Sounds like you are going through the wringer at the moment. I had hopes for you a couple of months back but it sounds like your H is acting like a grumpy kid and leaving you with little respect for him. Well treat him like a grumpy kid - reward the good and ignore the bad. If he's bad walk away - that's what I mean by ignore it is not the same as overlook. It's a bit like a time out, except you remove yourself. Doing something good, however small, should get an instant reward of a kiss or hug or something like that. You handled the bathing thing well!
My H can get pretty angry with the kids for no real reason. It's just like he has such a short tether. He also makes it THEIR problem when he is too tired or has had a hard day. He says things like "look I just don't need this right now". They are 6 and 4 how are they meant to relate?
Weird part is H is the LD one in this R
