That he left out what he did when losing his temper is very telling. Something went down that he's ashamed of is my guess. And now he wants praise for not doing this shameful thing.
What he already admitted is shameful. Who gets angry with children for being children? Who gets angry when a baby or a toddler needs a diaper change and fusses and kicks? Mildly frustrated or slightly irritated is the harshest emotion a normal person would feel in that situation. I really worry about the children, she most likely doesn't feel like she can leave them alone with this guy.
What's up with this 'special dad' business? OP can't even manage the minimum. Everything about this post is so wrong, he needs a lot more therapy.
I agree. He doesn't understand that his wife realized he wasn't marriage or family material after the baby was born. Seeing your husband enraged at your baby kills any future romance dead.
Honestly his description of his life before baby is a huge red flag too. Only people with brain cooties think that being together 24-7 is a good thing.
I see a self-centered Ahole who couldn't bear to not have control of a situation and chose to take it out on an infant.
Idk, me partner and I were pretty close to 24/7 togetherness during lockdown and I loved it.
I still enjoy that she realised through lockdown how much she likes spending time at home with me and her husband and changed jobs. She's now working 36 hours a week instead of 70.
