Divali

He wants to fight, he wants to threaten

When I returned from New York, my husband called not too long after I had finally settled down for the evening. He sounded quite upbeat. I even told him so. Everthing was going well until he brought up my travel time with me again, and today I checked my email, only to get a big, fat, threatening letter from him, giving me ultimatums and telling me that he's going to take my child away from me if certain things are not met.

He has threatened me once too often. I am no longer moved by his actions. This is a case of crying wolf.
One of the many things that I thought about on my way to New York was what would I really like to do? This argument and bile is about my spending twenty one days at home. He is behaving as though to do so is irresponsible and wreckless.
He also keeps using his mother as some sort of gambit by telling me that if I come back for so long, then his mother shall not take care of our child for any of that time. (As though I would have some issue with that!) He does not leave the matter there though, and goes on as I have stated above.

He gives no leeway.

All of his responses say, do this and I threaten you with divorce. Do that and I threaten you with divorce.
I find all of his actions tiresome and lame!

I just realised that his threat is particularly absurd and hollow because he has to leave for London in January, so he really has no power to dictate my life anyway!
