Awful situation this morning. 7 year old dc was being very rude to me when I asked her to tidy her things away and that she wasn’t allowed to watch YouTube. She started to say how she loves daddy more than me and he lets her and he was going to tell daddy that I told her off. I said that was fine because he would agree with me.
Dh arrived home, Dd ran outside and sat on the driveway crying, Dh came in and asked what was going on and basically sort of had a go at me/took her side?! I was so angry but didn’t want to make a scene in front of Dd, so went upstairs.
Dd then came up and gave me a hug and said sorry, I told her she had nothing to be sorry for.

I want out of this relationship and feel this was really strange and toxic behaviour and was not the right thing to do in front of Dd and was confusing to Dd and wrong

Aibu? feel like i’m going crazy here

You want out of the relationship because he didn't agree with you on one thing or is it an ongoing pattern?

Took her side and did what?

As much as you and your DH need to be pretty much on the same page when dealing with your DD I'd also be a bit concerned at how your DD went about running outside, sitting on the driveway and crying....it's manipulative and she's playing one off against the other.

Leave if you must do, and I can only reply on this post details, but in this instance it's not necessarily all down to your DH.
