AIBU to expect my DP to apologise after this (if not at least acknowledge it happened?).
He woke DS (15months) at 12.30 last night when he got back from pub, being noisy on the way to the loo. To my horror he went in to DS (I'd have tip-toed away and left DS to settle for a few minutes and only gone in if he really persisted, as is the norm). But DP picked him up, chatted loudly to him, put him back down, contiued being noisy and disturbing him by loud antics in the bathroom and came back down stairs. I asked DP to shut the stair door and asked him (admittedly rather grumpily) what he thought he'd acheived by this as DS is now wide awake crying and will take much longer to settle had he just left him alone in the first place.
To this he swore loudly at me (a round of fu*ks) at my tone of voice, all in earshot of DS. I asked him to be quiet so that DS could settle. I went to have a cigarette (pls don't judge me on this, I never smoke in front of DS) planning to take some honey & lemon to DS myself if he was still crying in a few minutes. I could hear that all went quiet.
When I came back in I was stunned to find DP downstairs with DS on his lap in front of the telly. DP then growled at me for waking DS by coming back in!!! I told DP that the best place for DS was in his room, reminded him that we NEVER bring him downstairs normally so he was probably confusing DS. DP said that DS was just as much his son and that he knew what he was doing.
He then took DS up to his room. All went quiet but DP was in there ages so I poked head round to find DP still holding DS while lying down on a single bed and both were asleep. I was horrified as DS was so precariously balanced and could easliy have fallen off DP so I woke him and told him to leave DS to me.
I then did the norm of cuddling DS to settle and put him back in his cot. He cried for ages and DP and I ended up rowing because I was furious at his behaviour and DP told me loudly to "Fu*k off". I ended up saying I thought we were near the end of the road as I can't tolerate this any more, DP agreed.
DP went to sleep and it took me til 4am to settle DS. I've been crying all day, am thick with a heavy cold and not been able to rest, with all the worries going round in my head at how unhealthy our relationship has become, and what to do if we do split up.
DP is carrying on like NOTHING has happened and I feel really hurt and confused. I've no idea how to handle this. I am aware I can be horrible grumpy baggage when tired or poorly but I always take responsibility if I'm out of order and apologise. I'm terrified of the effeect on DS, hearing his parents be so abusive to each other but I don't feel we can make positive steps forward unless DP actually admits his part in things and aplogises. I am so . Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me?
And thank you for getting to the end of my rant
