[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there has been a lot of projecting as to the definition of threat. Spouse A simply could have said, I’m sick of you being late, if you’re not ready I’m leaving without you. Op never mentioned angry, loud, aggressive threats. Just that Spouse A has said on multiple occasions they would just leave and in this case they did.

People are posting as if the OP described some knock down drag out fight then a scene in front of the friends at the restaurant but the OP did nothing of the sort. [/quote]

I don’t think it means that.

Look, if my teenager is failing math, and I threaten to get him a tutor if he doesn’t improve his grades, then finally hire a tutor in frustration when he fails his next exam, that implies a certain kind of interaction.

If my teenager is failing math, and I offer to hire a tutor to help out if he keeps struggling, and then when he fails his next test, I find a tutor for him…that implies a different kind of interaction.

The initial scenario isn’t a knock down drag out screaming fight (although it could be).  But whatever it is, it’s definitely laced with anger and hostility.

Most people wouldn’t do this to their kids.  So [b]why do it to your spouse?[/b]  [/quote]

Why would Spouse B be so inconsiderate to Spouse A? They know the timeliness is an issue - Spouse A comes from a military background and has always made punctuality a thing and has repeatedly asked Spouse B to be on time. But Spouse B can't be bothered to care about what anyone else thinks. Why would you do that to your spouse?[/quote]
