Thanks for the response.
Not recently, but we have been married for 15 years and dated for 3 before that. Obviously when we dated he was lovely. And he was a great husband through much of our marriage.
But once we started having children and the pressures of the real world and our work and finances started to mount, he started drinking more and behaving worse and lost all tolerance and decency to me.
