Jo, Thanks for filling us in. I am really glad that there was no physical abuse. I, for one, make a distinction between punching a door and punching a person. While both behaviors are unacceptable, they are not the same. Although acts of violence, whether to person or object, are intimidating and shouldn't be condoned, I consider violence towards people a much worse offense. So your message contain information that helps to explain your situation. Thanks.
Secondly, your response sounds great. I hope he does what it take to win you over and turn your marriage around. You deserve it. Please let us know how things go for you. Michele
