I've been married for 5 years to DH but together on and off for 20.
My DH is a great father mostly, we have three DDs aged 2-9 and he loves them.
Recently I've started a new job and our family life has been a lot more chaotic, I know this can be tough on couples but my DH seems to have taken his frustration out on me to a new level.
I'm naturally a peacemaker and I hate confrontation but my DH has controlling tendencies and I have to stand up to him every so often which I dread.
This morning is the most recent incident in a long series. We were at my parents house for brunch which I was in preparing with my sister. It's a pretty laid back affair with kids coming in and out.
Anyway I was s bit slow with the toast so brought it in and handed it round, giving some to my DF and then my DH holds a hand to my face when I asked him if he wanted toast and said "Talking!" To indicate he was talking to my BiL and that I shouldn't interrupt. I was so annoyed with him that I dropped the plate of toast on the table and walked out.
He then left in a huff because he felt I'd overreacted. When I finally came home this evening, he apologised but felt my reaction had been way over the top. He later said when I asked him if he'd ever do that again, "Probably".
It all sound so childish now but I'm still incredibly hurt at this latest incident. I don't know what to do. What next?
