AIO for not trusting my husband anymore
I’m not even sure where to start. My husband has been very vocal about wanting to own guns. I used to be more open about them than I am now (we live in the U.S. and the increased number of school shootings has really turned me off to them). About a year ago, my husband expressed interest in getting his license to carry. I said I didn’t love the idea of guns in the house with 2 young children. At the time I was newly pregnant with our second child and our other child was just over a year old. Not too long after that discussion, I found out he obtained his license to carry. I told him I really didn’t feel comfortable with guns in the house and that I felt like this was a decision where both people need to be on board. He said he would always be safe with them. I told him we could discuss further if he could keep the chemicals under the sink locked up from our toddler for a year…he consistently forgets to latch the cabinet where we keep cleaning supplies. Thankfully she keeps him aware by saying “uh oh” if it’s not latched and she’s generally not interested in them. Since that discussion, the longest he’s consistently kept them locked up as been 1 week. Fast forward to recently…I use the bathroom and found a gun sitting on the side of our bathtub. I was completely alarmed because WTF. I was sick to my stomach. I had no idea there were guns in the house and the lack of concern for safety by my husband, the gun owner, was…appalling. Our toddler could have easily gotten a hold of it if she saw it first. My husband justified the mishap by explaining that the gun wasn’t loaded and it would take a lot of force to pull the trigger. I told him I don’t trust him anymore. He said I was overreacting and spit out a bunch of justifications for the situation.
Internet strangers, AIO?
