[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. First date - was sarcastic and critical on our first date.  He was rude/impolite to the waittress.  When I spilled a drink, he made fun of me instead of offering a napkin like any normal person would.  
2. 3 weeks into dating - sent me a vitriolic email with the intent to hurt me as deeply as he knew how.  Simply because the night before, I told him I just wanted to take things slow at first.  [/quote]
You didn't end up marrying him did you?[/quote]

I did.  :oops: [/quote]

Did you grow up in an abusive home?[/quote]

To a degree, yes.  The verbal was worse than the physical.  A home where we had no voice, no control, no identity, except to be obedient and make our parents look good.

My husband is not quite as bad as it may sound, as I only stated some of the worst things.  We've gotten pretty far from where we started, we have been working on it.  But these behaviors have echoed throughout our relationship - a vengeful and surgical meanness when he feels hurt, and an utter lack of manners or chivalry.  My dad told me when I was 20 not to trust men who are romantic and "chivalrous" and I think it stuck with me.[/quote]
