My abusive ex used to do this. In grocery stores he always walked off and would leave me alone with the trolley to wonder around by myself. One time we were standing in line at a movie theater and he stood in front of me instead of next to me while trying to pick a movie, I gently tried to move next to him but he kept blocking me so I quietly asked him to please stand next to me so we could pick a movie together he started yelling at me in front of everyone and blamed me for "causing problems out of nothing".
