Rude husband - awful role model

10 replies

Lauren1987sb · 20/04/2024 17:27

So my husband has always had a bit of a temper, easily agitated but it seems to of gotten worse (actually pucking arguments with strangers, me and the children rather than just a moan) as he is getting older to the point he says things I find myself becoming ill with stress.

To infront of our children say to old people disembarking an airoplane "sit down and wait your turn" then argue with the elderly lady that she is rude from the plane to the baggage handling and tell me he is in the right because she is rude.

I have been trying to divorce him as in suggesting this for some time which has been hard, historically met with threats of suicide and immense kicking off.

The point of the post I guess looking for some experience in roadmap forward.

He has not put forward financial disclosure, solicitor recommending mediation, currently suggesting he will go to therapy ( hopefully next two weeks)

Children 7 and 10. At the end of my tether as awful role modelling occuring.

Thanks for getting this far and pleaee be kind x

shrug whenever he says this

your concern needs to be your children and yourself

not him

this sounds like a ghastly place to grow up as a result of him op

skipit8103 · 20/04/2024 17:29

why do you care if he goes to therapy op??!

focus on the divorce squarely

yes. it that can be your focus after you have sorted the very very serious immediate issue - divorce

This is the man you children are learning about relationships from. It's how your sons will act, and what your daughters will expect.

What's he like with men similar size/fitness/bigger than him?

Interesting point however I dont have one of them. Focus is getting out current situation. Solicitor, family, therapist do not fit that type.

Looking for positive vibes way forward.

Maybe the Solicitor mediator will hold that build thanks
