I think my husband just threatened me

Me and my husband were having a silly argument about the strikes going on at the minute, it was barely even an argument when all of a sudden he stood up, said he was going but then came over to me holding his laptop up as if he was going to hit me with it and said “do you want me to hit you with this because I’m going to.”

The argument was silly, I didn’t even think it was that heated, it went from a discussion to him telling me to shut the fuck up when I tried to make one point, to him saying he was going to hit me with his laptop.

I didn’t say anything and then he sat back down and I came upstairs with the dogs.

This isn’t right, is it? Or am I overreacting? My heads a mess I don’t know what to think.

There's that familiar cycle again and just like with most, your opinion and views are not valid if they don't align. What seems miniscule to you is triggering for him, to the point he would threaten you.

Just like many others, myself included, it all blows over as if nothing ever happened and you are the one who's to blame or in a mood. Avoiding responsibility and passing it over to you.

You feel that tension in the moment and that's your fight or flight going off, will they do it. Mine ended up doing it and when they did, never spoke of it not even an apology.

He's a cunt.

Deep down you know this, right ?

I can't think of a more unsuitable weapon than a laptop. Do you really think he was going to hit you with it?
