I posted last night about how my husband of almost 20 years just suddenly lost his mind during an argument and attacked me.

I've been thinking about that all night. He pushed MY buttons and I told him to stop talking to me but he didn't. I started shouting at him because he wasn't respecting my boundaries, yet then when my shouting pushes his buttons then it's my fault??!!! He can tell me I don't know how to string together an argument and make me feel like enough of an idiot to make me start yelling, but oh no the neighbours will hear. Who cares about them! The same lot who let's their dogs bark for no reason, who broke lockdown rules and had visitors when you weren't supposed to, who let off fireworks during illegal times WHILE they have their own dogs, who have also had some fights in the yard. Who cares about what that lot think!

Also the lack of respect for my opinion, the lack of not even understanding the viewpoint, the fact that I couldn't even finish a sentence with him interrupting me so much. No wonder I couldn't string together my argument, with the constant interruptions. He thinks the world revolves around him and his workplace, he doesn't understand there are millions of people who act and do differently to him. I've worked in the medical field, I know what alcohol does to people!

Other than a scratch on my neck and a small bruise next to it, luckily there are no obvious signs of what he did. Although my neck and shoulder are so stiff and sore today.
