Unforgiveable

It is fairly unforgiveable to ask your other half whether they were violent (ie hit) your son (2 years old) on an occassion when you were out of the room, you know the other half had lost their temper and was stressed and you know the child was crying (and probably making the stress worse as children do) - but you did not see the situation.
There is a history where the other half did not bond instantly with the (now) 2 year old but he now does love the 2 year hold - however he has less patience with him.
I mad this accusation of my husband this morning. He denied it and went balistic. The reason I accused him is because I woke from a very vivid dream where about this and when it did infact happen I was not in the room. In addition communication between husband and myself is very bad - he has never (ever not even once in the whole 12 years I have know him and never whilst we have been married) apologised for anything or admitted he is wrong about anything. (Pathetically i forced my 2 year old to say "sorry to daddy" for making daddy stressed - after which I felt angry with my husband, myself and desparate for my son)
Anyway back to the point - at the end of the day I am in the wrong for having asked my husband whether he was voilent where I have no proof (and most likely he was not) - is this right

To answer your original question, yes YABU if you accuse your OH of hurting your toddler based on a dream only and no other evidence. In fact that would be extremely odd. People dream lots of strange things but normal adults understand they are dreams and not reality.

However, like other posters have pointed out, it appears there are some serious issues in you're relationship and that the dream alone is not the only reason.

Please get some help for you and your children, any threat of violence must be dealt with immediately. Call Womens Aid, tell a RL friend or family member asap to help you through this.
