[quote=Anonymous]"I think this poster is spot on. Your DH acted terribly, but it also sounds like you've been drifting apart for some time. Whether you meant to come off the way you did or not, it sounds like DH feels pretty isolated in his own family and lashed out. It wasn't right, and he certainly has his own faults, but if things have gotten to this point, you two need marriage counseling to straighten things out."

+2.  I don't think your DH knows how to handle conflict well, and it's likely you may not either.  But I can easily see two sides to much of this.  One, that your DH is super stressed from his long-commute and being essentially the sole bread earner, and he's not feeling supported or appreciated by you.  And two, that he's not getting the intimacy he needs (emotional and likely sexual), and doesn't feel like a "date night" is going to give him that.  And likely three - that either you're too controlling about what goes on at home or you are not on the same page.  So I think you need counseling to work on managing conflict, meeting each other needs, and working as a team.  [/quote]
