It's been a while since I've been here. Things are as always touch and go. One minute, we're doing really good, next minute, we're getting divorced. He did call my mom the other night (Tues) to tell her that he loved me but is done trying. He told her all kinds of complaints about me and basically that he's tried, I haven't and it's over. My mom of course told me this. My reaction? I'm OK. Whatever happens, I'll be OK. I don't want a divorce, but I also don't want my husband back the way he is...NO WAY! He's refused that he has a problem (namely, anger and controlling) or that he needs help of any kind. I'm over this. He showed me his anger again Monday night when he asked me to go to the store to pick up some things HE wants (the soda that only HE drinks, the cheese only HE likes, etc...) I kindly told him that I already went to the store the day before, and I was no longer shopping as if he still lives there...because he doesn't. No doubt his mother would be more than happy to stock her house with all of his favorite foods (OK I didn't say that part). But, I did tell him that I had already gone to the store and we had everything the kids and I need. He was mad about that, then we had a huge blowout about letting the baby cry (something I just can't do). He was standing between the babys door and me, and wouldn't let me past. I was crying, saying "please, let me comfort my son. Let me in there". I tried to duck past him and he grabbed my shirt, it tore, and I fell to the ground. He was angry, told me that I'm crazy, hysterical, off-balance, hormonal, not-right" This carried on for awhile, till I grabbed the phone, and said, "if you don't let me have my baby, I will call the police" (there goes your job, big boy). This was not an impulse reaction. I begged to get to the baby for the past 10min. All the while, he was physically restraining me so I couldn't get into the room. Not to mention, my poor baby was going to have surgery the next day, I wanted to comfort him, and be with him.
He wants a divorce? Well, I'd be more than happy for the controlling, angry person that my husband has become to be gone! More than happy!
