LadyJane this is good news though. He's taking a reality hit and he's a bit off his game now ya?
Good good good.
He will backpeddal, let him go all he wants... Let him take his pokes and jabs. If he is downright mean just put your hand up and walk away. Tell him you are his wife and deserve respect. Then walk away cause he's not gonna give you any. It's effectively a time out for him.
Keep planning those reality jolts... they can work wonders if you have his family pressuring him hard enough.
