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

NP - dumbly stayed with this person in my 20s. Our first fight happened a month in and he left me on the street as we were on our way to a party. I was about to turn around to go home and I ran into some people I knew who were walking to the bar. I was caught so off guard that I just walked over with them and went to the party. I would give anything to have had the strength to just go home.

He ended up being an abusive jerk, getting even worse when we got married. The only silver lining is that I met my wonderful 2nd husband just a few years after getting divorced.

One time she came back from a trip to west coast by taking a red eye flight back. After 2-3 days, she wanted to talk about it. I gave her a few chances but then ended it with her. She was very toxic.

wtf! She must have some real anger issues if she took a red eye flight back home and when you didn't ask her to. very abusive!

this happens a lot a few women that grew up in dysfunctional relationships. Using silent treatment or threatening to divorce is the one of their ways to manipulate.

I took the kids home and fed them dinner and did the bedtime routine and provided stability for everyone and assured them that all was well and that he would be home when they woke up.

This is terrible behavior (especially in front of your kids) and it sounds like he has anger issues. Since you say he pulls things like this often, I would strongly consider marriage counseling.

+1. He forgot his passport and couldn’t board the plane. I understand that it’s annoying but he made a mistake that anyone could make. I can understand you and your kids taking the flight and him meeting you there so you didn’t lose as much money rebooking everyone. But, he hardly abandoned you.

Sorry to hear this PP. my DH pulls this kind of crap too. I’m planning to leave him when our youngest goes to college. Five more years!

Yup. Things were going so well and then went sideways. But at this point, I’m too exhausted to post or reply to anything. Just scroll to see what I can glean.

my ex-gf used to do like this - running away whenever we disagree on anything minor, started walking away or just leave the house, giving silent treatment in front of kids, etc. She used to get very angry and started arguing about little stuff and not understand her boundaries. Most of the time I was confused if someone can behave like this with you if they love you but ending it with her was the best thing I did in recent years.

That's horrible. How old is she? This is nuts and she has a lot of anger issues.
