Never seen DH so angry - wet myself in fear

I know this is bad but it’s only just happened about half an hour ago and I don’t know how to deal with it.

I have 2 young children with DH and pregnant with third.

He took the girls out for the morning, came back and went to make himself some lunch. He asked for his olives as I was standing organizing the fridge and I told him that I threw them out a couple of days ago as they went bad (furry mould kind of bad).

He absolutely hates food waste, we both do and we are both pretty good about not wasting food in general but it happens from time to time and I wasn’t going to keep furry olives in the fridge.

Problem is… he went absolutely mental. He has never done this before, he said that if I dared throw away any of his food again he will break my arms. He took the joint card off of me and told me that I am not to buy any food shopping. He threw a sippy cup across the room, called me a selfish bitch but it was his aggressive tone and the look in his eyes that basically sent my body weak and numb and I fully lost control of my bladder and wet myself in the kitchen. It was awful.

He has stormed out of the house and I’m sat in shock, honestly not knowing what to do or say. Luckily the girls were in the garden and didn’t appear to hear or see anything but my goodness he was raging with anger - enough to make a grown woman wet herself.

Nope, it definitely doesn't. As I said in my first post, the OPs priority should be keeping herself and her children safe.

Literally all I said was that I would be concerned that this was some kind of mental health issue.

Well I wouldn’t. I am absolutely sick beyond measure of reading about women and children being attacked and killed by men.

Well, obviously there were things he was unhappy about. That's why he had a breakdown and killed himself.

I'm not sure what your point here is. There could be any number of problems in the OPs husband's life that we don't know about either.

My point here is that OP shouldn’t be concerned about his mental health at all she should be concerned about her safety.

The two things are not mutually exclusive. Of course she should be worried about her DH’s mental health when he is behaving totally out of character

Yep, I said that the OPs priority should be the safety of herself and her children in my first post on the first page of this thread 👍

If you don’t get away from this man, there is the possibility that your children could be taken away from you in the future. He’s dangerous and I’d guess he may ramp up this behaviour in the future.

Youre pregnant and he threatened you.

Also stop making excuses for him. Even if you threw everything in the house away, there is NO EXCUSE in the world for what he said and did.

Sincerely hoping op is OK, this was awful to read x

XMissPlacedX · 25/02/2026 14:33

Op if you can please let us know you’re ok, we are all quite worried about you. Even if it’s just a quick message to say so.
