People are saying you're overreacting about the wrong thing.

Your OP (to my interpretation) said that you felt his walking away said something about his character and that it meant he was the kind of person who could leave his family behind. A personal attack on him.

That is hyperbolic because you are making judgements about his character and seem to be missing the fact that what it is really is is a red flag about the state of your relationship.

Imo you should be very concerned about your RELATIONSHIP but that doesn't mean you or your DH are bad people.

And fwiw I wrote that tale about my childhood more as a warning. My parents didn't always hate each other. [/quote]

Ok, that makes some sense. Re-reading my original post, I can see how it seemed like I was saying he was a bad person. What I meant was more like that when he walked away it struck me that he could/might walk away from our family more generally if he was mad enough at me, which was something that I had never really thought was possible before. I don't think that's too far from what you're saying about it being a red flag about the state of our relationship. :(
