This was only since the show? "but one" sounds like minimizing it and justifying one too many. "thank GOD" seems to indicate quite a bit of relief on your part that you haven't had one since, leading us to believe you engage in AOs regularly.

So now it's her fault you are being made to be angry?

Sir, you are using YOUR poor behavior and anger outbursts against HER. Quite the amazing blame shifting you are doing here, also referred to as gaslighting.

And yes it is a "get out of jail free" card. We don't advise anyone to stay captivated in a marriage of anger. We do advise them to "get out of jail" immediately.

The only argument you are in that keeps going is one that you keep going. As we have advised her, exit if necessary but don't argue. It's not her fault if you stay to argue, it's yours.

Is your wife supposed to want to stay married to a man who AOs and punishes her? Would you want to?

Would you want to be married to a person who treated you this way?

Your AOs sure are causing you a lot of problems. Worse, they are hurting your wife. If she stays in a marriage like this, her health will be destroyed. Is that what you want?

Threatening the financial security of your wife is another way to punish her as part of your anger. Would you want to be treated this way?

What is very concerning Casper, is that you are having these outrageous, punishing anger outbursts and then either minimizing them or blaming your wife for them.

In reading the accounts of your anger, I can imagine you don't treat anyone in your life as terribly as you treat the person you promised to love above all others.

Worse, in your posts here, I see self justification and minimization of your anger. Intentional, punishing, angry behavior you are imposing on your wif3e that will destroy her health if you don't stop, or she doesn't separate from you.



Are you living in a covenant with death? With bitterness in your marriage? Read Isaiah 28. The bed will not be long enough or the covers wide enough for you to ever find comfort in that life. In Isaiah 28, God tells you to take a stick and beat these conditions out of your life.

Isaiah 28:29 "This [command] also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working."

Check up on your wife. Especially her phone and computer. Something's not right.

Snoop but don't accuse.

Hold back your anger. Remember you are the only one who allows you lose your temper. No one can make you lose control. Have you read the thread on Anger Management?

No angry outbursts.

It is best to keep your thoughts on your thread and avoid posting on your spouse's.
