That's a bit about my situation.
Anyway, things aren't great at home. Husband becoming increasingly uncommunicative, detached, angry (there has been domestic violence and he now wants a divorce).
So, I was in bed by 8 tonight. Not really eating or sleeping properly. We have separate bedrooms (since May 2010. His choice). He hammered on my door at about 9 tonight, angry that I had gone to bed without telling him when he needed a needle and cotton from my sewing box. I asked him to go as I was sleeping. He was insistent. Told me he was going to knock again then enter. I reiterated that I was in bed and that it's my private space. He knocked and entered, switching on the bedroom light.
He started to root around for the sewing box. I asked him, again, to leave. He wouldn't. Then he found the sewing box and started to throw things on the floor that were on top of it. He grabbed it and I saw red. He was in my one and only place where I can relax and he had come in without invitation and woken me up.
I did something odd. It struck me that he hates me so much and is so repulsed by me that I could use it to my advantage. I stripped my pyjamas off and grabbed hold of the sewing box! It completely confused him. He fought me for the box for a bit then walked off and drove to our very local supermarket and bought some.
A totally liberating experience!
Do I need help or can anyone understand why I did it? By the way, I am 5 foot and very slim so he's not repulsed by my weight; just by me.
