My partner of 5yrs this morning has thrown a pot of yoghurt at me which exploded all over me and the floor then opened a bag of salad and tipped it over my head all infront of my 4yr old because i said i didn't like natural yoghurt. What would you all make of that and what would you do? Based on this info alone without a back story

This is absolutely abuse!! It’s so degrading and upsetting to even here, let alone go through it 😞

Hiimblahblah · 31/07/2022 12:44

*to even hear

OurChristmasMiracle · 31/07/2022 12:45

yes it is abusive. And I would suggest you leave. You and your 4 year old deserve better.

SometimesMaybe · 31/07/2022 12:45

I would leave.

GrazingSheep · 31/07/2022 12:45

I would report him to the police.
And get my 4 year old away from him asap.

HollowTalk · 31/07/2022 12:49

Get yourself and your child out of the house safely, then report it to the police. Do you have someone you can stay with?

VerifiedBot2351 · 31/07/2022 12:50

Yes that’s abuse.

BeanieTeen · 31/07/2022 12:50

I’d be out of that door with my child in a flash. Do you have someone you can go to?

FrancescaContini · 31/07/2022 12:52

I’d kick him out immediately. How DARE he do this to you? And how DARE he make your DD witness it?

MajorCarolDanvers · 31/07/2022 12:52

You have to get away with your child.

You cannot let your 4 year old grow up thinking that kind of behaviour is ok. Any kind of domestic abuse affects children so go now and get out of there.

Ohexcellent · 31/07/2022 12:59

I’d get him out of the house and id have a locksmith on the way to change the locks! If he wouldn’t leave for whatever reason then I’d be taking my child and leaving.

What an absolute arse. You don’t deserve that. And your child doesn’t deserve to grow up seeing that and thinking it’s acceptable.

CustardySergeant · 31/07/2022 13:01

Yes, it's abusive. What did he or she do next? What did you do?

BigChesterDraws · 31/07/2022 13:02

You need to ask? Is this the environment you want your child to grow up in?

He’s not your “partner”. Partners see each other as equals in the relationship. He clearly doesn’t.

SmellyToilet · 31/07/2022 13:03

i think they sound nuts - they would have regretted doing it to me as I would absolutely retaliate

Happylittlethoughts · 31/07/2022 13:04

Abusive . Leave.

Rowen32 · 31/07/2022 13:09

That is absolutely shocking, so scary to read, how traumatising for your son, oh my gosh, when I read it first I thought a child did it and was thinking how to help based on the context that a child should not see another child doing that and see its okay, reread and seen its your partner, they don't even deserve to be called that, that is absolutely awful.

daretodenim · 31/07/2022 13:11

Abuse.

Bad enough to not spend another second in the same room as them. If not DS's bio parent then DS would never see them again..but guessing this is a parent.

Horrific.

PeekabooAtTheZoo · 31/07/2022 13:11

My mum used to do shit like this. Flee and take child.

MamaH2023 · 31/07/2022 13:13

This is abusive my love. I'm so sorry you to had to go through and your little one must have been terrified.

Is this out of character for him???

I suggest going to a relatives for a few nights whilst you get some head space and really evaluate your relationship.

This sounds like just the beginning of a really scary slippery slope!

I hope you're ok! Xx

CloudSunLeavesCoud · 31/07/2022 13:13

Get out of there quick. I expect this will escalate if you don’t and it’s already awful

Antigonesaunt · 31/07/2022 13:13

My ex used to tip food and drinks on me, was one of the worst things he did. Really horrible. Definitely abuse

Thepeopleversuswork · 31/07/2022 13:17

Get the hell out of dodge and get your child away from him as fast as possible. Do you have anywhere to go?

Poppyblush · 31/07/2022 13:18

it would mark the end of the relationship for sure.

PonyPatter44 · 31/07/2022 13:18

I would think this is just the tip of the iceberg. One of you needs to leave, preferably him, but if he won't then you and DD need to.

lollipoprainbow · 31/07/2022 13:20

@PonyPatter44 tip of the iceberg literally.
