And absolutely deading it and seriously considering not going!

We've been in a rough patch for a while although have been getting better for a few weeks.

We have a childfree trip with some friends planned this weekend (DC are 9 and 4 and a combination of grand parents are having them so I appreciate how lucky we are on that front)

However today I have been shouted at, called names (including an idiot/thick and a few others I can't repeat) all because I;

Finished work later than he wanted me to (I finish at 5 but had started work earlier so logged off at 430 - that was too late apparently)

Didn't know he wanted to take his keys when we walked to go and pick up the children as he wanted to gey something out of his car, so when I said I had mine apparently that was me being aggressive

Dared to shower one child and have the other waiting while I dried the first ones hair rather than let them shower alone

Shouted in my face when I dared ro argue that all I had said about the keys was that I already had mine, he could have explained why he wanted to take his, apparently I shouldn't queation what he wants to do

I am literally dreading going tomorrow and am currently thinking of excuses why I don't go!

Tell him to go on his own and then change the locks whilst he’s away. This isn’t normal, he’s an abusive dick.

Is this normal for him?

Are you always walking on eggshells?

Has he acknowledged there's a problem?

What's your financial status? How easy will it be for you to extricate yourself?

Just tell him you aren't going and he bloody knows why. Then spend your weekend without him researching how much better your life would be without a shouty wanker in it.

Shouted in my face

Tell him you have a migraine/diarrhea/and attack of gout/anything, don't go and spend the time getting your ducks in a row. See a lawyer, get all the financial information you can and contact Women's Aid, for a start.

You don’t need an excuse. Tell him he’s a nasty bully and you’re not putting on a show for a whole weekend so people think he’s a decent human being. Tell friends you’re ill or that your husband is a nasty bully and you can’t face it. Call a lawyer in the morning.

Yanbu and frankly the only place I would be going is to see a good divorce lawyer!

Please don’t go, he sounds absolute nightmare. So sorry you’re in this situation.
