to be with your husband if he keeps on getting mad at you for being mad at him for him not making enough time for his family. My husband and I have been married for 15 years and i grew up in an abusive family and displayed a little on him but i havent done that for a while now he works 70 hours a week and only has one day off but no matter what I say to him he gets upset at me when I ask (shouldnt have to tell a grown man to do something in or around the house, like cutting grass reading with his 7 year old and so on) he gets angry at me cause i get upset cause all he wants to do is watch t.v, fight and say he wants a divorce and no matter if i am being nice he still finds ways to argue and fight and blames me constantly on everything, what should i do?

Wow, he says he wants a divorce? He seems unhappy. I'm not saying you are making him unhappy, he just seems that way in general. Does he like his 70 hour a week job? Perhaps he's unhappy with that and so in turn it gets taken out on you. No, I agree that you should not be the one telling him to cut the grass or spend time with your child. Does he spend any time with your 7 year old at all? Does he not see a problem with that or is it that he won't even talk about it? Maybe you could present it more like, our son/daughter, would really love to spend some time with you, could we schedule a good time for you? What a tough situation, I'm sorry you are going through it. Could you just not pay the cable bill, hehe. Not really, then he'd be mad about that. But try to be calm and present things in a different mannner. And just don't let him argue with you. If he starts to argue, walk away. I'm sorry, I don't have any great advice for you. Maybe counseling? I hope you can work things out and that he will open up to you. Good luck with everything, the saddest part to me is that your child is suffering. So maybe if he at least can realize that, things could change a little.
