Hello All,
I feel gutted, but above all humiliated by my partner's words.
Just a little background, last night we hosted a dinner party in the garden with few friends and that went fine. This morning as I was tidying up - loading the dishwasher, I told him that the cabbage that he was given when he visited the allotment had gone off - the smell was awful. I threw most it if away in the garden when I returned back in the kitchen, my partner asked me rudely, "What's that smell?" I told him it was the cabbage.
He asked me again, "Are you sure?" I repeatedly told him that it was the cabbage, it was at this stage that he held my trousers and said, "Did you changed your clothes from last night?"
This really upset me, I showered twice a day, change my clothes daily and in fact, I had showered this morning and last night clothes were in the washing machine. I felt so embarrassed then really upset and then utter disappointment in someone that I felt knew me.
To make this even worst we were in the garden together this morning while I was having my coffee and later on, we sat close to each other on the sofa. I am so hurt and have been avoiding him and this may be the deal breaker. Because I refused to accept his apologies, he verbally abused me, then came back and apologised again and I am still not accepting this kind of behaviour.
Why do I feel so hurt?
