Sorry new to this but at my wits end with my relationship of 8 years, we have a 6 yr old child together and over the past few years things have gotten out of control! I believe he’s a narcissist but he thinks I’m the crazy one!? On a daily basis while he works mon to fri i work sat sun due to our son, and school, he phones me several times per day asking what I’m doing we’re ive been etc yet if I miss the call I’m hounded with txts asking what I’m doing or phone me now! As if there’s some emergency yet it’s all just to ask what I’m doing??? Then when I’m at work sat sun I get no phone calls from him and if I txt him asking what he’s upto I get nothing but abuse telling me to fk off and he can’t b arsed txting! Then when I say why r u so nasty I get a reply with no that’s u! He’s always looking for an argument and he’s become very rude and disrespectful, he fires nasty vile names at me on a daily basis if I do or say something that pisses him off, if I try stand up for myself and give him back as good as he gives I’m then suddenly a physco, head case! He smashed items in the house but never hit me, but his vile words are just as painful as a punch! He constantly accuses me of cheating which I havnt yet I’m not aloud to touch or look at his phone? He’s a great dad but I feel I’m the target for all his rage! Iv become very depressed and Iv had days when I feel I don’t wanna b here! I just wanna no why someone can one day speak and treat you great to then turn around and use u as a verbal punch bag the next, my son isn’t normally there when this happens but he has been upset on a few occasions over the words that come out his dads mouth and to see his Mum crumble isn’t what I want, Iv told him to leave plenty times ( it’s my house) but he starts with his evil nasty ways saying he gonna empty the house wen I’m at work or get rid of my pets while I’m at work, Iv had police involved once but they weren’t interested because he hadn’t physically hurt me
I feel I walk on eggshells in my own home everyday scared of what mood he’s gonna b in! He’s very disrespectful to his family especially him mum and sisters who get the same vile names thrown at them as me! He’s always got to be right and as soon as he realises he’s not then u get called everything under the sun or he storms off slamming doors swearing etc! He’s a grown man and not sum silly little boy but I’m just so hurt right now I don’t no what to do or think! He’s constantly saying I need locked up and that I’m the problem I’m a head case and I’m mentally unstable and it’s all in my head but I no how relationships work and certainly calling me a dog, ugly, slag a mess etc is not on and not normal! I can’t have a normal convo with him anymore as he tells me to shut up he’s not interested in what I’m saying but Iv gotta sit and listen to him babble on about his day and show interest or I get called a rude c
t and then get silent treatment for the rest of the day apart from when he fires the odd name at me or barks at me ! ( yes he barks at me ) Sad I just want to no that it’s not all me over reacting and that this guy is the problem not me! Thanks

He is most definitely the problem.

What is the house/job/marriage situation?

HelenUrth · 02/09/2018 14:07

He's not a great dad. He's teaching his son that women are there to be abused.

Get out.

FuckItPassMeTheWine · 02/09/2018 14:08

Right ok, this is abuse you need to get rid pronto before it escalates. Who owns the house? Can you ask him to leave? Do you have any friends /family that can help and support you?

This man sounds deeply unpleasant and I think you should call woman’s aid ! They will give you an action plan to get your ducks in a row . You don’t deserve to live like this Flowers xxx

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 02/09/2018 14:13

He sounds as though he doesn't actually like you very much, sorry.

FuckItPassMeTheWine · 02/09/2018 14:15

@NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 what the fuck kind of advice is that ? It’s almost victim blaming . Your “advice” is shit

MistressDeeCee · 02/09/2018 14:15

He’s always looking for an argument and he’s become very rude and disrespectful, he fires nasty vile names at me on a daily basis

This alone would be enough for him to have to get to fuck out of my life. No return. Im surprised your employers haven't had a diplomatic word with you re him disturbing your work.

I absolutely would not waste years of this 1 life locking horns with such a pain in the arse of a man. Stalkerish and verbally abusive behaviour too...I bet he's a veritable mouse at work and only has a big loose talking mouth for you.

Nah - fuck off. I wouldn't care about previous years invested with him or that he's the father of DCs either. I'd get shot and have a peaceful, noise-free home and life.

As he's DCs father you'll have to have some contact if you split. But he won't be sharing your living space so all his screeching will be in vain. He'll have to stick that in his pipe and smoke it won't he

Hear hear FuckItPassMeTheWine
He's an utter prick

VioletCharlotte · 02/09/2018 14:35

Oh OP, this is awful to read. It could have been me editing this 15 years ago when I was still with my abusive ex and my boys were very little. Please get out. You deserve so much better and so does your child. What sort of support do you have around you? Do you have family and friends who can help you? I would also advise getting in touch with Women's Aid Thanks

Soontobe60 · 02/09/2018 14:42

I wonder how long ago you went to the police? The laws around spousal abuse have changed recently. What he's doing is classed as coercive controlling behaviour. If you are scared of how he may behave, and he has behaved this wY in the presence of your child, then this is not acceptable. Keep a record of everything he has said, screenshot text messages and forward them to a trusted friend so that if he gets hold of your phone and deletes everything you still have evidence.
Go back to the police, or at the minimum, contact a woman's refuge for advice. They do lots of work with women who suffer this type of abuse.
This is NOT normal, and must not be tolerated anymore. It will be having a big impact on your child.

gamerchick · 02/09/2018 14:45

He’s a great dad

Why do people starting these threads say this?

He's teaching your son how to treat woman, what's great about that?

Save your bairns future!

HisBetterHalf · 02/09/2018 15:31

He is not a great dad and he is a horrible human being. Seek advice and get rid. You and your son deserve better

twilightsaga · 02/09/2018 19:35

Sounds like my ex. The relief when you walk away and have a calm and stress free home is amazing honestly. When he's at work get the locks changed.
