Frustrated with my marriage.

I have been married to my DH for 24 years. His bio kids have always lived 2 hours away. He has a Grandson who recently moved to the same town as us. The grandson was going to see his mother this past weekend. He stopped over at our house to pick up a figurine that was promised to his mother years ago by her Bio Mother and Bio Father. This past winter the figurine broke when the front of our gas stove came down on the figurine. I avoided telling my DH until the day it was to be delivered. Because I knew it would not go over well. After the step Grandson left. I left my house. Then I started to get Facebook notifications from the step Daughters teenage kids. They were all pretty upset over the figurine breaking.Which I understand. But one of them accused me of breaking it on purpose. And
I was told I was dead to them.Anyway I get home and my DH is gone.No note no text message no explanation of where he might of gone. But he did tell our Bio son that he is the man of the house now. My issue is the fact that my DH left without any explanation.

Why have you been holding on to this figurine this whole time? I'm guessing it was something from before you married your DH?

Why didn't you tell DH about the figurine first breaking when it happened?

The fact that the item broke and you chose not to say anything, DOES make it look unscrupulous. Not sure that it's a reason for your husband to up and leave? But I'm guessing there may be more underlying issues here?

I'm kind of curious as well as to exactly how important this figurine was to your DH since it's been broken and missing for months and he had no clue??

Also why is it OP's responsibility to hold on to this figurine when the SD has been an adult for a long time and should have had it, if it was that important.

Not saying it was okay for OP to not mention the item being broken before but I just hate how the figurine wasn't that important for the SD to already have gotten it and had in her possession, until it's broken and now everyone is all pissy with the OP. If the damn figurine was so important for SD to have, then she should have had it already.

I can see how the drama was ramped up because you let the grandson make a trip to pick up this figurine.. that you already knew was broken.

TBH, not coming forward when it first happened did make it look more suspicious.
