I just threw my husband out - I don't know what happened

I need to talk to someone who doesn't know us.

My husband works away a lot & was away all last week, got home last night.

He was a dick last night when we were discussing things that I feel strongly about & he admitted he was playing 'devil's advocate' and usually does. Whatever. I just wanted to talk because I missed him & having someone to talk to. It just turns into him making me feel like an idiot and having an argument.

Today I asked him to clear up after himself (and the children when he's with them) because things are everywhere as we're having work done & it can get out of control very quickly. He said he was going to do it. He didn't. So I did. I asked him to clear up after himself in the future again & he wasn't happy I'd said it again. He then tidied the bedroom & cleaned the kitchen but continued to be horrible to me.

We've argued all day & I can't stand it. He then said he was taking the kids out. Wouldn't tell me where. I didn't want him to but he was doing it to piss me off. I can't communicate with him & he makes me really angry. It isn't fair on DC for us to be arguing all the time.

I told him to leavet, he took a bag. I have never done that before. I don't really know what's going on. I just need to try to understand how I feel. He doesn't have any friends or family nearby so I don't know where he will go but I don't want him to come back because he still won't accept responsibility for anything & will be getting angrier & angrier. Except I do want him to come home because DC will be upset & he's away again next week so won't see them.

I threw him out because we are always arguing. I get angry and I don't want that around DC. I have never done it before.

I didn't throw him out because of the way he discusses things, that happened last night & ruined our evening together & I was disappointed, that's all.

He didn't miss clues, I was very clear (as always) what I was unhappy about & I felt (as always) that he doesn't support me or try to minimise my workload or even make life a little bit more pleasant for me. He doesn't. Ever. We're always at odds.

He doesn't like doing what I ask, it's like he won't lower himself. If he does it's as if I've won & he can't have that. That's what today was all about.

We've been together 15 years & neither of us knew he had Asperger's until DS was being assessed then everything fell into place. But it's fine, I'm not dealing with an Aspie, I'm dealing with a person who I know very well.

You don't get to 'throw' your spouse out, OP, not for that. What did your children think? You can also stop arguing yourself; he can't argue alone.

You were disappointed and threw him out. That was a huge overreaction and you were also at fault. You both need to look at what happened, discuss it calmly and work out how to prevent it happening again. If you can't then look at your options to separate and both get legal advice to do that.
