Easily offended partner is this normal ?
So our baby 11 months almost choked on a bit of food she found. My partner started to put his fingers down her throat . And I panicked in the moment and said that is not safe to put your fingers down her throat . It can make it worse .
He then got really upset. Telling me things like “you always criticise me, there is always negative feed back , clearly I can’t parent, so you can do it alone “
I’m just tired and don’t understand. If I did put my daughter in danger and he noticed I rather him educate me. I wouldn’t be upset .
He isn’t speaking to me now 😩
Anyone else’s partner also sensitive to negative feedback? What do you do? Do we just suck it up and won’t share anything

Were you at my house? 🤣 My husband is exactly like this.
The “so you can do it alone” ending is actually abusive behaviour. That’s not nice at all.
My partner can be this way but he would never ever say that… x
Yeah the “he’s not talking to me now” sounds silent treatment and the “you can do it alone” sounds like a threat. If this is a normal interaction for you this sounds abusive as someone before me said, neither of your two real poll options seem accurate to this situation
It sounds like he panicked and then is beating himself up to me, his instinct is just defensive.
Super depends on my delivery.
Sometimes he gets offended sometimes he takes it well.
I never feel the need to think about my delivery before hand, but if I see him bothered by my delivery I explain why my tone sounded outta wack & we end in a place of understanding
Maybe he took it that way cos he was panicking. You were both panicking and that can sometimes make one person sound snappy and one person react badly. I don't think you were unreasonable. I agree that I'd take any safety advice but not everyone is like that.
