I have a DC 3 with my partner - who seems nice and normal and an engaged parent.
But sometimes he makes me uneasy.
This started when our DC was a baby, and my partner seemed to take glee in when DC didn’t want to go to me. When DC had fallen over and was hurt and needed consoling by me, my partner would quickly scoop up the child and not let them go.
He also seems to try and gatekeeper our DC - if I say something to DC my partner will immediately follow up so we can’t interact.
These are really small things individually, but overall make me very uncomfortable.
Add to this, he’s a default liar, as in if he does something wrong and gets picked up for it he will automatically deny until I go and look into it and he eventually admits it.
Something feels off and I can’t decide what it is. Any similar experiences or outsider opinions appreciated.
Basically wondering if I’m being ridiculous when I consider leaving.
