[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I told my husband with abusive tendencies (threats and blocking my exit) in order for us to work on our marriage he must go to anger management classes. He's turned the tables on me and says I need it too. Should I go to anger management to get him to go too? I don't want a divorce but won't tolerate abuse. We don't have kids.[/quote]

Absolutely!! It'll teach you both what "fighting fair" looks like and could function as a therapeutic path to addressing your marital issues. What's holding you back?

Conflict requires you both to participate. Why not learn (with him, alongside him) how to dismantle an abusive dynamic? I think it's a strong step, one you should take together. And, I'd say the same thing if you'd asked about anxiety or depression. Learning to support one another and work as a team is a pretty amazing thing to do---especially now, while you don't have kids. I see it as an opportunity.

Share with us what you learn. I'll be keeping an eye out for your new thread!
