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

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

So surely on this basis you must do if it’s everyday?

He sounds like an immature selfish arse and of course you should leave him. I’d also tell the mother of his child and if she doesn’t report him, I would. Better still, both report him before he kills someone.

Lady, get the hell out!

What a dickhead, u deserve far better

But you said he does this every day? And you were in the car with him today.

Leave him for sure, and tell his son’s mum, and report him to the police.

Texting and driving causes accidents… feel for you being with such a selfish man. Probably time to make plans to leave him as he could easily become a murderer soon

So you're protecting yourself bit how about every other unsuspecting person that has the misfortune to come across him?!!

Leave before he kills you or the poor child or some other innocent person because it’s rarely them that end up dying when driving under the influence, it’s always some poor innocent person going about their day to day lives. Oh and I’d tell his son’s mum and also report him to the police for driving whilst on drugs and speeding. Absolute selfish wanker.

Don’t walk ….RUN!!!

Please do not leave his son alone with this junkie drugged-up driver of a father

Oh yes, it would definitely be massively unreasonable to leave the dangerous, irresponsible, druggie driver, who throws tantrums and deliberately endangers lives. How could you even think of leaving such a prince among men?

Your post is really offensive. Op is not responsible, legally or morally, for anyone's behaviour except her own.

My 6ft 4in boyfriend did this once - and there is no way I could have stopped him physically, or with words.

I had a friend who was killed by someone driving under the influence. She had a high powered career, just engaged and actively planning her wedding. We'd been so happy for her when she met her fiancé. All ended when someone like your husband decided to get in the car. Leave him and report him OP. This isn't a 'small criticism' he is literally endangering lives.

This!! His poor son! You have a choice to walk away, he doesn't. Please report him.

So you don’t normally mind his drug driving ? You only mention it now because he’s angry. You reap what you sow so my sympathy remains with the innocent 6 year old child caught up in this shitstorm.

Leave! This will not get better.

I wouldn't be someone that took cannabis at all, let alone every day. I also wouldn't be with anyone who texts and drives. He's an irresponsible pos isn't he. What do you see in that turd? Why haven't you tipped off the police about him DUI? He could kill someone! Same as texting and driving, one second and he collides and wipes out someone. Don't have that on your conscience. Contact the police and leave the violent and irresponsible druggie.

Please, please watch this and have your 'D' H watch this too (30 mins but worth it):

He has red flags for DV. Leaving is a dangerous time for women. It's not unreasonable but it can definitely be unsafe. I'd let him go to work then pack up and go.

Get out of there. And tell son’s mum what he is doing with the son also.

Wow! Get the hell out of there take his son back to his mam asap,tell her everything even thow your other half will tell her other wise,contact police asap,accident waiting to happen what is so important that he cant wait to use his mobile phone out of his car?unless hes dealing in drugs himself which by the sounds of his reaction when confronted he is.
Did he even think of his poor terrfied son at any stage?no he didnt,sounds like your life is been made so miserable by this utter tosser controlling freak,please if you have anywhere to go get the hell out of there and as far away as possible from this man.

You might not get in the car with him but he’s risking other people’s lives. Does he drive like that with his son in the car?

Personally I would leave him, report him to the police and tell the child’s mother.

He is a danger to everyone, including himself. Leave. And I hope someone reports him or he gets stopped by the police. He shouldn't be driving.

I’m sure I saw on a tv programme that Cannabis stays for more than a day, especially for heavy or regular users, so you are risking your life and your step son’s life by ever getting in the car with him.

Report his behaviour to children's services.

A former colleague did his phd research on this topic. Texting while driving is equivalent to driving while drunk and being c4 times over the limit
I though the penalty was much higher than 3 points too
