There is no title to what im feeling
He has different personalities…one minute he’s loving n caring n hopeful…the next he’s angry…hateful…n mean.
Today I realized…i will never be good enough. He constantly tells me he needs a woman who does this or that n that I’m.just not her….i hear constantly how these kids n myself are sucking the life out of him…how when we weren’t here n he was by himself…how he loved it but now that we are back…he don’t want to come home. I didn’t ask to come back here…he asked me to come back.
Today he got angry that the spaghetti from days ago was still n the fridge…so he went on an attack n came after me verbally. I simply said..”if it bothers u so much…why don’t u just take it out the fridge n throw it out…bevause it don’t bother me like it’s bothering u”. That angered him n made him go into a rant n attack my character as a person n woman…he then compares me to another woman by making another woman an example of the type of woman he needs n wants…he smashes my character into the ground. When shit is good….i try n convince myself that things will get better but then his alter-ego resurfaces n the hate comes after me like I’m his enemy. At these moments…i feel hopeless…i feel trapped…i feel defeated. I don’t cry…i sit n shut up n just listen to his hateful words….n I listen to him tell me I’m dumb….stupid…retarded…how he can never be with a woman like me…i just internalize it..
Swallow it…allow it to eat at my insides…n then I try to salvage the little bit of positive I can find inside of me n I pray…read the Bible…watch YouTube videos about how to keep a positive mind in a negative situations…n I write..post up prayers on my wall to try n read in times like these.
He is emotionally n mentally abusive…n my feelings feel beaten.
I hope you can get yourself into a better situation. 💜

a man that acts like that will never ever change! you will;l always try to change to suit him but then he will find other things…. a man that loves you builds you up he does not tear you down!

Tell him if another woman is so great maybe he should go yell at her. You are so much more than what closed minded small abusive men say you are. Also thank you for your note. I hope you keep reading my laments haha!

Oh. I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear this.
I was in a marriage much like this, with a husband who flew into Rages, sometimes physically aggressive, sometimes morosely suicidal.
I survived and eventually left him. It was what I needed to do.
My choice was less complex than yours in that I did not have children, even though I truly wanted them.
I would advise you but I don’t think I can. My own mother said it to me when she found out, even though she wanted me to leave him, she refused to tell me I should. She told me that every woman must come to her own decision about her marriage, whether or when it becomes too toxic to endure.
You are the arbiter of your own life and have one of the hardest decisions a woman is faced with.
Know this though, because it is the one thing I know is true –
He is wrong. You are not stupid. And don’t you let him ever convince you otherwise.
@cobalt Hi luv…ty so much for ur heart felt words. I just wanted to say this…i refuse to play the victim because I can leave…im just stuck in a lease for a few more months. He has never put his hands on me…hid family wouldn’t allow it. His abusive is more mental n verbal when he loses control n then he runs out to seek comfort from another woman. That’s his mental game. I am not stuck n this forever n he will let me walk out should I walk. We don’t have kids together (ty Jesus) but I got to ride out the lease n then im free to go. I vent in my writing when I’m going thru things but I am a very strong woman…ive gone thru things all my life n it’s made me into one tough ass chick. I always appreciate input from others n I value ur words ..ty so much. In all fairness tho…i did leave for almost a year but I came back on the hopes things would n different but of course they r not. So I can’t play victim. I just wanted to b fair to myself n say this out loud. I guess I feel I don’t deserve sympathy since I chose to come back into this situation. But just like I chose to make a choice….i can chose to walk away…AGAIN. N soon as I can…i will chose to leave. Ty so much for ur love n the encouraging words my friend. I really appreciate them. 💋❤
