[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it now. He can admit no fault, and nothing I say will change that. But, I need it. I need him to acknowledge my feelings are valid. Staying with my parents for awhile. I am not sure I can go back home and deal with this issue. We have a toddler, who is with me.

Can I successfully live in a situation where my partner never admits fault and I am the ass for bringing up when DH does anything that upsets me? [b]How do I live in a situation where he is allowed to do anything he wants and I am not allowed to be upset about anything[/b]?[/quote]

Consciously or not he is setting you up to live in this situation and it is a manipulation.  You do have a right to be annoyed by a child on a counter getting burned by toaster and ant poison in the sink she uses.  These are things a thoughtful person would have avoided.  And while he won't do these exact things again, there will be other thoughtless things.  But the situation your husband has set up makes it impossible for you to say anything.

YOU are the one walking on eggshells.  Is he worried about the next stupid thing he might do because he refuses to pay attention, or worried about hurting your feelings with his childish response the next time you say something?  No, he's not.

Look back on some of the marriage counseling threads before you pin all your hopes on that.  If you can both go to individual therapists, that may be the way to go.

The crappiest part of the whole thing is, as a pp mentioned, that in a divorce your dd will be alone with him at least part of the time and you will be constantly worried about what's going on, not to mention, missing your daughter.[/quote]
