We have been out to a parent and baby's social event. My "d"h didn't want to go. On the way home he was extremely rude and scathing of another couple who were driving home the 800 yards from the neighbours home to theirs because they had been drinking. I do not approve of that at all of course but it was literally a 2 minute drive... Anyway.... my DH has had a conviction for drunk driving, and at one point in our relationship was arrested because I begged him not to drive me home and he ended up trying to drag me into his car and throttle me on the grass next to the car park when I refused to get in (this was 4 years ago). So I basically said the equivalent of "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". And he went mental. Said he wanted to "wipe that smug look off my face" that I was a "cunt" and is still sulking.

I'm just wondering how many "leave the bastard"s I am going to get just from this post...

  1. You wouldn't have threatened to 'wipe the smile' off a man's face if he'd made the same comment because like the vast majority of violent arseholes, you are really a coward at heart.

Actually he probably would. He is an equal opportunities asshole when irritated

Do you have policemen where you live?

Had to smile a little at "equal opportunities asshole". There's a very witty, bright woman in there somewhere and I think she should be given a chance to blossom away from fear and misplaced shame.

Yes. We have policemen. Who are guided by the rule that if you have a Koran under your arm you can flog your wife and it falls under "reasonable chastisement"
