Hi everyone

It's 4am I am tired and livid

Our poor baby who has the cold atm woke up during the night screaming , dp was trying to soothe baby whilst I went downstairs to get baby his medicine & some water etc for him, when I had came upstairs dp was frustrated as baby wouldn't settle & dp raised his voice at me about how I was taking my time downstairs I replied "I don't know who you're speaking to like that lower your voice towards me" his reply was "I'm fed up of the way you speak to me I'm done with you I'm leaving in the morning" which I replied "why are you waiting till the morning? You have a car outside, go now"

He is now sobbing asking why I didn't beg for him and treating me as if I caused this whole situation.

I am sorry but if you don't want to be with me I will walk you to the door . I don't beg , absolutely not.

Am In the wrong here? He's seriously making me feel as if I am.

Honestly OP, is this man child really what you want?

I would have probably snapped back just like you did. Some things should never be said, no matter how stressed you are and threatening to leave is absolutely 100% beyond what is acceptable. It's not a game, you have child, he needs to grow up.

You have a baby, that’s hard enough in itself
let alone a grown man who’s behaving like a child too. This would give me the serious ick, he’s turning it round on you and sounds like he’s done it before. Who has time for that? Sounds like life would be easier just you and your baby.

How weird that almost 5 months later someone replies on this thread, and both replies get deleted.

I suspect the Op will be surprised to receive a notification re a thread she didn't return to and has probably forgotten she wrote in the first place.

You absolutely responded the right way (which is impressive at 4am with a screaming baby) but to be fair that same 4am with a screaming baby means I wouldn’t take what he said too seriously. You both will be emotional and tired from a small child so if he is a good guy otherwise (positive that he was trying to settle the baby) then give him some slack.

This relationship sounds hellish. Send him back to his mother.
