Out for the day at a local tourist attraction with some family members, slight disagreement over parking space. While I might have told him to fuck off, I think throwing car keys at me and stomping off and getting a train home is possibly a slight over reaction??? I often wonder how many times more I can put up with this type of behaviour......

Although I don't agree with fuck off

Reading between the lines it sounds like from your later post he was already being nasty to you by telling you to shut up and calling you names that there is much more going on than this small snapshot.

I think you would get much better advice by starting a new thread and explain the situation in more detail.

This thread sound like you tried to tell him what to do then told him to fuck off which I don't think is a true reflection of what's going on am I right?

So, you nagged about how he was parking, then he swore at you, you swore at him, and he just walked away rather than continue the argument and spoil the day out for everyone?

Just OP - his behaviour doesn't sound OK, but also your behaviour also sounds pretty shitty, and we only have your side of it.

Do you two snip at each other and argue a lot?

There isn't enough information here.

You provide no context.

I tell my OH to fuck off all the time -

"Can I have a chip?"
"Fuck off bawbag"

"Iron my shirt"
"Fuck off numpty heid"

But we're Scottish and it's a term of endearment.

I have apologised but he continued to stomp off. While this might seem like I am an obnoxious cow, the rant by him was quite spectacular and not the first time. I have a life of living on egg shells never knowing when a casual remark will result in an explosion

Ok, so you shouldn't have sworn at him but he also shouldn't have called you a bunch of names either. What's the situation at home? Is the relationship stormy or generally good?

If my DP told me to fuck off I would, permanently. That's a horrendous way to speak to your partner.

It sounds bloody hard work all round OP, will things be very difficult when you get home?

Are you still at the attraction?

I can't really tell what has gone on here, as we only have the final snippets. But I think his reaction from what you say sounds very OTT.
I think even if you were both in the wrong having an angry exchange, it could have been resolved there before getting out of the car if there were no kids present...or he could have stormed off to cool down somewhere and then you could have sorted it later. But to get the train home and ruin the whole day is ridiculous.

Is this sort of thing new in your relationship, or has it always been so turbulent? It doesn't sound like things are very happy, to say the least.

If you feel like you're walking on eggshells, and wait for him to explode at anything, why are you with him?

OP you seem to be changing what happened the more other posters say you were in the wrong . You need to invest more into your relationship and less time trying to validate your views with people you don't know

How do you predict things will be when you get home?

Did he not really want to go to the attraction at all in the first place? What did you tell the family?

Sounds like he deserved being told to fuck off if he was calling you names. Has he got previous for behaviour like this? Why do you have to walk on eggshells?

Your biggest problem appears to be that you will take absolutely no responsibility for your own actions. His behaviour in telling you to shut up was wrong, but would it have happened at all if you hadn't made a snide (not casual) remark about his inferior parking? He's not the only wrong one, but you're obviously not going to accept it.

None of us know what your relationship is like.

If he is a wanker and you aren't happy leave. People on the Internet who didn't see it can't give you better advice

I'm Shock at everyone on here. I tell my DH to fuck of all the time. Do people really leave over this sort of thing?

Ok, maybe different people do things differently. My DP and I swear often in conversation (not in front of the kids obviously) but for me personally, there's a very big difference between swearing in conversation and swearing at someone.

Let him stew in his own juice. Go and enjoy your day out.
If name calling and telling each other to fuck off is normal behaviour in your relationship without this type of rection then he is being a dick. IMO
If it's not normal behaviour then you've got problems.
Me and my OH swear at each other all the time. Funnily we swear more in fun than we do in arguments.

Aye I can see that but in my head it wouldn't even register as something to continue to be annoyed about even if said aggressively. I would look at the situation, decide whether DH was just in a foul mood and I pushed him/he would have been otherwise justified in speaking to me like that then, as long as he isn't actually an abusive arsehole apologise and expect the same back from him. If he didn't apologise I would kick him in the front bottom though.

You told him to fuck off so off he fucked.
