I made a mistake

[Sad and alone]

More arguing. I am tired of the cycle. Acting normal and then him getting angry or annoyed at me about something. Arguments. I’m expected to agree and we can then carry on. I tried to get away but he followed me and wouldn’t leave when I asked him a thousand times. I made a mistake and told him he was being emotionally abusive as I was upset and he wouldn’t leave me alone and he hit the roof. He says I’m to go. Always me to go. I have responsibilities here with a business and animals. I don’t want to leave my little old dog who has health needs. I’m worried he won’t look after him or the others. I’m heartbroken as I am really at the end of my tether but am so entwined with everything here I don’t know how I can just walk away from it all.

Yes, you’re allowed to make a mistake. Every human on the planet does that, fairly often.

If he can’t live with it he can go.

I would stay to look after an elderly pet too ( I did in fact). It’s right, unless you can find a nice foster home for him/her or somehow take him/ her with you.

He came back and has said he’s had enough and he doesn’t care about anything. I hate it as it makes me start thinking I have just been awful and didn’t realise or care about him. How I’m ungrateful. You argue so much it all becomes a fog and I can’t think straight and sometimes can’t think what started it all.
I’ve said I can’t let people down with the business. I can’t cancel things at short notice. He’s damaged part of the property and I’ve said he needs to fix it. Also that I can’t go as (detail removed by Moderator) and if he’s not going to deal with I need to. I can’t afford to lose money. But I wish I could just go. My poor dog is too old to move. He gets confused. I worry he won’t care for him properly or that he’ll get wound up by him and he’ll lose patience with him.
If I hadn’t said the words emotional abuse we may have got past this but it seems to have triggered something.
