If your husband screamed and shouted at you to do something, would you do it?

I don't even know how to word this.

I'll try my best.

Your husband/partner asks you to do something (something petty like turn off the PC) and you say no. He then shouts at you to do it. You say no. He then goes nuts and starts shouting and screaming in your face to turn it off and threatens you.

Would you
a) tell him to fuck off an ignore him
b) consider the possibilty that he may hit you and turn it off
c) turn it off straight away?

I'd

d) stew on it for about 2 yrs and try and look on the bright side, argue back, defend myself, but try to tell myself I'd made my bed and had to lie in it. Then one day, the bag would come off from over my eyes and I'd leave the bad tempered fekker, who'd be sorry by then.

I divorced my exh because he shouted and screamed at me, it was emotional abuse. When someone does that, they've lost their self control and it can be very hard for them to get it back.

However, if it was just one incident maybe he was in a bad mood about something (not that it's an excuse for his behaviour btw).
