[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry OP.
That sounds very stressful.
I can’t imagine the circumstances that would cause you’re DH to act this way—particularly if it’s a divorce YOU did not want.
I sort of get him acting all mad and crazy if he caught you cheating and is irreparably hurt by it or if you insisted on divorcing and taking the kids and he is hell-bent in not letting that happen.
But since you said in your original post that you are in the middle of a “very unwanted and very litigious divorce,” I’m trying to make sense of that since it seems like he is initiating the divorce and choosing to be nasty and difficult for no reason? Are you sure he knows that you do not want a divorce?? It just makes no sense for him to go nuclear when you aren’t pushing his buttons. And given that in 85% of all hetero divirces, it’s the woman who files, this is definitely unusual.

Not OP, but I'm in the middle of an unwanted divorce and I'm also the one who filed.

It was that or wind up in the hospital.

I literally can't live under the same roof as my STBX, but that doesn't mean I want to be here. What I want is STBX to not be an abusive addict, which was true at points in our marriage so it's a reasonable want. It's just...not going to happen. And STBX has undergone the literally tens of thousands of dollars of therapy to prove it first.[/quote]
