H has a lot of redeeming qualities but he just will not stop criticising me and it's really getting me down.
Every single day he walks through the door and has to comment on something. The state of the house (we have a newborn and frankly it's still in great condition), where I've placed my handbag that day, (yes really), whether I've left a door open, the food I've made...there's always something. It's massively getting me down.
He makes even simple tasks really difficult to handle.
Today we gave the baby a bath. We had that awkward moment where we were transferring her to her towel. Which I had laid out on the bed ready for her. She cried as the cold air hit her - she loves her baths and didn't want to be taken out. This gives him
A chance to say - "well mummy screwed that up". Then after I noticed some milk hadn't been wiped off the folds of her neck even though I had used cotton wool there. Immediately - "well mummy was so keen to make it a nice experience for you she didn't do a thorough job".
There's daily incidents like that and frankly I can't deal with another 50 years of the same old comments. It massively winds me up.
How can I stop his behaviour?
