Arguments

Me and my partner have been arguing quite alot... I love him with all my heart, but when he gets angry or upset he gets even more angry if I cry, resulting in him saying hurtful things. I try really hard not to cry, but I hate arguing with him. He says I don't listen and I don't think... But all I do is listen to him and try and make him happy. And I know I make mistakes (not thinking) but everyone does... I finally stood up for myself yesterday and told him how much it hurt when he called me names, and he did say sorry. I think this is a massive step forward but I still really don't want to argue with him and I don't know how to stop it... I don't want our little boy growing up with parents that fight all the time!

Well perhaps just immediately say “ I’m sorry, I’m so tired, I didn’t think” or if you don’t think you are in the wrong “ let’s talk about this like adults, it’s distressing to argue in front of the baby”
