Good afternoon gentlemen,

A few days ago, the spouse made an illegal threat of selling our house without me. I think things may escalate soon. I'm going to keep treating her with as much kindness and respect as she continues to abuse me financially, emotionally, and verbally. I'm going to keep being a calm grey rock as treats me with a master/slave dynamic. I've reached out to professionals and started to get all my ducks in a row. Wondering what else to expect and what else may happen and what else to do? The spouse has made a lot of ultimatums and threats in the past. Each time I caved in to an ultimatum, I realized in hindsight that it was further increasing the master/slave dynamic. While doing so bought me temporary relief, it made her even more aggressive and abusive towards me. It's really sad that a 10 year relationship which started out as a 50/50 partnership is now at a point everything must be her way or the highway. Sorry for the rant and thanks for reading.
