'D' h is shouty and gets annoyed and angry. One example- he told my 11 yr old ds to go to bed at 9pm (inset day tomorrow so no need for early night...)Ds was hungry so I said for him to grab something and then do teeth and bed. Husband erupted at me, saying that I'd undermined him and was shouting at me.
I hadn't undermined him- I just thought Ds should eat if hungry!

This is a typical scenario .

I've had it. With his shouting, with his shallowness and with his ego

Do you work? Do you own or rent your house? Is he DS's father?

Can you afford a solicitor?

Or do I just keep plodding on? I think it's gone past being able to pretend now tbh

i think you need to at least put some action into place regarding things.

Perhaps you can put a two pronged action into place.

Leave - see a solicitor, have a good nosey and see where all the money is (if you don’t already. Some solicitors will give a free 30 minute consultation. Or citizens advice might help. Look at wikivorce on line.

and

Stay - Try and have a talk with him and explain how you feel. Technically you did ‘undermine’ him, but I would have done the same because a hungry child will never fall asleep.

What you need most is a partner that doesn’t get angry as a first resort. Have the talk when you are both relaxed and calm.**

Perhaps keep a journal for a while.

To think about leaving over this is OTT IMO.

Talk about it with him, couples have arguments like that all the time
