DH speaking to me like dirt

Hi all,

I’m just ranting or having a bit of a pity party, but lately DH has started speaking to me like dirt. I can’t pinpoint when it started but it’s just becoming more regular.

He gets just angry about the most insignificant things. I’ll use what just happened now as an example, it’s really hot weather and we were getting ready to go out to a park today. When DD (21 months was napping) I laid out some clothes for her, so after she woke up we got her changed to go. After she got changed, I wasn’t sure I liked the outfit and said ‘oh you don’t think she looks like a little sailor boy do you’ and he said yes but it’s the clothes you f’ing well chose and I’m not f’ing changing her now and then he started raving and ranting about that and I said I just don’t want her to look silly and he just went off on one calling me f’ing stupid and ridiculous and to shut my f’ing mouth. He then told me I had to stay in and I wasn’t allowed to go out with him and DD because all I do is ruin every weekend. I had to go to the bathroom and have a little sob.

I understand I might be a bit annoying but I don’t think I deserve to be shouted at like this especially over something so small. The above is just an example, this sort of stuff is happening more and more often. I tried to speak to him about it in the car after he said I was allowed to come and said even if what I was saying silly, his reaction was extreme and unwarranted. He was having none of it.

I’m also 16 weeks pregnant with dc2. I had quite an abusive childhood so being spoken to like this makes me so sad. Am I being over sensitive?

So faithful, a man shouting at you "you're fucking stupid", "shut your fucking mouth" , "you can stay at home, you ruin every weekend" etc. would result in pregnant you saying "oh what's behind this dearest, do you need more sleep, do you need a back massage, how can we fix this problem ...."

Hmm.

It is abuse, he is abusive. Posters aren't
And he's doing it in front of her little child!!!! posters aren't advising her to leave an non abusive man.

And I bet ops taken s lot more before she posted about this incident ... What's "every weekend" about?
Plus people virtually never post on here at first incident.

As I said - really irresponsible, minimising, post.

No one is asking her to take the shouting and swearing from him! Read ALL her posts...it wasn't the norm for him and it's just more frequent recently. It shouldn't be happening in front of kids or when she's alone EITHER but the OP has said he wasn't like this before.

I'm sorry what? Massage? Sleep? If that's what you gather from my posts then God help us all @MarshmallowAra do your research
