So I am (35F) married to 38M. We have a 8 months old baby who recently started crawling. We generally put a pillow beside him when he is sleeping and I did the same today. However he fell from the bed while we were not around. My husband started shouting at me for not making a circle of pillow around him since apparantly he crawled past the pillow and fell. I did put the baby in the farthest away from the open end of the bed and put a pillow so he doesn’t move towards that direction. I refuse to take the blame for this incident and it felt horrible to be shouted at when my heart was breaking into a thousand pieces seeing my baby cry.

My baby is absolutely fine and was playing and laughing almost immediately.

AITAH for not taking accountability for an accident? Also advice needed - he always blames me for any such instances, sometimes it’s my fault, many many times it isn’t. He is not open to criticism or conversation and will quickly turn it on me. So I don’t contradict him too much to maintain my peace of mind Divorce is not an option for me due to various reasons. I am not dependant on him financially though.
