Is this verbal abuse?

My husband and I have been fighting non stop over stupid things.

Well today I said I need you to start helping more with the baby. His response was shut the fuck up so I can sleep.

I said excuse who the fuck do you think you're talking to like that. Don't sit there and verbally abuse me because that shit isn't going to fly with me.

Now he is staying far away. If I walk in room he walks out. 😩
