Is this selfish of me?

Please be kind as I am already suffering from low self esteem and anxiety.

Last night dd6 had a sore bum. Ex wife (she wants to split I don't, still living in same house), bathed her and put cream on her bum and private area.

I helped dd6 in Bath and got her out and offered the cream to soathe.

Ex wife said to dd6 come downstairs on watch some TV with me. Dd6 lay on sofa with Ex wife. Dd6 was shouting for me to go downstairs. She was crying abit in discomfort.
It was 11pm at night.
Ex wife had been in bed earlier for a sleep and I hadn't, so I was tired.

I went downstairs and gave dd6 a cuddle and kiss and said I am going to bed now as mammy is tired.

Ex wife who was sitting next to dd6 said how selfish I am for wanting to go to bed when dd6 was in discomfort.

I said its best I go to bed so we're both not tired in the morning.

Ex wife just moaned on saying how selfish I am. She's really knocking my confidence that is already at a low point.

Just want some others point of view in the situation.

I had to tell wife to stop arguing with me in front of dd6.

She continued to call me selfish 😥

The two of you living together is not working. You've posted many times about how unhappy you are. Are either of you planning to move out?

I cannot afford to move our and she won't move out either

One of you needs to move out and you need to parent DD separately. You should've just ignored her and left the room to avoid the argument.

Same advice as your other threads op.

Frankly, either leave or stop moaning about your shit living situation. There is no other solution, nothing else will ever work or make it better.
