My husband (an American citizen) has worked and lived overseas for two years. I live in Texas with our 15 year old son in a new home which we purchased in July. We are married - but there is no intimacy left in our relationship. Just this week, he sent me this threatening email concerning our new dog:
One month is how long you have to get rid of the dog. Any damage that has
been done to the home will be paid by you, at my discretion.
I have already made the January mortgage payment, but that will be the
last until it is confirmed that the dog is gone. End of issue.
You are playing with fire, I kid you not. I have made good on every
commitment I've made to you, but this kind of negligence and outright
dishonesty is not what I expect in return. Not on.
One month.
How can I protect myself against this threat? We have been married for 30 years - I don't really want to file for separation or divorce - just to live my life without having to constantly fear this kind of intimidation - and this is not the first time that he has made this kind of threat.
