Am I a crap partner?

Been with partner 4 years. We have an 18 month old.
I have 3 older kids from previous relationship they see their dad were friends all is good.

current partner still has his own property as not sold or rented it out yet thank god now!

I like to think myself as a confident, friendly, warm person. I enjoy being a mum very much. I enjoy being a good friend I enjoy seeing my family happy. Etc. but recently I’ve felt my spark just die if I’m honest.

my partner has some good quality’s. He’s hard working. He does help round the house (I don’t ask him to) he’s a fairly good dad to our son on a whole he’s clean, presentable etc.

however.. he is incredibly Jelous our 1 year old is a total mummies boy. He loves his dad but always chooses ne first. I don’t play into this or anything. He says look at him he’s fucking obsessed with you. You’re raising a bitch. He’s not gonna be a man.
I explain he’s a child he doesn’t need raising as a man yet, just a loving happy child for now.

he moans if our boy is unsettled at night it wants to get in our bed for a cuddle. He storms off downstairs onto the sofa then moans the whole next day he hadn’t slept.

I never ask him for help in the night I always see to baby.

if he’s upset or in a mood with me he calls me fat and tells me I’m shit in bed.
(I’m 11 stone) size 12 for reference.
And tells me he doesn’t need to be with me and I’m not a loss to him what so ever. I feel so low. This is just a few of the horrid things he says to me.

he goes to bed at 9.30 and flips almost if a pin drops (he’s an awful sleeper) sick of living on egg shells.

He tells me he looked and felt better before us and was richer. Just hate myself

What the F?
Why on earth are you focusing on what sort of partner you are and not what a complete arsehole you have decided to procreate with?

He says look at him he’s fucking obsessed with you. You’re raising a bitch. He’s not gonna be a man.

How does he treat your other children? He sounds vile.

MeAndMyGhost · 30/06/2026 17:05

He sounds utterly revolting.

Be happy: leave immediately.

Get out now.

Hea clearly not a good dad or partner.
You'll be better off without him.
What an awful excuse of a man for your children to see.

Change the locks and tell him to fuck off.

Up to you, but in around eleven years you'll be posting about your son, who has anger issues and speaks to you like shit. Your partner is destroying everyone's MH. Why are you subjecting your children to this?

Unfortunately it sounds like he thinks that you're lucky to have him. Knowing the way men think, it could very well be because you have 3 older kids. He sounds a bit emotional and obsessed with the 1 year old, probably because it is his kid. None of this is in any way your fault. Does he want you to encourage your son to have more of a relationship with him and do 'manly' things or something. Id stay living in separate houses whatever you do!
