[quote=Anonymous][quote]When planning the trip, we knew this would happen and since it was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, we decided that just I would go (he was invited as well, but we were concerned about both being away from our two children - 3 and 1 - for 4 days) for a shortened period of time (the other attendees were going to be traveling for a full week), and that we would celebrate our anniversary early (and we did just that with a trip to the Eastern Shore for 24 hours, two weekends prior). However, he still really did not want me to go and kept trying to convince me throughout the day, with escalating threats as the time drew closer (i.e., I would come back to divorce papers, he would tell the kids that I did not want to spend time with them, etc.)[/quote]

to me, the really problematic part is not, or not just, destroying the cell phone. It is the emotional intimidation (threatening divorce, turning the kids against OP). There's still some questions--did he always object to the trip or did he agree at first and then change his mind? If the former, one hopes that a reasonable  solution could have been reached collaboratively (which it sounds like it was, initially). If the latter, that is controlling, abusive, and frankly unhinged behavior. [/quote]
