Update to: Fights fears and stress.

nzmum

About a week ago I posted about my DF and some of the problems I have been having with him. You ladies were all really supportive. He came home on friday and started drinking like normal. I asked him to help with taking out the rubbish and doing the dishes. He refused and we got into a massive fight. Normally when we have a fight, I just go to bed and sulk. This time, I went into my room and packed a bag and left for my mothers. I didn't hear from him all weekend and I thought that it was over and I started regretting it.

On Sunday night, he gave me a call and asked me to come home. I walked into the house to find the dishes were done, there was no full rubbish bin, he had hovered and mopped, tipped out his alcohol and made us a lovely dinner with flowers and a letter.

He basically said that he was sorry for being a jerk and treating me badly. He loved me with all his heart and he doesn't want to lose me. He promised to help out more and be more understanding of my needs.

So basically I took your advice and shocked him to his core and he snapped out of his funk and is now the doting dad and fiance I needed him to be from the start. He is not entirely off the hook though and we are going to go through counselling to help smooth out the wrinkles before a baby gets thrown in.

Thank you April Bumpies x

I am glad that you stood up for yourself and gave him some time to think. Counseling will help but it sounds like a good first step.

I'm glad things are starting to improve and that he took the hint. Random question: where are you from (state/country)?

I am glad he is working on things. I think the counseling will be great for you two. Counseling can be a great way to learn how to communicate more effectively.
