Apparently I’m a c*#t

My partner plays sport and won a big game today. I went to the game, cheered them on and celebrated with them immediately after the game. We then returned home and my partner got ready to go out to the pub with team mates. The original plan was that I would go out later to meet them to celebrate. I wanted to leave her have some time celebrating with her teammates and not have to worry about me as it is her local pub and I’m new to the area. When getting ready to leave she decided she wanted me to go immediately with her incase not everyone was there. I declined, reassured her that plenty of her teammates, coaches etc would be already there and said I would pop down later. She saw red and called me a c*#t twice and said she hated me. This isn’t the first time and there’s never an apology for any outbursts, only if I didn’t do x, y or z it wouldn’t have happened or she might say a few days later, if you weren’t so moody! I getting to a point where I’m at my wits end.

So instead of explaining to you she felt a bit insecure about going to the pub by herself... she lashes out and calls you a cunt?

This is not a stable, kind person to be in a relationship with. Leave, because until she fixes this, she is going to be an abusive partner, you can't fix it for her and currently it doesn't look like she thinks there is anything TO fix!

"She saw red and called me a c#t twice and said she hated me. This isn’t the first time and there’s never an apology for any outbursts"

Bin her. Seriously, just get rid. This is who she is and it's not going to change.

"it is her local pub and I’m new to the area."
Have you moved in with her, or do you have your own place?

@SleepToad yes she is insecure and no one would think it as she comes across as bubbly and outgoing but she also has a temper and basically has said she’s always had it and that’s the way it is. It’s impossible to have a rational conversation as regardless of what’s been said, I’m wrong. Thanks for your reply as I know in my head it’s not acceptable but it’s really having confirmation that I’m not going mad and this behaviour is not cool.

It's so useful when these people proudly fly their red flags, nice obvious sign for you to leave.

Presumably there are no children in the mix. Would you want to stay in your new area or go back to where you were before or somewhere new?

In nearly 40 years I have never been called that and if I was I would leave pronto, you aren't in the playground anymore, it's not ok for adults to call each other names.

She needs to go.

Leave as soon as you can and it is safe to do so. If you are a woman contact woman's aid for assistance

If I'm correct in assuming no marriage, no kids, then I think I'd be gone by the time she got home.

She's abusive.

Reserved101 · 19/10/2024 21:30

Get rid.

StSwithinsDay · 19/10/2024 21:29

She's abusing you. I'd leave her.

Donkeyfromshrek · 19/10/2024 21:29

There is no excuse for that. Hope you are OK?

LeavesOnTrees · 19/10/2024 21:28

She saw red when you didn't do what she wanted.
Run, as far away as possible.

This won't get better.

No-one who loves me has ever called me a cunt.

SleepToad · 19/10/2024 21:20

Sorry I why do you put up with this. Clearly she is insecure about being first in the pub...but we all face this type of situation without calling out partner named..recently I waited 30minutes for the rest of my 6th form group from 30years ago to come in to a pub which was busy with people eating...I'm an adult I waited
