If ur spouse said this, how would u interpret it?

my husband and i have been fighting non stop for 3 days now. the other day he told me that if talking doesnt change me, he knows many other ways to make me change and do things. i took that as a threat, but he told me it wasnt. he meant he would just ignore me. im right to consider that as a threat, right? im done with counseling and crap, im calling an attorney this week....wouldnt others consider that a threat?
