My partner can be shouty and when we argue or disagree he will immediately start shouting. I tell him to please not shout in front of ds (1yr old) as I don't want that for him.
What really upsets me is when he will call me names in front of ds (like arsehole, prick, dick). I just feel so sad and guilty for ds and I know one day he will think its ok to call me those names. I know he doesn't understand now, but it's not far off at all.
After the third argument this year,I've warned him not to ever talk to me like that and that I will leave him if he continues for the sake of ds - he deserves better. No one in my family has ever called me names, especially during minor-ish arguments. Don't really know what I'm asking for here, just could do with some support as I feel so down.
