Hello @wakeupkitty.pal. Yes, her husband was a stubborn one. Not willing to compromise until he saw she was serious. She spoke her mind and gave him an ultimatum. As I always believe, bullies will be bullies until someone challenges them. Then they will back down.
You were correct. He never apologized for his verbal mistreatment. He just shut up and ate the stew. Evidently the situation between the couple calmed down as the wife reveals that was over thirty years ago the incident happened. My spouse would have to have changed tremendously for me to stay in that environment, then proceed to have children.
Anyway, relationships are complicated enough without lashing out at each other instead of calmly resolving issues. And, have you encountered this where the conversation turns to topics that doesn't involve the situation at hand. Just venting because one can. Not healthy at all.
Thanks so much for your visit and kind compliment. I appreciate it and your support. Take care.

Let's say I left the bully his ultimatum was 1 year, he changed for at most 5 days.. Nevertheless, I stayed that year till the set date.
Five days of peace before the bully reared its ugly head again. A person can only take so much if one knows the situation won't change and will continue in a repeated mistreatment. Courage to change the situation takes time. In your case, you made the decision and stuck to the set date. I know it wasn't an easy decision, but for your own health and safety and that of children, something has to change. A different location may be the only alternative.
I appreciate your engagement and sharing of your story. Take care and have a good start to your weekend.
