Whatvsort of man/father screams and shouts abuse at me while his teenage kids are in the room I've just been told to f off a prick and the fat c word. How lovely all because I said one of them should have been keeping an eye on the dog who had just eaten a chocolate biscuit . Oh to win the lottery :(((((

Question: What sort of man one verbally abuses his dw while his dc are in the room?

Answer: A man who deserves to be served with a divorce petition.

and soon....

maybe look at this if you want to check just how unreasonable his behaviour is.

dondon33 · 03/07/2012 04:56

A complete and utter arsehole is the sort of man that would do that.

That was above and beyond out of order.

Have you asked yourself what kind of woman puts up with this kind of shit from their dh, Stoney?

And what kind of lessons her dc are learning about relationships?

Stoney666 · 03/07/2012 08:33

Can assure u I give as good as I get am just furious that he feels he needs to do it in front of kids.

What do you get out of this relationship now?

You do not need a lottery win to get this verbally abusive man out of your day to day lives.

You as a couple are both teaching your children damaging lessons.
Your daughters will likely go onto choose men exactly like their dad and verbally abuse them in the same manner as well. You are not showing your children that it is not okay to be treated like this.

Such men do great harm to overall self esteem and worth and your daughters are being affected by their parents behaviours towards each other.

"giving as good as you get" does nothing healthy to your relationship, or the relationship model you are giving your DC. It does not cancel out his abusive behaviour.

The only acceptable level of abuse in a relationship is none.

foolonthehill · 03/07/2012 09:56

and that goes both ways.

Inadeeptrance · 03/07/2012 10:34

An abusive man is the answer to that question. Giving as good as you get doesn't work though does it? It doesn't stop him abusing you and it won't make it go away.

Your kids are learning about relationships from this. Your relationship is abusive and your kids are suffering too. Sad

This is NOT normal behaviour. Please get help, get support and leave. This won't get better, but could well get worse.

Read Lundy Bancrofts book 'Why does he do that', you can get it on Amazon. It will answer so many of your questions.

"The only acceptable level of abuse in a relationship is none"
Brilliant words hotdamn. Should be on posters everywhere.
Stoney- please take the advice of the fantastic posters in this sdection, and good luck.

Plenty more where that came from in this thread by the brilliand reality, montmartre. A thread which should really be a sticky at the top of the Relationships board, and required reading for all posters.
