So I'm a stay at home mum. Am I going insane here or do I have a point?!
I left partner last can of cola in fridge to take to work. He wasn't happy with me as he normally takes two to work. I apologised I didn't know he took two. It's not like I took the last one?!
Then he was getting crisps to take to work. He looked at me and continued to tell me how selfish I were. All the good ones have gone. I left him with the rubbish ones. I said sorry. He slammed the kitchen door and then slammed the bedroom door.
I haven't spoken to him all day until this evening. He asked what my problem was and I said was the slamming doors necessary? It isn't nice infront of purpose little girl. He then snapped back and said if i wasn't so selfish all of the time he wouldn't do it. It's my fault. And if I continue to be selfish he will do it again.
I'm so exhausted. No self esteem left. I'm selfish yes I get it. Why do I continue to be in this horrible cycle. Need a shoulder :(

Oh no don’t be harsh on yourself that is very childish of you partner over a can of coke and some crisp chin up and send you big hugs xx

He sounds really childish, like a toddler having a tantrum

Honestly he seems like a toddler and a complete waste of space. He needs to grow up and realise throwing tantrums over snacks and lashing out is the dumbest thing ever

Me and my partner have a little jokey jibe at each other when the good crisps go first but that isn't a laugh between partners or even just a bit of a moan (which we're all guilty of) that's a full blown tantrum over something really f*cking ridiculous! Xxx

LOL sorry but he needs to get a grip. Sounds like you have two children. I’d be inclined to drink the last one next time and eat all the crisps🐷☺️

His behaviour is ridiculous

This would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact men kill their partners for less, why are you with someone who treats you with this much contempt?

From my own experience this is more than snacks.. is he stressed with work, family or anything else? Who would throw a whole tantrum because of snacks??
Try talk to him on a more general level maybe he’s struggling with something?
Then find the right time to tell him how his actions have hurt you because this is a completely unacceptable behaviour
And don’t be so harsh on yourself, you got this

Slamming doors is abuse. You did nothing wrong. He is using DARVO on you! This is emotional manipulation!

I feel you...mine let's say won't slam the door, but he will give me a very nasty look from nothing actually, for example if I will ask him to follow my routine for daughter, he will start raising the voice that I put too much pressure on him, and he does just minimum, everything is on me....and I forgot to say, I have to say please every time I am asking for something...he makes me crying so often

This is psycho behaviour. He should go to the shop and get the bits he wants if there is none left. This is not a legit reason to be upset and slamming doors!

Really not cool on his part. I mean, if he had asked specifically for you to leave two cans, and for you to leave his favourite crisps, it might be worth him raising a conversation. But slamming doors and behaving like this is not okay. He's getting upset as though you're a room mate then flipping out like he's a toddler. X
And get this one. He said he was cooking tea. I decided to start my girls craft for her bday. He goes upstairs. I start to smell burning. I go to the pan. Burnt pan tea ruined. "You could of checked on it"
Oh so it's my fault now. Apparently it's common sense.
He normally sets timers when he is cooking. But again he now has abandoned tea. Never his fault for going upstairs and leaving it!!! Gone to sit upstairs for the night now.
So now I'm making tea for little one late.
Sick to death of being blamed for absolutely everything. Honestly there's always always an issue
It's like he just can't wait to have a pop at me.
We have just been through 9 months of being homeless to get a council house. I can't go through it all again. So frustrated and fed up.
