Help me not ruin my amazing day

Went out with LO and friend to the seaside had such a lovely time as LO had been asking me to go since the beginning of lockdown. We got out early in the morning so we could spend a decent time there and leave to get back home for 9ish.
Got back and as you can imagine LO is restless even though hes had 2 naps which he usually doesnt anymore. Anyway I tried to get in to the house but OH left the key in the door so couldn't open it, so had to call him and break his sleep to do so, even though I've mentioned this a million times. He opened it and went straight back to bed.
I took LO into the bathroom to sort him out and stuck him in the bath with the shower running, I was in the kitchen and could see him. I started sorting out the sandy clothes to stick them in the wash, LO was slightly moany cz he wanted me to hold him but still fine.

OH come downstairs and starts commenting on random crap. Then hes like hurry up and sort him out hes been in the shower ages, I said he needs a proper wash because hes got sand in every crevice. He kept ignoring what I was saying and started swearing and telling me to leave everything and sort his son out. LO started getting more agitated hearing the argument which fustrated OH and he kept swearing at me I got annoyed and repeated the same swear, he then threw LOs battery powered toothbrush at me with force it hit my forehead and landed in to the bathtub just missing LO.

Hes now said that my family and friends cant have contact with LO and hes going to tell them to fuck off. He does say this often when hes angry.

Hes just ruined our perfect day

Jesus. This is awful. You are in an abusive relationship. Please make plans to leave.

Heck, you have to decide if you're going to allow him to ruin your LIFE!

Obviously you know this man is unsuitable and you've done so well to speak up. The next steps have to be taken by you though, we can't leave him for you.

So many women have been just where you are and are now doing brilliantly without these men. You can do it, too. X

georgarina · 31/05/2021 07:24

OP honestly this sounds like abuse. The way he was trying to provoke you and find ways to upset you, then assaulted you.

Your poor LO will grow up scarred if this is how your partner is at home.

You both deserve better. I know it's easier said than done but I grew up with similar and now I find it very hard to trust and enjoy things, have relationships, etc.

DancesWithTortoises · 31/05/2021 07:31

There can be no reason to stay with this abusive prick. Please leave, OP, for your child's sake.

JadedStrumpet · 31/05/2021 07:38

This man is highly abusive. He will ruin your sons childhood.
Please leave for your sons sake. No child deserves to live like this.

Bluntness100 · 31/05/2021 07:43

I don’t understand your thread title? How do you need help not to ruin your day? You’re in an abusive relationship and it’s being played out in front of your son, he’s witnessing you being assaulted. He’s being used a as a weapon.

What is stopping you leaving?

Quaverscrisps · 31/05/2021 07:48

Your poor son. My empathy lies with him as you seem to really minimize this situation. There are no perfect days with abusers, and no childhood for your children either. You were lucky he didn't have your eye out. What's the level he has to get to before you leave? Please get yourself and your children to safety today.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep · 31/05/2021 07:49

Your life isn't going to get any better while you are with this horrible man. Your child is being harmed by his behaviour. When are you going to leave him?

Sorehandsandfeet · 31/05/2021 07:51

He is using your lo to control you. Taking him/saying who can have contact. My friend's husband ruins all her 'special days' it is a form of abuse. It's to stop her wanting to have a life. She won't leave him because, she says, he will make her life hell in regards to the children. I wish she would kick him out because she is so unhappy in the marriage. You sound to be in a similar position, don't be feeling as my friend does 10 years down the line.

category12 · 31/05/2021 07:58

It's a very strange title for your post, given it was entirely your arsehole bloke who ruined your day.

Speak to local domestic abuse services and exit the relationship - he was violent, This only gets worse.

Beechview · 31/05/2021 08:14

It sounds like you try to stand up to him but he’s going further and further to make sure he controls your life through his abuse. He’s using your LO to abuse you and inflict his misery.
He’ll keep stepping it up and it’ll get more and more difficult for you to enjoy your life. Your LO will be hugely affected too.
Can you get anyone to help you to leave?

Bananalanacake · 31/05/2021 08:42

Are you married, who owns the property you live in.

Grimacenotgrommet · 31/05/2021 08:46

This sounds a horrible relationship. You do not have to tolerate him being physically abusive throwing things at you nor rude and arguementative.
Honestly OP you may have lost track of how awful this really is if you are experiencing it frequently.

Please tell someone you trust and consider leaving your your child.

Ifimight · 31/05/2021 08:48

He's assaulted you. This is domestic violence. Is there anyone you can talk to in real life? Otherwise women's aid could help you. It wouldn't be an overreaction to call the police.

Ginger1982 · 31/05/2021 08:48

Is there a reason he was asleep at 9pm? That aside, he assaulted you with the toothbrush and shouting and swearing at you is not on either. Neither is locking you out. Do you have somewhere else you can go? What's your financial set up?

Thinkaboutthings · 31/05/2021 08:50

Is this the same bloke who keeps deliberately locking you out?

Butterfly44 · 31/05/2021 09:12

My dad was like this. Abusive to my mum and me, awful temper. It will definitely affect your child. My relationship with him is superficial, and even now almost 50 years later I think about those times with anger. I often wished my mum would leave him. She never did. If there were any happy childhood memories I don't remember them, only the bad ones stick in my mind. Get out while you can still can, it will undoubtedly happen again. You deserve care and respect and life is short.

notapizzaeater · 31/05/2021 10:40

What exactly does he bring to the party ? You've had a lovely day out with your LO and he's been at home all day. He deliberately locked you out and abused you in front of your child.

Isthisit22 · 31/05/2021 16:24

He has assaulted you in front of your child- you need to leave: for your own safety and to not damage your poor child any further.

Embracelife · 31/05/2021 16:48

And next time the flying object smashes your child s brain.
Don't wait for that to happen
