Last night he showed his true colors. We had a fight about the STUPIDEST thing and it escalated into this huge blowout. He was rude and insulted me and said all this crap and I had it and blew up. I refused to leave the living room when he demanded I go into the bedroom so he can have alone time and play his video games to cool off. Honestly I really would have let him if it weren’t for him insulting me over and over after I told him to stop.
After I refused to leave because I was playing with our daughter, he stormed into the bedroom and said I was psychotic and just had another psychotic episode and that he’s going to divorce me and take full custody of our daughter. I did not have a psychotic episode. I got angry and blew up which I rarely ever do. He said I have to prove myself to him this week and that he’ll be getting divorce papers in the morning. And if i “changed” by the end of the week then he’ll reconsider it
I’m a SAHM. I am the primary caregiver of our daughter so when he said this, I freaked out and bawled my eyes out. I’m only 9 months pp so him saying this stung like a bitch. I sucked it up and made him dinner and left him alone. He ended up coming in the bedroom and cuddling me and this morning he’s acting like it never happened. I refuse to say anything about it because I have no willpower to fight about it. All he said was “last night feels like a fever dream” and then carried on this morning.
I can’t look at him the same anymore. He crossed a huge line with threatening custody (we’ve talked multiple times before about how we won’t ever put our children through a custody battle since we’re both kids of divorce). He wants to threaten divorce? Sure whatever. Call me psychotic? Yeah, ok. But threaten to take my daughter away from me? Fuck you honestly. Now I get it. I’ll slowly build money in case of an emergency. I’ll document everything. I’ll keep myself and my daughter safe. As of right now, no I won’t divorce and I’ll act like everything is perfect and that I’m the greatest wife ever. But worst comes to worse, I’ll have a way out.
