Every time my husband gets upset with me, he takes off his wedding band and throws it or gives it to me....?

I tried asking him what is the point in doing that. To me it seems a little immature. What should I take from this? What are your thoughts on this?

Yes there are deeper troubles in the relationship. He is very verbally and emotionally abusive. I've tried to be there for him as much as I can through his family troubles, but he always seem to take his frustrations out on me.

He is being immature he is also trying emotional blackmail... Do not fall for it... if you give in because this hurts you he will continue do not let him have the upper hand a marriage is always 50/50 and respect and loyalty are first.

That's an inappropriate display of anger. Not fighting fair. In essence, he's saying that every time he gets mad he wants to leave the relationship. That's what taking off the ring symbolizes. Physically leaving the house would be one thing - nothing wrong with him going to the garage to tinker with his car, or you going to the salon for a mani-pedi, but taking off your ring, as if you wish you weren't married? The symbolism is disturbing. Is there deeper trouble in your relationship?

It is immature, and it's a form of emotional manipulation. He needs to get a handle on why he wants to cause a lot of pain and create a scene when he is upset with you. He obviously has not learned the art of compromise and may benefit from talking to a therapist about how to control negative emotions, how to work with your spouse, and how to handle his anger in a more appropriate way.

You helped your husband the best you can so you need to leave him alone now. Men feed to their wives for emotional support and some use it to abuse them. He has showed you honey that he does not care about you. Tell him to let go of his past, you been there for him and he gonna keep that excuse up as long as you accept it. He a grown man who got some abuse problems. Let your life progress, that is if you leave him.

He is very immature.Sounds like he doesn't want to keep the commitment he made.He is trying to manipulate you and If he did this to me;he would find himself sleeping on the couch.If he is not serious about the marriage then end it.Otherwise;tell him to grow up and be responsible.His temper tantrums are childish and degrading to both of you.You deserve better...
