Update on my drug convo with DH

wickedwitch70's picture

Basically, he doesn't care about the weed smoking. He only cares because I am stressing him out and he has enough stress at work to deal with. He doesn't need to come home to my nagging. He told me what he doesn't know doesn't hurt. I said well you do know...I am telling you. So because I was starting to get mad and it was interrupting his evening of football, he went up to the cave and talked to junior to shut me up. I didn't hear it but I'm sure it was candy coated. He came back down and proceeded to yell at me. Told me if I wouldn't go looking then I wouldn't have to worry about it. He said a lot of things but what it boils down to is...mind your own business and quit stressing me out. I made dinner because that's all I'm good for (and cleaning) and went up to my room for the night. He came up later and said nothing to me. Got in bed and turned his back on me. I said you are directing your anger at the wrong person. He said work is number one and my petty problems are secondary. Left this morning without a goodbye. This man very obviously does not care what his kid does. He says "he's not out robbing stores or breaking into houses and gets decent grades (yeah I overheard you tell him he had missing assignments and grade was slipping... liar) so who cares if he smokes pot?" I am done. I have nothing further to do with that kid. Smoke up baby...pop those pills. Booze will be next. Probably already steals his dads beers. He doesn't keep track of how many he has so it would be easy.
The negative vibe in this house for me is unbearable at times (my DH would say I'm the cause of it). I bet that kid had a nice laugh when he heard us fighting. Probably thinks with every fight it gets closer to me leaving and that would be heaven for him. He would love for me to leave. I'd rather stay here and make his life hell like he's done to me for almost a decade. This is my house and was my house before he squatted here. Even though I don't feel like it anymore. I feel like a cook and maid. Three more years (if I don't go insane before that)...he will be just a bad odor left in my house. I can buy lots of lysol.
So again...I am very done. I don't want him to talk to me about that kid ever. I will not do anything for him. I don't anyway. Nothing from me for Christmas either. He's a rat that lurks in my house and eats my food but I can't exterminate. Just gotta live with him. One day he will start to get into trouble and it won't be my problem. He can do drugs in my house, never shower (been over a week now) or do his laundry (goes a couple months until he gets told) and sit and play video games 24/7.
I'm going to live as though he doesn't exist. I try to do that but the fact he gets away with everything starts to get on my nerves.

If I called the cops, it would be over. My marriage and my life. Yes pot is legal here. DH would just say it's his. I can't do anything. This kid runs the show and he knows it. You can see it on his face. He has dad wrapped. I am just an annoying insect at his picnic.

This is hauntingly familiar to me

Only it wasn't my house it was his

We had two smaller children ATT

I found SD stash when I was doing laundry

First time I didn't say anything. I had been accused of making trouble before you see

Second time I decided I had to say something what with the two smaller children and the legal risks

My husband was more worried about every move I made

Spending too much time on hobbies and reading and such

Pissed me off because I was doing all the right things

Working a forty hour week cooking cleaning

Mine got mad at me too

Because it was something he would have to do something about and he didn't want to

He would rather watch every little move I made instead

He didn't care what she did

That's what made me mad

Miniwife ran wild and I was under scrutiny 24/7

One day I packed my shit and took me and the little ones to my mom's house until he got his mind right

SD wasn't really a bad kid. She got decent grades and whatnot. I knew all the other problems were husband's fault for not stepping up and being dad instead of her buddy.

Your husband is mad at the wrong person

He has his priorities all wrong

If he won't do the right thing you should hefty bag all of their shit, throw it on the lawn and have the locks changed

Another DH problem for sure

Sounds exactly like me! DH is more worried about what I do. He is on me when I do something wrong. I can't pack up and leave. I have no family here to run to. I don't even have a spare bedroom to stay in.
I need to correct about the house though. He is on the mortgage. I am just on the deed. So more his house than mine but I pay a lot towards living here.
I know dh is the problem. Always has been. A guilty father just trying to get by.

If mine doesn't treat me like a wife I don't treat him like a husband

I have accepted my designated role as live in nanny

Since that is how I'm treated and he gets mad if I act like anything resembling a real wife I am not sleeping in the marital bed anymore

I don't have an extra room either. I am so disgusted by it all that moving to the couch was easy

This is not to punish him-I know I'm not all that

I don't want to sleep in the same room with someone who disrespects me that much

If I could leave I would

Health problems and lack of a job keep me stuck here

There's a sizeable retirement at stake here too

But it would take too long to settle and I can't go to family again myself

I will never win when it comes to that kid. I stupidly stick my nose in over and over and this is the result. I upset dhs apple cart. All he wants after a stressful day of work is beer, dinner and tv. Spare him the drama. Leaving would entail a lot for me. I'd have to leave the state (only live here because dh) and that would be very difficult on my own kids who have built lives here. My son is not 18 yet and still in his last year of high school. Not to mention the expense. I have no family or friends here and would have to hire movers to move me out of state. Next year I might look at things and evaluate. I have a retirement I can liquidate I guess.

If he doesn't want to hear it - don't' say a word. Let the kid get caught by someone besides you. Like the police or school officials...
I had the same issues with SD18. She was smoking pot in front of my kids and I told DH and of course it was all my fault for finding it out.

lmao tommar - wouldnt that be hilarious }:) then she REALLY wouldnt give a shit!!!!

i agree that as an adult in the house she IS totally being disrespected by not having her wishes listened to. no loving husband should ever "poo poo" his wife's feelings. however, i'm kind of old-school in that the DH is the head and bears full responsibility for the entire household, and think OP maybe u're fighting an uphill battle on this one... if it's technically legal and your dh refuses to do anything, me personally i'd let it go. if kid ends up hooked on worse, then it's dh's fault, not yours. but that's just IMHO.

Even if it is legal in your state, pretty sure that doesn't include minors. You can call the police anonymously with a tip..or have a friend do it for you so you aren't lying when you say you didn't call them!
