I dont know your history or relationship background but sounds to me like a joke that you're taking to the extreme.

I'm sick of him throwing things out there like that like its nothing. Leaving me if I do certain things. Makes me hate my life."</blockquote>



sounds like playful joking banter to me but I didnt hear his tone or know your realationship history. Sorry  

I can see how it's just a joke.
But IMO, it's not a joke I'm okay with. That should never be thrown out there. Sorry momma  

Was he just joking?

Seriously.. He was joking.

It sounds like he was kidding and he probably expected you to joke back with him. If it really hurts you that bad, have a conversation with him about it - I really don't think he said it with bad intentions though.

Do you really think he would divorce you over a picture?

I know y'all have had some rough times. It be seriously time for counseling if he was über serious.

My husband says it sometimes in anger and I hate it with a passion. its not something i take at all lightly joking or not.

Is he in for his vasectomy? I think he was joking but trying to portray he doesn't want many people to know he had it done.

That's a good point

I'm sorry but in my relationship we would never say divorce even in a joking way, my husband has been through a rough divorce in the past and despises that word. I would be extremely upset and hurt if he ever said it "jokingly" if it even comes up in something we are talking about we call it the "D" word instead. I can understand why he would be upset that you took the picture, but saying he would divorce you over it was taking it to far and honestly I probably would've walked out of the room until he fully apologized. If he refuses to go to counseling and work on your marriage then maybe its time to move on?

I'm sorry you're going through that hun. While I agree that divorce should never be used as a threat, he probably meant it to be funny (although it wasn't). I would have a talk with him and let him know how much it hurt you.
In regards to not working - I'm really sorry you're dealing with that   I was in a car accident that left my fibula and tibia shattered and four surgeries later, I still can't work. I have nerve damage, no cartilage in my ankle (it's slowly fusing together and will need to be replaced soon) and I still go to physical therapy 2-3 times a week. We don't even have kids yet but DH comletely supports me financially, and never pressures me to work because he understands my condition. Your DH should definitely be more understanding. You're married and you have children, you're being a mother and a wife. If you can't go out and get a job due to a medical condition, he should be supportive. I hope you guys can work everything out, and I hope things get better for you.

That right there would make me look at my "options". He has been very unreasonable with your mental and physical health.
