Relationships

10 months in and he's turning into the arsehole from hell

Been together around 10 months, almost a year. At first he was sweet as pie, funny, full of energy, ideas and enthusiasm and I loved him to bits. Fuck I wanted to marry the bloke.
Then after about 6 months he started to change somewhat. Still lovely 90% of the time but also very whiny. Going on and on about depressing stuff, blowing hot and cold on me. I talked to him, I was terrified of losing him and he seemed to relish in that. When he was going away he'd say stuff like "oh a whole night/week without me - you are going to miss me aren't you! Aww" like he loved the thought of me being upset.
Now he moans about my son every opportunity he gets saying he's lazy, selfish, thoughtless, mucky etc etc. he's 14, that's his job!! What he fails to remember is that my son is a high performer academically having already gained a gcse grade a in science at 14 - gets up 6 mornings a week at 6am to do a paper round and is often the first person his friends call if they are upset and need to talk. Because if this, he's also a peer mentor at school. Hardly hooligan of the year material!

A few weeks ago dp got drunk and was really verbally horrible to me, had me in tears. He apologised and said he was just stressed. He got drunk last night and told me his kids were better than my kids, he's not used to living like a set of estatees because his ex wife and kids are not like "my lot" but he puts up with it because he loves me. Also, after asking him where he stands on marriage as it is important to me he said he probably wouldn't want to marry again, pointed out the fact that I've never been married and asked where my past "engaged" relationships had got me and then said he couldn't imagine that any if my ex's truly wanted to marry me, they probably just felt like they had to ask.

Looser . Get rid.
Lifes too short for wasting time.
You will not change him, now he has 'settled' in you are seeing his true colours.
He should be encouraging your son , not being a knobber .

He sounds like a nasty piece of work. He's only going to get worse, so please get rid of him, for your son's sake if nothing else.

Just be very glad he's showing his true colours now, and not after you're committed.
Get angry. How DARE he speak about your son (and you) that way?

Out. Now.

crikey, I agree, bin him. Isn't it true that their true colours come out after about a year together/

He doesn't just have a red flag, he has a village worth of bunting of them. You and your children deserve so much more than him!

Please get rid of him. Think of yourself and your children. It's taken ten months for his true colours to come out.

Alcohol is sometimes like a truth serum.

I hope you have already dumped him. If it were me, by the time he got round to moaning about my son he would have been gone.

Don't waste time, get rid.

10 months?

There's no reason on earth why you should continue to put up with this.

You don't have children together, you don't have any ties, you can walk away and forget about him forever.

He is telling you who he is and the life you can expect with him. LISTEN

He is nasty to your son, he is nasty to you, he makes fun of your feelings, he makes fun of your past relationships. He can't control his drink.

It sounds like emotional abuse to me. Get rid of him.

Seriously, why would you want to marry this man? Better being single with the chance of being happy, than guaranteeing years of misery with a twat like that.

He's horrible to your son. The absolute worst thing you could do to your child right now is stay with this prick.

Don't let this relationship get to a year together. He sounds dreadful. Why would you want to saddle yourself with someone that obviously looks down on you and "your lot" like this. He must be a catch in his own mind. Sounds like he's not really over being outed from his ex's life either.

Your son sounds lovely. Please don't import this vile excuse for a man into his life.
