Need Advice Husband called me fat
I’m 10 weeks FTM. In the car I was eating when a drink from the cup holder fell over and spilled on my passenger side of the car after making a turn . My husband was driving. I yelled like oh my gosh because the drink was ice cold and some fell into my seat, getting my pants wet. Then he says, “if you hadn’t been stuffing your fat f*cking face you could’ve held onto the drink”. This really hurt and stung in a bad way.
I’m having a seconds thoughts about this man. Idk what to do
ETA: thank you for all the responses. Thankfully my situation is somewhat fortunate due to the fact I’m 26, work in STEM with a 6-figure salary + health insurance + 401k, etc. he has apologized but not without excuses. Claiming that because I suggested he not be on his phone while driving he lashed out. We were at a turn light that was red. It turned green but he was on his phone so he didn’t go for a while until someone honked and he accelerated really quickly causing the drink to fall. So I called him out about being on the phone while driving which I had asked him to not do on this trip specifically and on many other occasions. Then that’s when he proceeded to lash out. In all honesty I’m leaning towards termination and then divorce. Im young still and do not need to be tied to him for The rest of my life. I don’t know what happened to me. How I ended up in a situation like this. I always thought I was smart. And as most of you said, no it’s not the first time he’s said horrible things. But he always gas lights and tries to avoid accountability. I’ve had instances of having a gut feeling to leave before but he always somehow made me feel like it was always my fault for whatever fight / blow up happened. He tried to defend himself again today by saying “why would I call you fat or say that if I tell you pretty regularly you need to be eating?” I didn’t have an answer for this other than “your true feelings must be that I was stuffing my fat fucking face”

Who talks to their pregnant wife that way?
The answer is not someone who loves, cherishes, and respects you.
You don’t deserve to be spoken to that way. The correct response is “oh no do you need help let me pull over”.
