that you shouldn’t tell your spouse to “fucking shut your mouth, shut the fuck up”

Me and DH have had issues for a while, mostly his lack of financial contribution and laziness. He threw a tantrum the other night and theatrically went to “sleep” in the spare room after I told him not to snap at me. he came back when I was “asleep” and slept normally. Woke up like nothing had happened.

When I approached him later that day to talk about it (calmly) he got annoyed saying “you don’t want to escalate this”, “this isn’t shouting, you don’t want to see me shouting”. I stupidly said, “well if I get some answers then we will have to escalate it”

He then screamed “fucking shut your mouth, shut the fuck up”. I was sitting down and he was standing in front of me. Then he pulled a load of laundry off the bed and threw it over the room.

aibu to think this isn’t a “normal” way to argue?

No of course this isn't okay. If hes not contributing financially or at home, what exactly is it hes doing? Honestly id not allowed anyone to talk to me that way. Whose house is it?

Nothing about this is normal.

Honestly sounds like you both need to communicate better.
