He has form for going into a major sulk whenever he suspects I'm trying desperately to make the day go alright. emotionally abusive
Just had yet another year of him - not joining in, sulking, moaning, going into silent mode.
This was my Christmas day.
This year I AM going to leave him.

He will be really nice now, probably become Mr Festive overnight, the trick is not to forget how he has behaved. You deserve better and so do your children. Keep a diary so that you can see the pattern of behaviour. If abusive men were abusive all the time then no one would stay with them.

The sticking point may be that splitting up does not guarantee you will get lovely Christmases or other events on your own with DC. He may decide to fight you for Christmas etc with the DC - either because being on his own may genuinely change his attitude or just to spite you. So I would hesitate to split over this if he is fine in other ways.

Spend Xmas without him. Take the kids and go to your parents/friends ' house. Tell him why. Hopefully you're still readying it three months before
