[quote=Anonymous]PP here - just read your follow-up.

Please do NOT let him get away with treating you this badly, it will only get worse if you retreat in silence.
Hopefully this is a one-off, however...

You must tell him, tonight or tomorrow, that respect is the basis of all positive communication, and that you cannot live happily with him if he continues to disrespect you.

Do not lift a finger for him until he comes to his senses. Do not go on as if nothing has happened. Remind him once every day that you are waiting for an apology for his rant. You can start by apologizing to him for losing your temper, because you did, even though it was under provocation.

I've been there, OP, and it sucks. Early years of parenting can be tough.
Finally I figured out that I had to stand my ground in a very dignified way. Willpower is key - you have to be stronger than him. Time is even more important. Time will show your husband what you have accomplished with your child. How polite and clever and well-read she is (or whatever floats his and your boat!). It's only after DC1 entered K that DH finally acknowledged how much work I had put into his early years - he has special needs, and needed so much therapy as a baby. Now DH sings my praises to his mother on the phone - hard to believe after the rocky years we had!

Stay strong.[/quote]
