Husband

I feel like my husband so easily flies off the handle over the smallest thing. I spent my Sunday cleaning the house whilst he was gardening when he came in for lunch he started complaining his pasta was cold. He was shouting about it and I asked him to calm down and calmly told him he really needed to speak properly to me and stop being so agressive. he came back into the dining room and put the plate right up to my face and said I was accusing him of lying that the pasta was cold !!! I’m just so tired of these episodes.

💐 for you. This behaviour is horrible, OP. You don’t have to live this way. There is a brighter future for you without him in it. Might not seen that way right now, granted; but it’s there, waiting for you.

He's abusive.

Are there kids in the home too?

You are mad to live this way. Who does your husband think he is, and why are you tolerating this?

Tell this abusive prick to fuck off, get a solicitor, and set yourself free from this abuse. Nothing about his behaviour is normal or acceptable.

OP, this aggressive bully has been physically/emotionally/financially abusing you.

You’ve written several threads recently detailing your H’s abuse:
*He hit you very hard on your lower back while you were lying in bed on your side. You cried in pain and shock, and went to sleep downstairs. You were still sore the next day when he texted an apology. That wasn’t the first time he’s punched your back. He has also pressed down on your hand so hard when trying to grab your keys that a doctor put a splint on it.

*When your mother won the lottery and gave you £3000, he took all but £300 without your consent to plow into his failing business. You had earmarked the money for other things and had no clue he’d taken it. He was totally unapologetic.

*Your H’s colleague has advertised his new business on FB. Both you and H reposted this to help him, and a friend contacted you about it. You then messaged H’s colleague to give him a
heads-up that your friend would be contacting him. H was furious that you’d messaged his colleague without his permission, and accused you of having an affair with him. Most posters assumed that H was the one having an affair or planning to.

*His shouting and shoving the plate of pasta up to your face is one more example of his contemptuous bullying.

You’ve said that H can also be a charmer, which is so typical of narcissistic abusers.

You and the children are living in a physical and emotional minefield, and they will be damaged by this toxic environment and poor relationship model. It’s likely not a coincidence that your teenage son has participated in bullying a girl and has shown little empathy for her, even though your younger child has been the victim of bullying.

You feel stuck because you’re in a different country, away from your UK family, and can’t legally take the children back to the UK. You also fear financial vulnerability. Can you access support in your country to enable you to separate? Have you sought counseling to clarify your thoughts or contacted a solicitor to investigate your options?

I sincerely hope you can find a way to break away. Flowers

It’s really hard as I live in another country not much of a support system. I’m scared of how I would cope financially if I left and feel stuck in a rut. There are calm periods and then episodes like these.

You need to get out. What country do you live in? Do you have family in the UK?
