[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to try to get you to see how insane this is — there are lots of people who don’t deal with this from their spouse AT ALL. And you should not have to deal with this.

I’ve been married 15 years. My husband and I have never, ever yelled at each other (we also don’t yell at our kids). On some very rare occasions, I have likely said “stop acting like a jackass.” On one very memorable occasion I told him to F-off during an incredibly stressful moment.  One time in all these years he told me to “stop having such a shitty attitude” — spoiler alert, he was right.

But overall, when we are mad at each other, we can be pretty respectful in how we articulate what we are mad about. We typically reach an amicable resolution. When we don’t and things get tense, we usually end up apologizing that we didn’t handle the situation well — even if we have to agree to disagree on the subject matter. We are always striving to do better and make sure our marriage is happy and peaceful.[/quote]

I totally could I have written this. Our marriage isn’t perfect but I don’t think it would even occur to us to be mean or yell.

OP you said that it’s a dealbreaker, as it should be. He did what was a dealbreaker and you need to follow through. What the kids really need is one parent who gives them lots of love and emotional security. If they get that from you, then a divorce will be much better than what they’re going through now.
