I honestly wonder where the good men are. Mine has been a beast this weekend but when I try to say ‘that behaviour was inappropriate’ he twists it back at me and won’t hear it. E.g. walking off in a strop on arrival into London, saying he was going off to the pub and not going to theatre with me or my DS’s, after being furious youngest wouldn’t listen to him about not bringing a bag with him. DD1 has anxiety so for him to do that was unforgivable. He stomped off and then finally after feeling like we’d all been punished enough, settled down and we went for food and to theatre together.
But we live in fear of his next outburst. It’s quite common for him to walk off like this and behave erratically putting us all down and then blowing up and then acting like nothing happened afterwards and when challenged, he is never in the wrong.
And then I come on here and read about more horrid men. Tell me, what does actual married happiness look like?!!
