It’s VERY common that when people are too scared to speak up to strangers, work, etc, they take it out on their spouses and kids by yelling and cussing.

I would not tolerate him treating you or the kids that way. What do you do when he does that? If my H ever yelled at me or the kids I’d yell right back, and I’m a lot louder.

without commenting on the other impacts, which I believe you about , this is the stereotyical behavior of a lot of women without the likely excuses for socialization

Don’t put up with that shit.


This. You’re the only ones he actually feels power over. I would not tolerate that.

Things like this don’t personally affect me, so I stay quiet, but it’s such a turn off. I think it’s even more of a turn off because when it comes to me or the kids, he has NO issue speaking up for what he wants or expects, to include cussing and yelling. But he can’t say a peep to anyone else.

Just venting here.

Your husband yells and cusses at you and your kids, and punishes your kid for being socially anxious? Way to bury the lede. That’s your actual issue.

This seems like something you had to have known going into the marriage, so what changed that it’s so repulsive to you now? Or did he somehow pretend to assert himself while you were dating?

Also, people like him should just know themselves and decline to make body modifications like a tattoo. Why set yourself up for failure if you don’t have to? We all have our own personal limits.

Yep let's blame the DH. Mommy is perfect and DH is responsible with their kids social anxiety.

OP here. As I’m thinking, I think what also makes it worse is we have a child who is extremely socially anxious (which likely stems from DH) but DH will punish and be so upset with our child for underperforming in social settings, like sports games. It just seems so hypocritical.
