[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here with go with the typical DCUM hypocrisy, OP. If your husband had put his hands on you and you asked him to remove them and he didn't wouldn't you be upset? Half of DCUM would consider that abuse. How is it even a question whether or not you did something wrong there?[/quote]

+1 In addition, half of DCUM is staunchly against forcing any kind of physical touch with kids (i.e. grandma's hugs, grandpa's kisses, etc.) so if your kid tells you not to touch him you should take heed.[/quote]

100% this.

I don't view your DH's rubbing DS's back as giving into the manipulation for the purpose of throwing it in your face or anything. I sort of am guessing he gave in and did it because everyone was losing their minds and he figured it would get DS to chill out. Instead, you escalated it worse. [/quote]

The issue is not husband's rubbing the neck but his totally insane comment to his wife.[/quote]

There are two issues here: how OP is relating to her kid, which is childish and needs to change, and how OP's husband reacted to being touched by her, which is batshit crazy.

This is some normal parenting stuff (child showing preference for dad, possibly hurting mom's feelings) that's setting off what appear to be pretty serious fault lines in the existing marriage.  Get thee to a counselor, OP.[/quote]
