Husband called me this:

Context: I brought in slightly damp washing and then didn't prostrate myself with sorrow when he wanted it rewashing now.

He threw washing basket across room and called me a "Lazy Fat Cunt".

Now he might have w point about washing, but I can't get over the language.

Feeling a bit WTF, to be honest.

Just wanted to get it down.

Throwing the basket and verbally abusing you are both terrible things for him to have done. Has he done this kind of thing before?

Justmuddlingalong · 25/08/2018 15:14

Why doesn't he load the washing machine, is it out of his capability?

preggersx · 25/08/2018 15:14

Why would he want it re washing???? LTB. Words like that are appalling. You are his wife. He clearly shows you no respect whatsoever. Horrible twat

Cloudyapples · 25/08/2018 15:14

Why did he want it rewashing? And why couldn’t he do it himself? Ltb he sounds awful

Thingsdogetbetter · 25/08/2018 15:14

Threw the basket across the room? Wtf!

Is this really the first time he's been physical and verbally abusive?

preggersx · 25/08/2018 15:15

Also worrying that you think he might have a point about the washing. It's washing ffs.

Goostacean · 25/08/2018 15:15

Neither of these things are acceptable, OP. Sorry you’re being treated like this. Is he always like this?

Tbh, it doesn’t even matter. Even one incident like this is so, so wrong.

parkinpig · 25/08/2018 15:16

He works, I was made redundant.

Hope you left the basket where he threw it

LexieLulu · 25/08/2018 15:16

Just cause you're not currently working does not make you a slave

Floaty2018 · 25/08/2018 15:17

His behaviour and language is inexcusable.
LTB.

Moominfan · 25/08/2018 15:18

Ok this is my first Ltb, not ok behaviour whatever stresses are going on. Is this how he normally talks to you?

Goostacean · 25/08/2018 15:19

Working has nothing to do with it, OP. Sorry. :(

AnduinsGirl · 25/08/2018 15:19

Anyone who called me that would never get the chance to do it again!

Ohyesiam · 25/08/2018 15:19

Op so sorry this happened to you.
He isn’t right about the washing, sounds like he just wanted to cause trouble. The way he spoke to you has no excuses.

parkinpig · 25/08/2018 15:20

I've left the basket, he can pick it up.

I feel really useless right now. Thanks for reading. I'm just staying upstairs out of the way.

SisterCage · 25/08/2018 15:22

This is disgusting.

Do you have somewhere you can go, preferably overnight or for the rest of the weekend, to be away from him while you gather your thoughts?

AtrociousCircumstance · 25/08/2018 15:23

He sounds horrible. Your partner should make your life better and lift you up. Otherwise what is the point?!

Don’t self-harm by staying with an arsehole like that.

Jozxyqk · 25/08/2018 15:23

The washing could have been hung up again later, or on an airer inside, to finish drying. But that's actually irrelevant to the main issue...

He shouldn't feel it's ok to treat you like that. Has he ever done anything like this before? What's your relationship like usually?

AmyRhodes · 25/08/2018 15:25

Stay calm and quietly let him stew over what he's said and done.

If he's a decent man, he'll feel truly awful and apologise profusely.

picklemepopcorn · 25/08/2018 15:27

You aren't useless.

Where can you go?

parkinpig · 25/08/2018 15:28

He calls me names when he gets really really angry.

I know that if I had funds instead of debt I'd leave him. I'm just staying out of his way. He's on the console downstairs.

I put it down to being an only child who's never lived alone. He went from Mum to me.

OP posts:
TomHardysNextWife · 25/08/2018 15:28

It's done, he's said it. That can't be taken back.

But if he doesn't apologise and mean it, I'd LTB.

That's not on.

pachiano1 · 25/08/2018 15:29

Tell him to fuck off back to her Angry

parkinpig · 25/08/2018 15:30

It's his house, he works. He knows I have no escape route.
