Husband’s attitude - off or normal?

[Verity35]

We haven’t been getting along. Not sure if I previously posted under this username or anon account. Things are difficult and we have young kids to add to the mix.

I really have been trying with him for the sake of peace in the house. Last week his niece got her A’level results and I asked him and he was vague as he didn’t know anything. Today I told him my niece got her gcse results and he was “okay” I then added she got such and such again it’s was “okay”. I would usually get annoyed at this point but I stayed calm and asked him any more updates on his niece university and he told me the name and I was making conversation and asked why she chose that particular one. He went off into his usual sarcastic and patronising tone telling me I’m stupid don’t I know it’s one of the Russel group universities and it’s like 5th top one in UK! Things got heated which ended in him slamming the doors and going off in a strop to leave me yet again to deal with the kids on my own.

Any insight please? Im so sick of this.

How awful for you and the children. See a solicitor, and get him out, emotional abuse.
He sounds like a nasty piece of work.
What minicooperlover said too.

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

What an utterly horrible situation for you and the DC.

You must leave him asap for your own mental health and your children's well being. Life within those walls is so bloody toxic for you.

I too have a non communicative DH, who often struggles to make 'chit chat' conversation. But he is kind and thoughtful, and does a million little things to show he loves me and the DC. He is also able to laugh at himself when teased about his lack of chat. ( the kids joke that he actually works for MI5 , lol). He would NEVER behave like your DH does.

TBH, if I were you, I wouldn't be waiting until I was working to leave, I'd be bloody well running for the door with one DC under each arm yelling , ''FUCK YOU, you fucking loser !!''
