Feeling criticised

Hey all
Lying trying to get to sleep but finding my self teary. Me and OH have been together nearly 8 years and have a 7 month old son,
I bought a picture frame for my bedside table to put a picture of my son in (it’s a nice frame and picture) he noticed it tonight and said (can’t remember exactly what he said) but basically your ott you have too many pictures of him everywhere do you not think it’s abit much. I have 1 on bedside 3 professional ones on fireplace and three on the sideboard in the living room. Am I being ott? He also criticised me when my screen saver was me and my son saying it doesn’t look like you why do you that silly thing with your mouth. I thought it was a nice one, I blocked him on Instagram because he kept saying things about my pictures. He likes too many photos of girls that use filters lol he also made a tik tok account just to follow attractive girls 2/3 months after I gave birth made me feel like utter shit
I am a sensitive person and take everything to heart.
Yesterday he phoned to ask was I putting my son on the floor so he could crawl (he’s not ready at all to crawl) not sure if his parents asked that one as when he took son to there’s at the weekend and came back raising an eyebrow saying his jeans were to tight for his legs to bend to crawl (his jeans were baggy enough and had a good amount of stretch in them)
MIL went to give son some of her donut when he was 6 months we said both said no.
OH was eating a donut asked son if he wanted any and put it to his face i moved back slight he said oh yeh I forgot only your mum can feed you. His mum and dad laughed with his brother I was pissed off at that one as in laws feed him when I’m not there bare in mine OH has never made son a meal nor cooked him a meal Angry.
Just feeling deflated like I get criticised and questioned all the time, I cry a lot more than I did before over it all, am I being over sensitive?
I come from a broken family and all Iv dreamed of is having my own to look after and love. Finding myself wondering what life would be like just me and my son
Thanks for any replies x

Seems as if it would be much better! He sounds as if he is jealous of your love for your son. And how would he feel if you made a point of following other men on tiktok? I'm willing to bet he doesn't look like the answer to a maiden's prayer! Chin up - you can - and should - do better than this twat

Your partner sounds horrible. Of course you can't have too many photos of your lovely son... Or feed him a doughnut!

You JUST had a baby, and instead of supporting and celebrating you, your DP is acting like a bully. You and your son deserve better than that OP x

I think youve posted before? I remember the too tight jeans comment.

Has your partner always been like this? Or is it new behaviour from him? If its new behaviour it sounds like hes got something else going on and hes taking it out on his relationship with you, rather than actually communicating it. You could try asking something like, 'you were never this mean and criticising before, whats happened?' See where that gets you. It may well just get you a stroppy answer.

He DOES sound like a bully though. It also sounds like his MIL is piling in too and making it worse. And, yes, life with just you and your DS does sound like it may be more pleasant.

Interested in this thread?

Your MIL is piling in. His mum. Sorry, I said his MIL in my reply.

He's a drain. You'd be better off without him. Can you talk to any family or friends in real life who can help you?

See my ex said something like that only mummy can feed you to much tutting and eye rolling from his family my response was it wouldn't kill you to make an effort once in awhile he said i do i take her for a walk so you can tidy up! I said yes you walk to your moms hand her over to your mom and play games with your brothers do I can clean your mess! His mom was unhappy about that remark because it was bloody truthful

Split parents can be happy parents just not together

What the others said.
Please don't have any more kids with this delight, it'll be harder to leave.
Good for you for being able to see through this bullshit. Get some real life support. Don't bother canvassing more opinions in real life. Some people have a very low bar and might say things like your husband isn't so bad. It's what you think that counts. Remember that OP. Flowers
