DP irrational and defensive

[Pixieb34]

Anyone else’s DP completely irrational about their own children? I cannot say a word which slightly contradicts his thoughts and what he wants to do with his children without getting my head bitten off. Bordering on Disney behaviour at times. I get that we all feel defensive about our own children (I have 2 teenage sons also) but his is just irrational. No holding then to account on anything and all I get is ‘he’s my son’ like it’s some bleeding hearts storyline every time when in fact his son has been a total shit!!!
Sorry for rant…nearly ready for walking.

Sorry to hear this OP!

It's so hard and it doesn't get better. I'm really happy you stood up for yourself.

I don't know how serious you are about leaving, or what he might say to keep you, but remember you only have this one life and it's perfectly reasonable to not put up with this nonsense.

Of course he would backtrack, you don't need a crystal ball to find out why.
I am assuming you are refusing babysitting and laundry services as a minimum?

Keep posting here or on a new thread if you find you are having a wobble
