Swearing in front of kids

Context - OH and I haven’t been getting on. A big thing we don’t agree on is screen time for kids (under 10). I think it’s too much (every evening and most of the weekend), OH doesn’t mind as he’s a screen junkie too. Due to getting the silent treatment I’ve put up with it but a while back I said I was fed up being stuck doing nothing on my own and wanted to a family thing. Well, he had a proper go at me in front of the kids, then proper swore at me in front of the kids. He screamed “f off” in my face multiple times as part of his rant. I walked away and left the house. He doesn’t think he did anything wrong, instead tries to justify why he was mad but doesn’t seem to think anything wrong with proper swearing at me in front of the kids. Kids looked shocked. For me, he’s crossed a line and I can’t move on from it. It was the final straw after a lot of issues. I’m scared to say anything else in front of the kids in case they witness another rant like that. So, AIBU - is a full blown swearing rant directed at me in front of kids not really that bad and I need to find a way to forget it? I wouldn’t let ANYONE else ever talk to me like that.

Thanks all. Deep down I knew I wasn’t being unreasonable and you’ve all given me the advice that I’d give a friend. Just hard sometimes to take your own advice. Now to think what’s next…

Maybe if he continues being rude and swearing in front of the kids divorce bc he has been so rude

Saying anything aggressively in your face is unacceptable.
