Sorry for the long post, I just need to get things off my chest and clarify a few things.
My DH has a high paid job but classed as self employed. He’s always been the main breadwinner. I’ve always worked part time or been self employed part time as I do all the child care, errands, house work, cooking, cleaning etc, he often works away or goes abroad so I’ve always worked around my children. DH has an easy life, loves his job, comes home to a meal ready everyday. Doesn’t don’t domestic chores really.
Anyway, despite earning a good amount of money he’s always moaning about money, being ripped off, the cost of anything and is tight. Anything I spend comes up on a notification on his phone. Anyway to cut a long story short I discovered some debt he has and loan, credit card which he hasn’t told me about and when I questioned him he lied again but then eventually went crazy saying it was all my fault he’s not millionaire, I’ve never worked full time, all I do is spend his money. Anyway he was very very nasty. He has been very nasty before when we fall out. He got worse and worse, swearing, shouting and he’s always telling me if we fall out to leave the home, he’s not leaving, he won’t pay me a penny, he will go to prison if he has to, and he’s not leaving. He then started to scream in my face ‘if you don’t leave this house I will fuckin murder you!! I will murder you and put you in a box!!’ My 15 DS at this point was comforting me as I was understandably upset and scared, and DS had to tell him to leave me alone and shove him away. DS was visibly angry and upset. I left the house and went to my mums, when he apparently shouted at DS for defending me and then burst into tears. DS if off school today as he’s struggling with the stress of it and emotions.
Anyway now DH is blaming stress saying he may not have a job in Jan, he’s not apologised to me, I’ve told him I want a divorce but he’s said ‘I have more things to worry about!’
He seems to not be bothered and think because he’s stressed it’s ok??
I’m very confused, heartbroke, it’s not out of character him being aggressive but this was something else. I can’t forgive him for upsetting my DS l. DD10 was also home but she doesn’t seem as affected than my DS.
I worry now about finances, our home, splitting before Christmas, the children. I love him but I can’t forgive what he’s done. There’s the hidden debt, lies, aggression, threats. I’ve thought ‘is this my fault??’ Because I bought it up. His mother seems to think it’s ok and I knew he was highly strung when I married him. She doesn’t know about debt and he threatened to murder me though!
Just need some words of advice, encouragement, anything really as my mind is all over the place!
