Hello
Please give me your opinion on this. Was I wrong?
I ask here because I don't share what happens with my marriage to anyone, except yesterday I shared for the very first time with my neice. So I have her opinion but my husband repeatedly states to me often that my family are losers, that based on their lives and what they accomplished, they are not references
Two nights ago I took the extra pillow that I use to watch tv in bed so that my neck doesn't hurt and put it at the foot of the bed because I was going to sleep. I need a pillow that is fluffy and full and remains upright because I am having a pinched nerve in my neck
My husband who has 5 pillows for his legs and 1 for his head told me me to give it to him. He does suffer from leg pains.
I said to him, but I don't want it to get ruined like the other 2 pillows (we had bought 2 new pillows awhile ago and he uses them for his legs and now they are indented severely in the middle and I can't use them ).
He got super super angry. Note.. When we got married I didn't have much, he had a house, car, etc... So he gave me a lot.
After I said I don't want my pillow to be ruined, he called me bad names, remove his ring, texted me 18 times "ungrateful (my name)" told me to go sleep elsewhere, said he was going to ignore me from now on, etc...
I was so affected by his name calling, over the fact that he denied ever calling me names 3 weeks ago ago (he either has memory issues or lies) that I barely slept and I felt shaky inside all the next day. I was thinking about leaving, not caring that he said no one would believe me if I told them about him (he's super nice to everyone else), the only thing that stopped me was all the good things he was does for the Lord, to spread the gospel, would be destroyed (if people believed me)
Maybe he was extra sensitive that day because I had left my purse in the trunk of the car for the 4 time and had to call OnStar to unlock it. I am super distracted.
He said if the soldiers of king David went to get him water, the least I could have done is given him the pillow. If there was a last piece of pie and he wanted it, he would expect me to as a loving wife's to give it to him. A mother would give her a child the last piece.
He's said many many other women would have been given him the pillow. He said that I am not giving (I make his meals, get his snacks and water/coffee /pop, laundry, clean house, when I go shopping try to buy things he likes, if he wants a treat meal from a restaurant and is working, I go get it). All I do is discounted because he says other women would do it too.
I just tried to explain to him that I didn't want my pillow ruined, indented like the others. If it gets indented, I can't use it.
In hindsight, which I only thought of later, I should have given it to him and then used to one of the extra pillows downstairs but it was late and I didn't think of it at the time.
Another thing that's may have made this worse is that 2-3 weeks after he called me bad names, when we were making love, he kept on asking me numerous times to look in his eyes and tell him I love him. I did but one of the times I I looked away and now he's upset about that too.
So.... Putting aside his behaviour, was I wrong to be reluctant to give him my pillow?
