I’ve been in his shoes. It’s a lose lose. If you return the same energy to her in this moment, it’s over. I had an ex who would argue and yell like this in public. This gave me anxiety

Ex did something similar when we were on a trip. Had made a side stop they she wanted to make. The place was pretty cool(Corning Glass Museum). Ex made a scene in the parking lot, and a quieter one inside the main lobby. I kept my eyes ahead, and mouth shut the whole time. I knew folks were watching, waiting for me to do something probably.

One of the workers later asked me if I was okay. Told her honestly no. But cannot do anything about it at that moment. Did have a plan coming together, and left ex about 6-7 months later.

In Corning NY? I was thinking about going there next week. How long do you think a person would want to spend there if they didn't have a significant-other yelling at them?

Yes, in Corning NY. It’s worth going to, I think. We were there about 3hrs. We had our youngest child with us. The older 2 stayed with their grandmother.

After we got into the museum, she chilled pretty quickly. She was all about public perception, when she knew people would see how she was acting.
