Falls out with his wife for no reason other than he is stressed and tired.

Doesn't speak or see her for 3 days. Goes to his mums.

Speaks to her when he's ready too. She cries because of how she's been treated. He ends things. He posts his keys to the house through the door.

The next day he says he wants to try again but his wife is still stuck feeling well and truly confused about everything. He doesn't apologise. She's not exactly jumping for joy and her wall is up. He senses this and gets offended.

He says cannot listen to anymore of her tears. This makes her angry. The tears are caused by him.

He ends things again.

She is me.

I'd call him a man about to receive divorce papers.

Narcissistic, controlling and emotionally avoidant?
I'm no expert, but that's what sprung to my mind. Perhaps others will have different views.
So sorry OP SadFlowers

This is a pretty good summary I'd say. It's exactly what came to my mind too.

I feel slightly better now. We've had a phone call where he was actually ok. I believe the marriage is actually over for him. He was ok and apologised for treating my badly over the years. It was just a 2 worded 'im sorry' and that was that. No idea if he felt he had to say it or if it was genuine. Either way it doesn't matter. He's said he is who he is.

But the positive is I haven't left that phone call thinking we need to get back together because he was quite nice to me. I know it's done. This is it this time. I'm not worrying he will be on to the next one treating her like a queen. This was always a huge thing for me. He will be straight onto the next relationship because that's what he does.

I'm ok. Might need some help for my wobbles though
