[quote]I could handle the just not doing anything. I have for years, but it's the screaming, yelling, temper tanturms, alcohol, the world is out to get me, I know better than everyone and everyone else in the world is stupid attitude, coupled with his constant critism of me that I can't handle. I mean, if you couldn't close down the baby exersaucer in two mintues would you really throw it across the room in front of your children and scream "f*** it" even after I have told you repeatively not to act like that especailly in front of the kis.
This really seems like Depression to me and is fixable. I wish he could read this thread.
As for counseling. I would have no problem going, would love to go, because I know I have issues as well, like why I let him go on so long treating me this way before I said something, and why do I always fall for the "bad boys." But he won't let me. If I went it would "appear" to everyone that we have issues and godforbid we ever do anything that would make us look bad to our friends or family.
I wonder what it will look like to him if there is an actual divorce.
I guess it just comes down to he know longer seems me as me and if I try and be me and it's not what he wants all hell breaks loose as well. It all has to be about him and if I do something that isn't all about him he freaks! [/quote]
I am sorry. You sure don't deserve to live in fear, and if you are sure he won't hit you stand up for yourself and do it anyway tell him you are doing if for him. If you are afraid I mean really scared that he will get physical leave him.
I agree things are bad for you. I know there seems like there is no help, but all I am saying is do the best you can do to save it and if it fails you will never second guess yourself.
Nobody deserves to be held down like you are, but it is ashame he is not on board to try and save it.
I feel sorry for him and you.
If you need to vent or scream you can always vent or scream to me. Even if I do or don't agree with your decision I will be your friend.
