Haven’t spoken in day to partner

Haven’t spoken since Friday.
The day before I nearly lost my step dad to a diabetic hypo. It was very traumatic.
Next day my mum popped round just to catch up and give her some support. My partner came in with our son (who has cerebral palsy in both legs and one arm) holding my his hands and dangling him down his back. I immediately jumped up and told him not to do it because of his condition. He started shouting at me in front of my mum and I then had to apologise to her because of his behavioiur.
Apparently it is all my fault, and I need to get my thyroid checked out again (was having suspected issues) because I’m behaving unbalanced.
I am so angry he shouted like that at me in front of my mother after her ordeal, and being so rude.
He’s been banging around all weekend and I’ve just ignored him until he apologises. Am I being childish?

This will hardly be the first time he's behaved like this.

Spend your quiet time mulling over what the relationship is like day to day, and look closely at what you've accepted in the past.

Do you think the anxiety and stress possibly led you to react differently than you might normally? Or do you usually watch how you speak to him?

Seems like you are both stressed out by the weekends events. Your partner is your DSs father so knows the limitations of DSs condition as well as you do . You dont need to shout at him any more than he needs to shout at you. Maybe see if you can have a quiet talk before bedtime tonight and clear the air.

After reading this and granted I don’t know the full story think you're both stressed and taking it out on each other. You haven't spoken since Friday so be the bigger person and approach DH and have a moment. Calmy explain how you feel and say you're upset for shouting to you. Don't mention mother because he shouldn't shout at you regardless.

If he's like my DH if you start to raise your voice he will match it and will get out of hand. We learnt the hard way.

Yes bunnie. However, it’s always me to smooth things over and I’m tired of doing that.
You’re right. We match each other and it’s actually been nice not speaking to him. Needed a break

You’re enjoying not speaking to him?
Might be time to think about the future of this relationship

When me and my DH have a argument not speaking for a day or two helps you think over things. It's so frustrating when you're the one that normally has to break the silence but he can't speak to you in that manner so you not breaking the silence shows you mean business this time.
