Angry husband in Lockdown

So yesterday it all kicked off. I've been trying to avoid him due to him shouting at me in front of our daughter for being upset over something.

He was angry with me for not making up with him all day yesterday (I was being perfectly civil, but am frankly fed up of being shouted at, so didn't feel the love funnily enough).

I was in the kitchen heating up a cup of coffee (yet again) and he was annoyed I was in there while he was trying to do something. Barged past me, opened the fridge door on my arm and the shut the door on my elbow a couple of times. I had tried to keep calm, but I have to say I lost my rag at this, to which he told me I had moved into the way to prove a point... I disagreed and he told me to f off or get f**, or some such delight, with our daughter around.

Thankfully he went out into the garden for the rest of the evening, so I could avoid him as I'm just exhausted by this. I have told him I want a divorce, which I don't think he seems to take seriously.

He knew he was in the wrong because he sent a 'will sorry make any difference' message later on in the evening. And 'shall we just put this down to stress'. Although he still says I purposely move in his way. He has accused me of this before when he had barged me and is so persuasive, I start to doubt myself, but I know for a fact I didn't yesterday.

This morning he is now cross with me for not making up enough. Again. I am being civil and polite for the sake of our daughter, but he is accusing me of continuing the argument by not making up properly and saying I will just treat him badly all day and make his day miserable. He is saying everything has to be on my terms, which is just not true.

I'm writing this because my thoughts get so muddled sometimes, and I want to see this clearly, and know and remember that this small snippet of the rubbish that is my life at the moment, is not imagined and not right.

Shutting your arm in the fridge is domestic violence and no you weren’t responsible and no you shouldn’t make up. Tell him that he hurt your arm deliberately and you think it would show maturity on his part to give you space right now as you can’t bear to be near him. You don’t have to put up with this.

I second calling 101. He’s emotionally and physically abusing you and it appears he’s upping the ante.
