I'd really appreciate some advice. My marriage has been in difficulties for some time, we've always had a volatile relationship with loads of furious rows. But in the last 24 hours things seem to have reached a new low and I think I need to draw a line under my husband's behaviour and maybe move out for a while with the kids.
Basically we have had a very row-ey day caused by some stress over our holiday plans. I called him outside to the garden because our neighbour who has a drink problem was effing and blinding and I wanted his input on how to deal with. Of course she stopped the minute he came out and he couldn't see what the problem was. He was trying to get to work and eventually said in a very arsey tone that he could stand round waiting for her to start up again or go to work and he knew what he was going to do.
I said that I found his approach completely unsupportive, he basically turned round and said :"who is the white trash, you or her?"
I just can't believe things have reached the point where he would say that. I basically forced him out of the front door (he was going to work anyway) and told him not to come back.
We are supposed to be going away for week's holiday in France on Friday. I'm really loath to cancel it but I think I need to make a stand about this.
Please advise. He has been under a lot of stress and I have been made redundant but this is just not alright.
