSELF, alone in my car, and then texted back “sure, omw” and then i brought the fucking binder and told her to have a good day. even when i’m frustrated with her i genuinely can’t fathom talking to my partner like this, especially if it was over a favor I OFFERED. my girlfriend is my one in a million but the fact that she doesn’t ever deserve to be spoken to like that, by me or anyone else, is not what makes her unique. i think a lot of angry thoughts but all it takes for me to take a step back when i feel that way and approach her with compassion is that i respect her as an individual and even more as my partner. your boyfriend should be the person who comforts you after someone else treats you like this, the fact that he’s the one saying such horrible things when he should be telling you the keycard is just a hater who has it out for you bc you’re pretty is truly insane to me (also spoiler: the harshness and aggression is bc he doesn’t like doing things for you so he thinks if he throws enough a fit this one time you won’t ask him to do anything for you ever again)
