"Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick"

[GoatGal]

I'm hiding out upstairs and H is in the basement, slamming doors and banging things around.
For the first time in my M I fear being around him because he now likes to use me as a target for his angry remarks.

He did when he was with OW too, but then I was only mad and hurt, not afraid of what he might do. This is a new thing and I don't like it.
It *seems* as though reality is sinking in and HE DOESN'T LIKE IT.
NOT ONE BIT!!!

Oh, how far down the rabbit hole we have fallen!

I figured out (yes, little old me) that it was NOT the dehumidifier leaking all over the basement, it was the new AC unit.

The same unit I told him needed service two weeks ago and he was too busy to do so. (He fancies himself a DIY guy but HVAC is new to him.)

He is furious down there. I'm curious to see if he tries to somehow make it my fault.

I did text him "Staying out of your way, but let me know if you need anything."

I'm just STFU and letting him be angry at himself for screwing this up too.

If I engage, even to help, I don't think he'll be all warm and fuzzy towards me.

*sigh*.
