I think the puppy senses your stress. 1st was it your idea to get the new pup? If it was you shouldn't be mad at your hubby. I adopted my Yorkie Peanut at 7 months. He was not potty trained. My other 2 were and the female had regressed since Peanut will sometimes go in the house. You need patience and understanding. 5 months is a baby. I have 3 babies and they have always gotten along since I let them decide who is going to be the alpha. That is how they work it out in the street and the wild and that is how it works in my house. They do know I am the ultimate Alpha and they all run for cover when they know I am mad. I walk all 3 together without a problem this actually helps since they copy each other and know what is expected of them to do outside. Peanut is still not totally potty trained but I am patient and dedicated he has to learn. Crating him is a good idea since it teached them to hold thier bladder a little longer. Good luck with him.
Oh and he has all his baby teeth except 2 and has 3 new adult teeth so I will have them pulled when he is neutered.
