This morning had a big row with DH mainly about the state of the house. I saw red as all weekend i have tidied the house, done all the washing and put it away and their was loads. This morning as he was getting ready his clothes were all round the house again, all breakfast things left out of the fridge and the house looked a complete mess again. I was getting children ready and breastfeeding baby. I'm just fed up of the house being a constant mess and in doing all the night waking with the baby so in tired.

What set me off was my husband started saying for fucks sake stop moaning! In front of our 5 year old so i told him not to swear infront of the children aged 5,2 and 3 months. He didn't stop. I said i will stop doing all the tidying and washing as there is no point and he said it was my job i chose this life!!
So angry at him feel he has a complete lack of respect towards me. He said i was lazy! As if i have time to be. I also got called a fucking useless bitch and that i couldn't cope. This was said in front of the boys.

Yesterday his friend was due to come round at 4 and was over an hour late so i said to my DH why not ask him another time and he said if i ruined it i can forget the christening which we are planning for our youngest. I just didn't feel it was great timing coming at tea time. I went upstairs to fees the baby(and calm down) before he got here and my husband came up and said are you not coming down and saying hello. Dont have a problem being polite to his friend as his friend is actually nice, it is more my husbands attitude.

Sorry rambling now but feel wound up and pretty upset.

Good morning I hope you managed to sleep a little.
You have to be brave now and keep the momentum going....he's been gone a night,you need to make it two nights then a week ect.

I have been through this with a horrible abusive ex husband.He said I was lazy,a crap mother and crap wife a slag that I dressed like a whore that I was dirty and couldn't keep the house clean I could go on.

He isolated me from my friends and family he hid my phone so I couldn't contact anyone.

He also used to hang little threats over my head like you've mentioned,you
Can forget going to the park on Saturday or you can forget coming to my mums for Sunday lunch....things he knew I was holding out for, little things that I was looking forward to and I knew DD would enjoy. Thinking about him now I'm so angry how dare a husband tell a wife you can forget this that and if you carry on we won't be going there.

I was so intent on pleasing him that I was so miserable and scared to go home...I used to sit on the canal for hours some weekends and take a packed lunch and we'd feed the ducks with DD in her pram so I didn't have to take the abuse.

Please do not let this man back. It will be the biggest mistake you make...how would you feel if one of your sons were treating a wife / girlfriend this way? It's horrible and life is too short to put up with this shit.

I left with DD one night while my ex was at work...it was the most terrifying thing I've ever done but once I'd gone he knew his power over me was gone and he was sorry and crying ect.....too late.

I kind of enjoyed watching him suffer and in turmoil over the months that followed I had had a dogs life with him.

You can do this and it will be worth it...I with a lovely man now and have another DD and we are very happy.

Please don't let your gorgeous kids listen to this vile man abusing you ever again.

Quite possibly he is waiting for you to see the error of your ways and beg him to come back. No matter how low you are feeling, please don't do this. Post on here or talk to a friend but try not to engage with him. If he senses you are waivering he will use this to manipulate and bully you more.

DON'T BELIEVE HIS APOLOGIES IF YOU GET ONE

Sorry to shout, but has he apologised in the past and then a few days or weeks later gone back to exactly the same time of behaviour? I would bet money he has. He is not especially super doooper extra sorrry this time and he will do it again no matter what he says.

It's great to see all the virtual hugs and support for 2boysandcounting1

There are a network of people out there who can help too, definitely have a chat with someone neutral from your husband who knows you well, maybe tell them the advice youve had here and help you figure out what to do from here x

Hi OP- the way he speaks to you sounds disgusting and then threatening you to fall in to line and act the way he wants it he will put a stop to things you are looking forward to.

He is treating you like a child that needs to have boundaries put in place because you are acting up. Your acting up is the fact you are asking him to pull his weight. Then upping the abuse by throwing over the clothes airer because oh are lookin for reasonable behaviour by way of an apology!

Please don't live your life like this- sad and confused while second guessing yourself. Wishing you strength and clarity of mind for the future
