To want to leave the house on Xmas day

[Grinchfeels]

DH started an argument with me this morning.
It started as something trivial and escalated and finished with him saying we need to talk after today about whether we have a break.

DS was still in bed but is awake now and my eyes are red raw after crying and struggling to stay happy whilst he opens his presents.
All I want to do is walk out of the door, on my own and drive somewhere quiet for a good cry on my own.
Things haven’t been great for a while admittedly , only had sex once this year as DH has had impotence issues but refuses to see a doctor or therapist.
I want to run away.

Why not agree with him, park it until new year and then go and see a solicitor?

Nothing wrong with going out for a walk or a drive for an hour to clear your head.

Big hugs to you x

He can't expect to drop a bombshell like that and expect you to just keep calm and carry on.

Tell him you need space to process what he just said and get the hell out of there for a while.

Go for that walk xx

I’ve booked a hotel for tomorrow night for some headspace. He can look after ds for a couple of days. We were supposed to visit his parents but I’m not going. He can go with ds and tell them whatever he wants.

Sending hugs and hope you get a good resolution. Good on you for booking the hotel. The space will do you good. However, don't be like me. I booked a hotel room to get away from the b*ard but missed my child too much, so went back home for child, and took child back to hotel with me. It defeated the whole objective of having space to process things.

Aww op

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I wish I could give you a hug x

Go for a walk yourself. Glad you aren't going to his parents faking happy families.

How old is DS?

He’s 8 and very clingy with his dad so he’ll be happy to go with his to see DH parents tomorrow without me.

Thinking of you. Take some nice treats with u.spend time thinking about you want from.the relationship. Is it possible your husband is angry about his impotence issues and wrongly transferring this anger to u? You both need a frank no holds discussion to decide what you want. Take care.
