Hi,
I have posted on here before over a similar incident.
DP has such a nasty mouth. A silly little disagreement very quickly turns into a full blown verbal attack
On Sat morning he called me a cnt and told me to fck off. I stood there and took it all - he started attacking me again: I am so lazy, my cleaning is not up to scratch blah blah blah. And while I was standing there just taking it all, I suddenly realised that I shouldn't be and said to him I do not to be in a relationship with someone who thinks it is OK to speak to me like that, so he said "Fine" and packed up his stuff and left, blaming me for the reason this relationship is failing.
He didn't even say good bye to our son (3).
I went out and said that he had to say good-bye to him, so he said "Good-bye, see you next week" and walked off
Now he has major issues with abandonment, so I can't believe he could be so cold to his own son.
I tried to call him several times yesterday and he just cuts me off.
I really want to talk to him I am totally broken hearted.
Last time this happenend (everytime he is stressed over something it manifests in our relationship with a massive blow out) he apologised and agreed it was wrong, and agree to couples counselling. But due to financial reasons (money, taking time off work, finding a baby sitter) we never did it.
I also didn't want to rock the boat, the times in between these incidents are great.
I feel so weak and stupid, I am sure you will all tell me to walk away.
What I really want is advice on how to get through today... keep quiet, try texting to say we need to talk?
I have so much work to do today and cannot focus on it, as well as looking after DS, I just can't see the woods for the trees

Don't text him or chase him. Leave him to his tantrum. he knows he was wrong.

Go out - take ds to a friends or family or soft play or something.

I agree,it's easy for me to say that i know cos i am not in your shoes,but leave him be,he knows he is in the wrong.

Keep yourself busy today & when he gets in touch you need to say you both either go for the counselling or you call it a day.

Good luck.

Seriously, your DP is being a total arse. Acting worse than a spoilt child.

He has NO EXCUSES for being so vulgar to you, if he doesn't accept that he's wrong to speak to you like that and treat you like that, then he needs to go to counselling with you, or as someone else said, just call it a day.

You can TELL him all this... it might be the threat he needs to buck up his ideas. If it doesn't, go through with all the above and if he isn't behaving like a normal grown-up...

He's an EX-DP.
