Things have been getting really bad between my wife and I. I posted on here a little while back asking about custody, but we have been working on things all the way until last night. Long story short I booked an event on our dating anniversary, not wedding anniversary. This was something that I wanted to do with both my friends and my wife. We have never really put a lot of importance on our dating anniversary. To be honest I can’t even really remember the last time we actually did something specific to that date. So when I told her about the event she had the complete opposite reaction and completely freaked out. I’m talking full on hulk mode rage. I kept asking her to calm down in front of the kids and she refused. It culminated in her throwing something across the room in front of our 3yo. She then locked herself in our bedroom and proceeded to break anything she could get her hands on. I stayed calm, distracted our daughter until bedtime, and then entered the bedroom. It was a disaster. She locked herself in the bathroom and refused to come out, threatening suicide. She repeatedly asked me to leave her alone so I did. She woke me up screaming at around 4 am and proceeded to cut me down personally and about my performance as a husband and a father, before marching out the door, while leaving it wide open, by the way.

So my question is, should I leave? I have friends I can stay with in the meantime, but I want to know if when and if push comes to shove, will me voluntarily leaving the house reflect negatively on me in the divorce proceedings? I don’t want to be accused of abandonment of my child.

Thanks
