‘My husband is loving at times but his patience is thin - I’m worried for our son’
In Lalalaletmeexplain's hit column, readers ask for her expert advice on their own love, sex and relationship problems.
I wanted to be a mum and he agreed we could have one child but that it was my fault if it didn’t work out. Our son’s now two. Since he’s been born my husband has been hugely unsupportive. In the early weeks, he’d say: ‘That’s your job’, ‘He’s your project/hobby’, ‘You wanted a baby' or ‘I’m bored of looking after you’ and generally belittling and name-calling me. In response, I told him that this kind of talk needed to stop because our son would soon understand what he was saying.
If your husband were to go to a therapist, I’m sure they’d want to explore his relationship with his mother, his comments to you about sounding like her and his deep reluctance to become a parent may be indicators that he experienced toxic or abusive parenting himself. He felt forced into parenthood and he’s become increasingly angry and resentful towards the situation he feels you burdened him with.
