I (f27) would not pull a sticker off of a present (it wasn’t an actual present - just something he (m28) wanted to get rid of). Our kids were in the car and he pulled over to the side of the road and threatened to go home instead of to my parents for presents, if I didn’t peel this sticker off like he asked (I had told him no).
I usually cave as my counselor told me to pick battles even though she acknowledges I’m not usually the one being the duck and decided not to, because personally, I’m done and feel like I’m only showing our kids to do whatever someone asks the minute they ask, and to take bad treatment. Anytime I “pick” battles he steam rolls harder leaning into asking for these things.
So he drove us all home making sure to tell the kids it’s because I couldn’t “swallow my pride”. If this was a one time incident maybe but it’s not. I told him to leave and that he ruined our kids Christmas and that he was being the worst Dad over a sticker. He continued blaming me. In our room I put his clothes out and told him to leave.
I’m so tired of the extra expectations he never holds himself to, and every holiday having a literal blowout and jumping hoops from him. I decided this is the last holiday my kids see and hear threats on a holiday.
I told him to keep my gifts, and he stuck one of the computer stickers he got me on his own computer right in front of me trying to upset me. And is now parading around as if he’s about to use every one of the gifts - I could care less.
I’m just so over this dumb shit. He’s now threatening to sleep out on the couch, and I’m just reminding my own self not to cave because this dude is just an asshole to play with everyone’s Christmas over a sticker and put the blame on me.
TLDR: my husband says I ruined Christmas because I wouldn’t keep trying to pull off a sticker (that wasn’t coming off), so he turned the car around and my kids would miss the rest of their presents and family - he would blame me for this. This happens every holiday.
