[quote=Anonymous]Yesterday, our 7-year-old spilled water all over a table covered with books and papers and just stood there looking at it, making no effort to clean it up. I said, “what are you doing?  Why are you not doing anything to clean this up?”  My husband, who was standing there while all this happening, told me to “just leave him alone.”  I said “this is between DS and me, please stay out of it.”  My husband stomped off and hasn’t spoken to me since. We had people over last night, and he ignored me the entire time other than the bare minimum amount of communication necessary for it not to be extraordinarily awkward in front of our guests. I tried to talk to him shortly after he stormed out of the room when the incident first happened, saying that I didn’t understand the force of his reaction and he said a lot of things but mainly that he didn’t care if I understood and that I wasn’t going to “make this about him.”

I know that I Sometimes snap at the kids, but I don’t yell or call names and I love those kids more than anything and make sure they know it. My husband loses his patience with them too, just like all normal parents do, but I feel like he holds me to an impossible standard. Yesterday, he said I treat them terribly and he can’t watch it. I honestly have no idea what he’s talking about. I would never involve the kids by asking them, but I know they don’t believe that I treat them terribly. I’m so hurt. My husband still isn’t talking to me.

I feel like I’m losing my mind. I’m sorry for the disjointed and stream of consciousness post. I don’t want to get a divorce and split up my family, but I feel like I’m married to someone who actively dislikes me. [/quote]
