Hi just need to know whether i'm overeacting or not. I don't like swearing in general and very rarely swear myself, i never heard my parents use bad language when i was growing up so i don't expect my kids to hear it in their own home either. My dp does'nt really swear too much but he does have a very quick temper and if we're arguing he does come out with a few choice words which i really hate. I work 2 evenings a week and a sunday afternoon, my dp looks after the kids aged 2 and 5 while i'm at work, he struggles to cope sometimes when they are playing up and last night my 5 yo dd was giving him a lot of hassle and he told her to f* off! This is actually the secod time he's said this to her, i'm shocked, i think its disgusting. He said that he did'nt mean her to hear it but that is no excuse. I've told him that if he does it again then i will leave, i know this might seem extreme but as i've said he does have a very quick temper and there have been a lot of things happen over the years and i'm at the end of my tether. I've given him these ultimatums before but never gone through with it.
The main problem about me leaving him is that the house we live in is his so i would be homeless. I have been trying for so long to keep us together but i can't tolerate him speaking to our dd like that.
