Today, the guy I live with demanded that I get a job or start paying rent. It'd be perfectly reasonable, if he wasn't my husband, and if I hadn't just given birth to our first child. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after presenting my husband with a more than fair request to pay me an hourly wage for being a stay-at-home mom, he laughed his ass off and told me if I want money so badly, I could get a job. He'd rather strangers in daycare raise our babies than pay me what I'm worth. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend to help me with groceries, since the last of my money went to last week's groceries. His response was to start a fight, then tell me it's my fault my daughter acts the way she does, which is when he finally got me to break down and cry. I'm pregnant with his kid, and I also pay 90% of our bills. FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight over household expenses. He's never had a job in his life, but this didn't stop him demanding that I get another full-time job to pay for video games and beer. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years completely lost it because last night I told him I wanted to move to a less remote area so I can be independent. He shouted that I bring no money in, he has to do everything, and that I that I snore so loud he can hear me from downstairs where he sleeps. I'm pregnant. We are in our 40s. FML
Today, my husband needs the money from my job, but will in no way support me to work. He NEVER cooks, cleans, or picks up after himself. I've got no place to work, except a nook by the bathroom, and I have to manage my toddler, who always poops only when I'm in a meeting, and cries for me. Quitting my job is "out the question." FML
Today, I woke up to my apartment in a state of total disarray. I've been asking my boyfriend to get either get a job, or clean the house. I just had a bunch of dental work taken care of. He doesn't have a job, and doesn't want to find one. I'm tired of trying to raise an already grown man. FML
Today, I finally told my roommate, who doesn't pay rent, to go get a job. He left, came back, and immediately went to my refrigerator to eat. I asked him about his job and what his pay is. Apparently, putting together a bike for a kid is a job. FML
Today, my psycho landlord threatened to take me to court if I don't pay my rent on time this month. I'd totally understand if he weren't my father-in-law, and if the reason I didn't pay on time before was because of hospital fees I'd incurred for an emergency appendectomy. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend he has to stop paying half of his baby mama's rent or I would leave. He laughed and said I could leave. FML
Today, I asked my husband to be a little more responsible, pick up after himself, and spend a little less. I earn more than he does, so it's usually my money that he splurges. He has gone on a non-stop tantrum for the past 5 hours, giving me the cold shoulder, and shouting at me. What have I gotten myself into? FML

I bet he won't be saying that if he went through labor.

Tell him that you have a job. Caring for a newborn. Also let him know that since it's his child he needs to pay back rent for the nine months your baby spent living inside you.

What a prick. Unless "just given birth" is her twisting words and it was like a year ago.

I hope you didn't just put up with this after all you've gone through to carry and give birth to his child. How inconsiderate! Tell him to calm down and discuss together when you will work and if you will anytime soon (in your own time) because he clearly doesn't have a clue in more ways than one.

I agree. Let's here his side.

Following that logic, you'd have to post this on just about every single FML here. You CAN'T hear his side. You have to take OP's word for it. Yes, that's a biased and relatively unreliable source but if you can't be flexible about it, there's really no point in being on this website.

Sounds like he didn't get the memo on what marriage is.

Somehow trying to imply that giving birth earns your keep? If you -just- gave birth, and he is bringing this up, it has been bugging him for awhile. And if you've gotten married, you should accept everything, including bills, are 50/50. Why should you be the one who gets to stay home with the child while he works? Considered maybe he wants to, as well? This sounds incredibly selfish of you.

So, if her husband, say, broke his leg and couldn't work, he's automatically useless in the relationship and is not holding up his end of the bargain? Damn, she just gave birth. I'm assuming it does awful things to your body, having to carry a child for nine months. It's not an "I was pregnant, so I deserve to be lazy" issue here; the fact is, her body has to recuperate from the sudden hormonal and physical changes, much in the way that the husband would have to take time to rest to let his arm heal properly. Things happen; people get sick and hurt, and I can only assume that this child was wanted. Cut the lady a break here.

I would kill him.
