Has your husband ever left you at the airport or party?

[Anonymous]

Apologies for going off on a tangent but I'm curious about the airport... did he board a flight without you?

Sorry PP ... cliche' as it sounds, he may have done you a favor. That said, I wish you hadn't had to go through what I imagine was Hell. <3

I have left him, after egregious behavior on his part. He has anger and control issues.

Same here. DH and I don't fight in public at all so there is no opportunity for anything dramatic like abandoning each other at an airport or party. We're both pretty sensitive and very proud so we do everything we can to talk things out rather than fight and never in front of anyone else. Otherwise feelings get hurt and a wounded pride means someone is going to dig in their heels to try and save face and the disagreement will never get settled.

The one couple I know that fights in public do it as a performance, they like the attention. It was obnoxious when they did this at 23 years old, now that we're in our 30s, it's just pathetic.

No, but I did see a couple fight at the airport in Cancun once. He stormed off, and she boarded the plane, with his ticket and passport.

He nearly created a security incident trying to go after her while she ignored security who were calling her to come back.

They were on our flight and I was really worried they’d be disruptive once on the plane.

OMG OP, I divorced a real jerk, he never would have done that!

Absolutely not.

No, but the idiot forgot his passport (in addition to the shaver and swimsuit he always forgets) so I manhandled the two toddlers the whole trip myself.
Of course he paid $$$$$ to join us a couple days later and doesn't have the balls to tell anyone what really happened.
He actually wanted us ALL to not go. On the vacation we already paid for. Because he doesn't know how to pack at age 37. Idiot.

Of course not.

No, we don't fight in public like that.

Well, it's a fun story. DH and I once went to a party at an airport. This was back when that was "thing" to do, see also: pet rocks and pet snakes LOL. Anyway, we got into an argument about baggage costs and what counts as a carry-on and he up and left. Never saw him again. (I wish.) Not!

Left me and our 2 year old daughter in a town 3 hours away from the town we lived, because he got "called into work "(in the town we live in.) We had to take 2 buses to get back home. Home being a 4 minute drive from his work. There was no fight. There was a girlfriend though. The fighting came months later.

wtf. no! We're adults. We don't argue like children. In 11 years we've never had a fight so bad one of us had to leave. The worst has been bickering and then we go to sleep. I believe I'd be getting divorced if he got on a plane without me.
