Hi all, I have name changed as a couple of his siblings know my name on here.
dp and I have been together for 10 years, and have a happy relationship. We have 2 dc's, aged 1 and 8.
(I won't go into too much detail here for fear of being outed!)
We were having a nice family day in the garden, when eldest dh started acting up a bit, back chatting etc. Dp totally over reacted to it and really started to have a pop at ds, which I hate him doing. Told him to shut up, which was the final straw for me. I told him not to talk to ds like that a couple of times, before telling him to leave him alone.
He then said aggressively to me 'well you leave me alone then' and raised his fist in anger, then let it drop again. I immediately picked up the baby, (ds wanted to stay at home) and went to my mums. (I have to point out that he was on one side of the bbq and I was on the other, he couldn't have reached me from there, it's more the action that worries me iykwim)
I was so upset by it. I knew that he wouldn't hit me, but the fact that he raised his fist to me, infront of our children, fills me with horror.
I don't know how to feel about it really. I am now in bed dp will be sleeping on the sofa..... he doesn't know that yet, but he will when he finds the spare duvet outside of the bedroom door.
He has tried to apologise me, but I couldn't even look at him, and told him apologies aren't enough.
I just need to talk to someone anoymous, hear some words of wisdom, is there anyone that can help me?
