To think this is revolting?

Just had this conversation with my husband. For context, things are dire between us, he's been on the sofa for 6 months because 'it helps him sleep better', and he's onto his 3rd drink of the night. He came into the kitchen with just a towel on and because I was sat down, his belly button was right in my eyeline. It's quite big and round, not quite an inny or an outy.

Me: "I'm fighting the urge to draw an eye on your belly button."

Him: "I'm fighting the urge to grab you, bend you over the table and stab you repeatedly in your brown eye."

AIBU to think he's being revolting?

The conversation written was exactly as it was said, no omissions at all.

I do think he intended to be threatening, and given that he would never say such a gross thing to or in front of anyone else, I think he knew exactly what he was doing.

I do wish you would all stop arguing though.

@Notamum12345577 no @JenWillsiam is not the only person who thinks the OPs relationship sounds toxic and combative on both sides. I cannot recall any posters saying they think the husbands comment was appropriate but that doesn’t mean he (at least in my opinion) is threatening to rape his wife. The problem is you and other posters seem to be trying to bully people that don’t agree with you because you believe your opinion is the only acceptable one and are making personal digs at posters who disagree with you.

Where have I made any personal digs or bullying comments?

@Notamum12345577 unreserved apologies. The comment was for @Nordicrain your user names both start with the same two letters so it seems I mistakenly added yours. Sorry again.

Not an issue at all, confused me that was all 😁
