I need perspective on this. I know it's not good but is it understandable in the grand scheme of things and the stresses of life. Or is it massively twatty? So in the car with dh and children in the back. Driving home from visiting friends. Baby crying a bit, I said 'maybe she's still hungry'. He made a rude reply like 'oh god, there's nothing we can do now. Why say that?!' So I said 'would you speak to me like that in public?' At which he lost it shouting and swearing. F word more than once, Jesus Christ etc. Apparently he was at a fucking junction, why did I have a go over baby screaming too etc etc. I stayed calm, please don't shout and swear at me etc. He basically wouldn't let me speak but then finished with something like 'there, you've won'. Didn't last that long (maybe only a minute) but out of order and the kids were in the car. Then 20mins later he did apologise. 'I lost my temper and shouldn't have done that but it was A difficult situation and I couldn't control myself' or similar. I said 'thank you for apologising, it is always wrong to swear and shout'. Which I know is matryrish but I was just not ready to wholeheartedly accept the apology and the kids where there so didn't want to start a row either and wanted to emphasise that his behaviour was unacceptable. He said something like 'thanks for throwing it back at me' sarcastically. Then all normal whole way home. Even starting to discuss valentines presents?! Me 'I don't think this is the time', him' well I've got to get it tomorrow'. How should I deal with this situation. Am I a wimp for thinking it's really crap but not having it out with him tonight because I can't be bothered to have a row that won't change anything and I just want a bath?
