I am very confused. I am 21 yrs old and my husband is 27 years old. We have been married 2 yrs, but together almost 5. We have a 2 yr old daughter together. I have been uphappy pretty much since we have gotten married. He has told me several time the only reason he married me is I was pregnant. We own our home, and are in a decent amount of debt. I feel like I am obligated to stay,, to give my daughter a nice home and to give her things, I will not be able to if we split up. I would say our relationship is abusive to some extent....I just try to hid my unhappiness to everyone.. :( My husbands just says we should let our home get forclosed, then file bankruptcy & divorce... which I do not think is the answer. But he says why put anymore of his money into anything that i HAVE any part of... I just keep asking myself Why? Why am I here? I think is b.c I am so scared I can not make it...
and he wants full custody of lour little girl,,, Its like he is taking everything from me... and doesnt care what happens to me or how I feel.. I dont know what to do anymore.. does anyone have any advice??
You are young. Are you working? Are you going to school to better your employability? That is what I would be focusing on. Once that is in place, then you have some options.
No one can tell you what to do, however, from personal experience, I certainly hope you decide to leave the marriage. I stayed for many, many years because I thought I should. I get the impression that verbal abuse is involved. You may not recognize it or want to believe that your husband would, knowingly,do that to you. Think about the negative comments he has made. Think about how your actions now will affect your child later. My advice is get out of the marriage and fight to keep your child. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take advantage of that for you and child. In my opinion, your situation will not magically change, I wish the very best for you.
