So been married for little over a year now and all of a sudden my husband is threatening me with divorce because I told him I was sick of hearing my daughter cry every time he gave her a bath. So he starts complaining that he left her to adjust her bath temperature so it wasn't his fault that that the bath water was cold, and was also calling her a big baby because she was whining because the water was cold because she didn't fix the water temperature. So he started adding hot water to "adjusts the temperature but didn't stir the bath to prevent hot spots so now she's crying about that.
I end up kicking him out of the bathroom and he's fuming about that saying that I shouldn't be telling him how to do his "chore" since I never do it. (I couldn't do it when I was pregnant because the room would become so humid I couldn't breathe and I haven't done it since giving birth because I'm usually feeding the baby around bath time). After the bath is done I go downstairs to find my purse on the floor so I ask why the purse is on the floor. Apparently it's because my daughter freaked out about bats in the basement so she blocked the bottom of the door. I then ask why she was freaking out about bats in the basement only for him to ignore me until I repeat the question angrily where I get a lame excuse about the door opening and her freaking out. So I ask if he calmed her down and told her there were no bats in the basement. And I'm still waiting on an answer. Ugh I'm so sick of this!
@patti28, it just gets so irritating. It's common sense things, my family even comments on the fact I have to paint extravagant pictures for him to understand simple things.
🙄😒 sounds like there is more going on in his brain, if he thinks taking care of his daughter is a chore... and then half asses it! 😒 and if he thinks a disagreement about his lame attempt at bathing is grounds for divorce! 🙄 he's got much bigger issues!
Men get really upset when they feel immaculated. Insulting them, making them feel incompetent, etc. He is her father, and he's being told what he's doing as a father is wrong. That's probably why. It's a sore spot for men.
Good luck mama!
Right? His comment back was that it's something he has to do henceforth it's a chore
He's got more of an insecurity problem. Most of our higher fights he says he's scared that I'm going to leave him for someone else. And he thinks I don't love him anymore since we haven't had sex since I gave birth. It's honestly the farthest thing from my mind.
