I've name changed for this. DH is usually the best ever and does so much for me it's unbelievable. I won't go on to list all of the 1000s of ways that he is so amazing because I'm really angry right now.
Ocassionally, he gets in these strops when something isn't quite going his way. He was fixing the door today and didn't do it properly. I couldn't get out because it was sticking. He kept saying "just open the DOOR!" as if it were the easiest thing in the world. I'm pregnant and don't have the strength that I usually do. We were both about to go out together and I came downstairs first and couldn't open the door.
He said, "what are you a fing retard?" first of all, I never tolerate that word (retard) ever. Then he told me I was just "too stupid to open a fing door".
I got really upset in the car and couldn't stop crying and he didn't even seem sorry. When I said, "you need to leave, I can't raise a child in a home where his/her dad treats his/her mum in that way" Then he got defensive and said, "oh yes, Im always so mean to you" (sarcastically). I said, "not always, but this is unacceptable. I can't have it."
I think he really is sorry, but he doesn't appear to be and has not apologized. I'm past hysterical crying now and now I'm just angry. He's now angry with me for being angry. I tried to talk to him about it but he just told me that I was "being ridiculous" and won't talk to me about it. What do I do? I know this seems so silly compared with the really big problems people usually have and he's usually so great, so I just don't know what to do but it's eating away at me!! I don't think I deserve to be called names like that, or any names at all!
