Stressed and horrible partner

My partner has been working lots of extra hours- making his days long. Which is hard on him, but hard on everyone else as well as a knock on. I try my best to support him- do all the cooking, washing etc to help get him through. Listen and let him offload. I find it hard never really seeing him.

When he is very tired, he can be very touchy and has a short fuse. He becomes aggressive verbally and storms off for hours. I hate it when he is like this. It’s happened again tonight, with the added bonus of his making some pretty awful personal comments towards me.
Feel like I’ve had everything thrown back in my face and honestly don’t know why I put myself out for someone that clearly, when it comes down to it, doesn’t really respect me.
We are due to go away on holiday next week and I feel like I really can’t be bothered and don’t want to go away with him.
Dunno what to do.

Another man who thinks that women are a container for their rage.

Last nights horribleness has carried into today, culminating in being told to that he only sleeps with me because nothing better has come along and that I’m a really shit partner.

Wow for that alone he'd be out of the door!
