My usually lovely DH has just called me a fucking idiot

DH is usually really lovely he can be grumpy as we all can at times but never horrible to me.

After a normal evening of I love yous and making each other hot drinks, playing with our baby and washing up together this happens...

He has been offering to put some steroid solution on the back of my scalp because it's really flared up lately.

(This is something I'm embarrassed /ashamed about but he's always willingly done it if not offered to)

Anyway earlier in the eve I asked if he could put some on me later and he agreed.

When we sat down after I got baby to sleep, I asked him and he huffed and puffed and said that I always ask him when it's late (There's no other time when we're together Confused )

I said not to worry and started cack handedly attempting to put it on myself, he got up and attempted to man handle me into the position that I normally sit in for him to apply this solution but I didn't want him to because he didn't want to.

He then called me a fucking idiot twice. I was quite shocked and he hasn't apologised. Just told me to "deal with it" and that I was being a proud fucking idiot.

I said how dare you and told him he's not to ever call me that again.

I'm now reeling in the spare room I don't want my baby to grow up hearing daddy call mummy such horrible things.

Even the word idiot is making me wonder if he even respects me.

So out of character- he is literally the most lovely man apart from this one incident. But it's a hard thing to get over especially with no forth coming apologies.

What should I do?

Glad it is resolved I had a similar issues with my Dh too and he has just apologised.

On another one what is so embarrassing about your sore bit on your head?

Everyone's focussing on the swearing and name calling, what about the attempting to physically force her and man handle into position? Agree that it sounds like he was on his last nerve but there's no excuse for that!

Great it's sorted, I agree with Ellisandra let him do it if he does a good job, never feel embarrassed with your OH.

No one's perfect. Sounds like he was knackered. He's apologised. You've made it clear it's not OK and you don't tolerate it. It's just one of the normal ups and downs of family life. Not a big deal at all.

My dh has cream he put a on sore spots on his back. I don't mind helping him but he literally always asks as my arse hits the sofa and the dc have finally stopped demanding stuff. Sometimes I have a a strop. It doesn't mean I don't love him or want to help but I'm so fed up of people needing stuff!

He shouldn't have called you a fucking idiot but sounds a bit like a storm in a teacup blown out of proportion by exhaustion.

Ga he has apologised. He was probably having a bad day BUT when a woman has a newborn this is when negative behaviour can surface. Stand up for yourself and call it every time that you see it.Flowers

I get huffy sometimes but I've never called my DP a fucking idiot Confused

I also don't like the part where you said he manhandled you into the normal position.

Fair enough you may have annoyed him, you might've got on his nerves, but I don't think that justifies him physically putting you in that position and calling you a fucking idiot
