When my H came home last night with his friend he was very surprised to see me. As he did not want to make a scene in front of his friend he kept things to whispered insults. Then when it came time to go to bed he asked if I was leaving to go back to where I'd been staying.

Finally he realized I wasn't going to leave so he made plans to sleep on our bedroom floor instead of in bed with me (his friend was on our pullout couch.) After about 10 minutes he came over to me in bed and asked if I was really plannning on staying because if I did then our M was really over. He proceeded to lash out every nasty insult he could think of and said he was going to cut me off financially and I would never see him again. Once he finished he asked me "so what's your decision." I replied that I was tired and he should go to bed and we could talk about it in the morning.

Funny how another time it might have left me in tears but this time I had to keep myself from laughing. Yes he may cut me off financially and yes he may move out, but it felt so nice to be the one in control for a change.

In the end he slept in bed with me and I believe he was crying a little. I would like to think he was upset about us but I know it was probably tears about his failure to eject me from his life. Regardless, I was very worried I was going to cave and leave.

I don't think he's ever been so mad at me. This morning he made tea for his friend and himself and none for me. As mad as he has been in the past he has never not made me tea in the morning. Oh well.
