Today I learned what weaponised incompetence is and realised what I was going rheough with my ex

He would tell me to write him lists of things he needed to do.

His favourite sentence was "but youre just soooo much better at it than i am.... you do it"

He was always getting things "wrong" in a hope I just wouldn't ask him to do it any more

So, one day, I stopped playing into it and let him be "incompetent"

He would ask me where things were. I'd always say I didn't know. He told me to go to the Dr because I must have a memory problem or something. He would always immediately find it after declaring I needed psychological help

He "forgot" to take the wet washing out of the machine so it just sat in there festering. He asked where his shirt for work was, I said I don't know, he flipped his shit when he realised it was still in the machine. I simply said, that I didn't put the machine on so I didn't know it was in there.

When ever he cooked he made sure it tasted awful. I sat there and ate it like a champ and said how good it tasted and he should make it for when his parents came to visit.

He left his shoes and bag in the hall, right in the way, when his parents came over his dad tripped over his bag and broke his nose on the radiator. When they asked why the bag was there I just looked at him and said "thats your bag isnt it?"

He agreed to pick up his niece from school (by that he meant I would pick her up). He didn't show up and I was at work. He called me screaming because his niece hadn't been picked up. When I asked him why he agreed to pick her up if he never intended to he had no answer.

He purposely put cups and dishes the wrong way in the dishwasher meaning they filled with water. I'd just take them out and put them away and told him "I'm sure it's fine"

The final straw was when he ordered take out. He usually ordered something I didn't like because he knew I would just give it to him. The first time he did it, I ate it anyway. He was pissed. The second time, he ordered something he knows I'm allergic to. As soon as I opened the box I could feel myself swelling. But I sat down with him and went to take a bite. He screamed and hit the fork away "whats are you doing?!" Me "eating dinner? Why, its not poisoned is it?"

It was at that point he confessed he bought me something I was allergic to because he was fed up of me not caving to his pretend incompetence.

We broke up that night and he was even more pissed off.
