DH gets jealous when I spend time with DD

Basically as it says in the title - DH gets jealous when I spend time with our daughter. She is an adult, early twenties, but she does have mental health issues so I do tend to overspoil her and as she has been staying with us over Xmas I have been taking her out for coffees a lot, doing puzzles together etc. DH makes snide comments about me spoiling her and choosing her over him, the day before she arrived he complained that I was too excited to see her. They don't have a close relationship so she is a source of resentment for him I think, but hate being stuck in the middle and don't know what to do!!!

I got angry just reading this. There is something very wrong with your husband.

My mum was jealous of me and my sisters relationship with our dad. Now as adults none of us are close to either of them.

My dad was like this and it really affected my relationship with my mum. I’m not close to either of them anymore.

Get rid of the DH. He will ruin your relationship with your daughter sooner or later. You can already seem him gearing up for his "it's her or me" ultimatum".
