AIBU to leave tonight after husband's texting and driving tantrum?

[Justinbimber]

My husband is slamming around the house and doing his aggressive “tidy up” routine because I said he shouldn’t text and drive.

We were in the car with his son (6). I said “if you keep texting and driving you’ll end up with 3 points, or worse”

He replied he always did it and why mention it now? Then he said it’s alright for me because I don’t drive so I can relax and go on my phone whenever I want.

He then threw his phone at the dashboard, and drove 50+ in a 30 zone for about 10 minutes. I was gripping my seat

He already drives under the influence of cannabis (everyday). I will not get in the car with him on these days.

Aibu to pack my bags and leave tonight? I’m sick of it all, whenever I bring up a slight criticism (?) it ends with these escalated moods and tension. His son is clinging to me since we got home which is unusually for him

I'd certainly leave & report him.
However, the Police are not guaranteed to keep your identity private.
Even if they did, Dh would probably guess it was you.
Make sure you are safe before you report him.

I clearly stated I do not get in the car with him when he’s under the influence

Jeez you're allowing a druggie to drive? Bad enough you're with a druggie but allowing him to drive is unforgiveable. Report him to the police next time and dump the loser.

Im glad to hear that,but it may not be possible to be certain you haven't inadvertently been driven by him with THC in his system.
Also ,his son may have been driven by him under the influence and other road users are at risk as is he himself.
You have been in the car with him when he has driving above the speed limit in a fit of rage (because you had advised him not to text whilst driving) also when texting....all are illegal and reckless and put you ,his son,other road users and himself at risk.
Why do you think has such reckless disregard?

Great for you! What about other road users and pedestrians? If it really bothered you so much wouldn’t you inform the police? It can be done anonymously too.

And you also said He already drives under the influence of cannabis (everyday)

So you do get in the car with him?

In any event life is too short to waste it on a druggy. Get yourself out of there.

Report the cnut.

Why leave? It’s your house. Why let him stay in it whilst you pay for somewhere else?

id also want to stay to comfort the son.

divorce him- File tomorrow. No need to leave the property

Ah, you’re one of those posters who ignores most of the replies and quibbles with one minor point.

Driving dangerously because he's trying to intimidate you is abusive. He put you and his kid at risk. He's already driving under the influence and texting while driving. He's going to maim or kill someone.

I'd be dropping a dime on him the next time he gets in the car under the influence. He is a danger to others and shouldn't be on the road.

Dump immediately. He's abusive and dangerous.

You leave, and cite these reasons for it when you petition for divorce.

Divorce is no fault now

Yes. He's out of control. My friend and her 2 kids nearly died a few weeks ago because another driver was on their phone. Protect yourself and the child.

Yes leave. And also report to the police before he ends up killing or seriously injuring someone with his wreckless stupidity.

He sounds repugnant

Leave, report to police and the child's mother. I wouldn't want it on my conscience when he inevitably crashes and risks his child's and other innocent people's lives

Leave. Report him and tell his child’s mother

I despair. I despair that he thinks this is ok and TBH I despair that you need to ask is you should leave. He’s the perpetrator for sure but for goodness sake woman, get away from his disaster of a man.

Oh that’s ok then. He might kill someone

how can you respect this man.

Does the child's mum know her son is being driven around by someone who is on drugs, speeding and texting?
I'd inform her and the police as you leave.

‘Shall I lose my abusive druggy DH who drives like a wanker?’ Hmm, let me think…..

That’s shocking behaviour, he could kill an innocent person.

Please report him. He could kill someone!

Report him to the police then leave

Yes, you should leave him.
And report him.
