AITAH for not lying to my parents about my bf’s behaviour
I (23f) made a few posts on here about my bf (27m) a couple months ago. I got back together with him. His mom and family were just making me feel so guilty. So I did for the sake of our baby. I figured if we were happy then I could forget everything that happened. We moved into the new house, we were so good for the first few weeks. My parents go on a cruise for a month every February for my moms birthday, they wasn’t gonna go but i felt like we was in such a good place that i said I’d be ok and told them to go. I started having brunch with my girls once a week again but one week it was dinner to fit everyone’s schedule. He found out one of my friends who he doesn’t like was there and locked me out of the house. I slept in my car. When I confronted him at first he said it’s because it was late he thought I was staying at a friends (i think it was around 10:30 that I got back) but one of my friends said that he watched her instagram story and I asked him again and that’s when he said he doesn’t like me hanging out with someone who doesn’t respect him and apologised saying he wouldn’t do it again. I decided when our son turned 10 months that I was ready to go back to work part time, we have an onsite day care and I’d only be in the office 2 days a week and wfh one day. I told him about my plan and he didn’t like it but I stood my ground. He just made it so difficult to be in the office, so I started working from home 2 days a week but then he would go out and leave me while I’m working with our crawling baby so that became basically impossible. I said that I needed to work to pay my half of the mortgage and so the compromise was that his mom would watch our son on the days I was working.
Him and his mom started saying how I don’t take care of the house and our son well enough because I’m working and going out his mom said how her kids and husband were her only priority’s and that’s how I needed to be if I wanted to be a good mom. I met his grandma for the first time and she tripped on a toy car that I forgot to pick up, she was fine, she didn’t fall or hurt herself but it did scare us. That night he got physical for the first time which I understood because his grandmother’s 89 and it could’ve been really serious. We would be good and then I’d forget to do something or just ruin the mood by accident and I’ll try not too but it’s like I keep fucking up. My parents have been wanting to ft but I would always air their calls and just send videos of the baby instead but my mom called me today while I was working and I answered forgetting my cheek was a bit bruised and i ended just telling her everything and they’re flying back tomorrow. My bf’s mom heard me otp and cussed me out she basically said that my relationship should be private and that it’s no one’s business what me and my bf do. I feel like I’ve fucked up.
