Earlier today I spoke to DH about something. Conversation got mildly heated and he accused me of 'marching in and shouting' at him. I definitely didn't do either of those things. I'm very careful not to be confrontational because he gets an almighty mood on. He does this very often, accuses me of behaving with aggression if I disagree with, challenge or question him. Is that gaslighting?
I've been meaning to post this since this morning but something else has just happened (for the second time in the last few months) and I need a sense check. DH has a sore hand. It's swollen and sometimes looks like a golf ball under his knuckle and his fingers can't fully move. It's been weeks but he won't get it checked out (which is not unusual and probably nothing to do with CV). DD2 just pulled it back accidentally and DH let out an incredible and loud of howl of pain at DD. She burst into tears and came to find me next door. She was terrified. Similar thing happened earlier this year. Would you think that's acceptable - for a grown man to yell (in pain) in a 2 year olds face?
