Alright, I really need to vent. I don't know what to do.
I know that my husband is really stressed out. He owns his own business and has alot going on. We'd gotten a little behind on our household bills, but not too bad. Well anyway...
I had told him that we were getting a pretty good check back from the IRS. He asked me if he could have half of it and I said of course. I was going to use the other half for our summer vacation. It may sound odd that he would ask that, but....the kids are my biological children, not his, and we only claimed my income. Since he owns a business he doesn't really claim much income for tax purposes, blah blah.....
Anyhow....I got the money today via direct deposit. I knew we were behind on bills so I thought I would surprise him by paying two months of all our bills. I ASSUMED he was going to use the money to pay bills anyway and I would just save him the time and hassle. I was hoping to make him really happy that he wouldn't have to worry for a couple months. I called to tell him the good news and he freaked and hung up on me.
He wouldn't answer my calls. About an hour later he showed up at home, mad as a hen, yelling and screaming. Apparently he had other plans for the money but he wouldn't tell me what. He said don't worry about it. I tried to write him a check for the other half of the tax return, but he tore it up. He was scaring me. I said I didn't want to talk to him while he was yelling at me so he said fine I'm leaving and not coming back. I left the room and he carried on pitching his fit. He broke this big speaker in the bedroom and its remains are scattered all over the floor. When he left he said "I don't know why I ever went out with you, you're psycho!"
So, he's gone. And I'm left to explain to my three kids why I'm crying and the speaker is all over the floor. They've already been through divorce once. I just can't handle this. I did nothing to deserve this treatment.
Sorry, I just have to rant.....
