Pregnant Mom Divides Opinion After Furious Rant About Husband

A pregnant woman has divided opinion after a very lengthy rant about how her husband's inability to listen to her is ruining their marriage.

The mom, thought to be from the United Kingdom, shared an extensive rundown of all the multiple occasions her husband had frustrated her during the day, from forgetting her son's sun hat to accidentally injuring their dog's throat during a grooming accident.

She said her husband's refusal to listen to her requests has led her to "breaking point" and that she had even considered installing cameras in her home to prove she had said certain things to her partner.

After sharing her dilemma to Mumsnet, users were drastically divided, with some calling the woman's husband a "complete nightmare" while others felt the mom herself sounded like "hard work."

The woman, who is 37 weeks pregnant, began by explaining she is at her "wits end" because her teacher husband "cannot or will not listen to anything I ever say to him" before giving a rundown of their day.

In the morning, the woman became annoyed because her husband forgot to take six of the 30 cakes they had baked the night before to the school bake sale, despite her reminding him to pack them.

He then failed to give their young son his sunhat from the car before nursery, however he "forgot" by the time they had arrived there.

When the couple returned home, she asked if they could clear some clutter from their kitchen, which he agreed to, however appeared to forget immediately and left the room.

Shortly after this, the couple had an argument about the temperature inside the home, despite having had the same discussion the evening before.

Then, when the husband decided he wanted to groom one of their two dogs, the mother asked him not to, because it was too hot, too messy and they wouldn't have time before having to pick up their son.

However he ignored her and groomed the dog, leaving the scissors and clippers out while going to pick up their son. When their son returned home, he began playing with the clippers and so his mother put them away.

The husband then continued to groom the dog with the scissors, despite his wife asking him not to, and accidentally cut the dog across the throat, meaning he had to take the animal to an emergency vet appointment.

Their dog had to be put under anesthetic to have its wound flushed and stitches and was given antibiotics, which the mom was unable to administer because she is allergic and heavily pregnant. The couple were also advised to keep their two dogs separate after returning home.

However after bringing the dog home, the husband allowed the two dogs to go into the same room, only separating them after constant badgering from his wife.

While cooking dinner the mom went to check on the injured dog and asked her husband to stir their dinner and to check the draft of an email she was sending for work. However when she returned, the dinner was burnt and he hadn't read the email.

The couple had a discussion about the husband's lack of listening skills, however began to argue once again after the husband refused to help his wife clear the bedroom and began snoring before she could fall asleep.

After several more incidents including a broken glass and failing to give the dog its antibiotics, the mother took to Mumsnet to ask for advice, writing: "How do I get him to listen to me?!

"I've considered getting cameras to prove I've said things but I don't think that'll actually make him listen. DH [Dear Husband] has suggested I write things down and him check them so I know he's actually acknowledged it but that doesn't work when I send him messages and he replies

"I'm at breaking point. He has no disabilities or hearing problems or learning difficulties. Our marriage is great apart from this issue but it feels like it's every conversation we have now. Please tell me if someone else has had this problem and somehow fixed it?!

"I know, I sound like hard work, but I have to be hard work because otherwise everything descends into absolute anarchy. I don't want to be such hard work."

The post received over 350 comments, with other users divided over the issue, with one writing: "You don't sound like hard work to me, your DH sounds like a bloody nightmare and quite frankly, I wouldn't be able to live with him. Your poor dog."

Another agreed: "Wow - he sounds like a complete nightmare and he is going to drive you to be an angry and bitter person!"

However some users sided with her husband, with one writing: "You need to let some stuff go and let him fix stuff when it goes wrong. He has probably started to filter you out tbh."

"You do sound like lots of hard work. It seems like your relentless requests have utterly exhausted your husband and he has switched off as a coping mechanism," said another.
