I've been married almost 20 years, have a son 13 and daughter 15, she has a steady boyfriend and when he is over, my husband tells me that I talk too much to him and I am too nicey nice.

So your husband is actually jealous of a 15 yr old boy?
It sounds like he's "jealous" of anything that seems to make you happy and fulfilled..... have you ever heard the term narcissist???

Well of course he'd deny it....

I hear ya.... he sounds like a narcissist... and that he's trying to control you by whatever means he can.
The next time he threatens suicide, simply tell him "well, that affects YOU, and if you do all I can do is call 911 and they will take you for an evaluation".

At some point, you will finally be sick of this treatment and realize that you & your kids deserve better.
That sounds exactly like him, when I use to have my previous job, he would say why are you wearing that, why are you putting so much makeup on, when it was the same as I always do, making me feel as if I was "prettying" myself up for work, ug....
I am still getting blamed for feeling sorry for, or talking too much to my daughter's BF, it's getting stupid, then my husband acts fine later, and I feel better, I feel like a yo-yo.
MayI suggest that you get some therapy for yourself. It really helped me see the light. Also, my best friend (since high school days) said to me "We're 50 yrs old--do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?" and I really started to think about how I wanted the rest of my life to be, and it wasn't like that.
And as far as the kids, last night the 3 of us went to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Tomorrow my DD is going back to college. It was just a simple thing, but something we would never have done if DH was still here. it was a late movie, he probably would have found something to complain about, like why couldn't we go to an early movie, the kids wouldn't have wanted to go w/ him & I would have felt guilty about going w/o him. I do have those occasional thoughts about being alone when the kids are older, but I figure that I have enough time to make new friends before that happens. I also feel that being lonely isn't as stressful as being w/ someone who is always unhappy and yelling at people.
