DH just lost it with me

I'm about to give birth. He was blaming me because I haven't gone into labour yet. Then I asked him why everything good that happens in our lives he takes ownership for, and anything bad he blames on me. He explaIned in our relationship I had caused countless dramas, I then reminded him that I'd be very careful as he had created some major ones. Like seeing his ex behind my back in 2008, having an emotional affair and kissing a girl at his work, a few other unclear misdemeanours which took me a while to get over and I know am able to talk about it without being angry or bitter. I explained I'd rather have my dramas to deal with than the ones he had created in our
Lives. He went ballistic saying he only meant dramas as in day to day, not the other stuff he had done. How convient. Shouting infront of our daughter saying I had a choice if I wanted to stay or not and that I was bitter and if I couldn't let go he would leave. I'm not bitter at all, I was just stating facts. He would not stop shouting and I have been absolutely calm as anything. Speaking to him in a completely adult fashion while he absolutely lost it.
Am I supposed to pretend it never happened or not correct him when his facts are incorrect. When I corrected him when he was recalling events, saying it was 2010 the last time, I reminded him the last incident was actually 2013, he lost it again. I didn't. Sat completely calm. Is he an idiot or should I not being stuff like this up anymore, even though he is saying I create drama in our lives, when in actually factual terms, stuff he has done nearly tore us to Pieces.

Well that's going to be a relief for you.

I went as far over with ds1. I'd definitely had enough by then, even with a lovely, supportive partner.

Oh good! How long will you be in hospital? I'm old enough that when I had mine I was in for a good 48 hours (72 with DS1).

How ever long you're in, try to think a bit about your future and what you want. If someone supportive will be around enlist her help if you've decided to get away.

He most certainly is an abusive prick. I hope you do find a way to get free of him as he will damage you all carrying on like this.

In the meantime good luck with your induction.

You're asking the wrong questions, it isn't 'why does he....?' But 'why do I put up with it?'.

The price of being with this guy is his petty self entitlement, God only knows what his behaviour is teaching your daughter.
