DH broke my ankle last weekend.
He launched at attack on me as he thought I'd said something derogatory about a close family member who had just died - I hadn't.
Whilst trying to wrestle me to the sofa he accidentally broke my ankle. When he called the ambulance he told them he'd shoved me so the police came.
As the incident was both an accident and the result of a misunderstanding I didn't press charges.
Since then he goes through periods of remorse, misery and anger. Yesterday I suggested counselling in the morning but he felt there was no point, he took his wedding ring off, putting it back on later.
He then reverted to apologetic but this morning has gone back to it's all over.
He has just verbally threatened me again, whilst waving one of my crutches at me but has now gone back to bed.
I feel very vulnerable at the moment and he's very emotionally labile. If we are going to split up should I be pressing assault charges? I've told everyone it was an accident.
We've been married for over 20 years and have 2 DCs, part of me wants to try and make a go of it, I think we do still love each other but part of me wants to hop for the hills.
