I left my H about 6 weeks ago. After 8 years of Marriage and 11 total together I am tired and have nothing left to give.
My husband has never Physically hit me but I am learnng how bad the effects of Emotional abuse can be on a person.
Yet I still love him (Go figure)
During our marriage I have been Abused emotionally for years by him his children and his ex wife. The latter to I kept making excuses for him because he was " My poor abused husband". Even when I was ignored during games and family functions, as long as he wasn't ignored.
It started slowly, Ignoring me when I needed to talk, Accusing me of Attacking him every time I tried to comunicate with him. (My voice was to loud or to low, Why am I making faces or jestures when talking, Was that a smile or are you laughing at me)Why do you look so mad when you talk to me, Then the accusations why are you wearing those clothes to work, who are they for? Why do you wear sexy underclothes? You never wear them for me,By the end of that I had no underclothes left. Tell me what you did today (Don't leave anything out),What do you do when you come home from work before I get home, I will seperate the bills to be paid and you will have a seperate account with both of our names so I can check it. I will give you and allowance of @10 a week ,I heard you say a man's name in your sleep < are you sleeping with him.We even tried therapy for that one.. Then my clothes started to disappear and the dog somehow got into my drawer and closet and always chewed something my husband thought was sexy.
We bought a house together that he immediately started to renovate, the only problem was that after he tore it up 4 years ago, he never put it back together. So of course with no furniture or walls for that matter , friends and family stopped coming over,He would say to me "No one comes over cause you don't clean well" Then every time I made plans to go somewhere with him we couldn't because we needed the money for the house that never had any work done on it. Hell my belongings were packed away in boxes three years before in a room, so was Everyone elses except for his of couse..
The last four years the guilt came, he would contantly tell me what I was thinking about him, work, life, Like I was not capable of thinking these things myself. When i was tired and tried to leave he would cry (amazing how fast a man can turn it on and off) and say that I was the only one that "Stuck it out with him and never left" only I understood him, I was the only one he told about his trauma in life ,and beg me not to go. If that didn't work he would tell me that he was a falliar as a husband and a father and that he should just die so everyone especially me would be happy.
Last year his children left his life (as his daughter put it because dad doesn't even care that we exist). On there way out they tried to have me arrested at the prompting of there mother who harrassed me with her daughter for years. The phone calls the mom said this and that, constantly defending myself while my husband watched then hid in the basement, never once defending me..
I couldn't even mourn there loss because my husband reminded me every day that to do so would be an attack on him and his feelings. he took what pictures I had left of them and packed them away in the room.He said he just wanted life with him and I, like no one else existed anymore. When I couldn't take it I tried to talk to him one day, he got so mad that he cornered me in the kitchen, breaking cabinet doors along the way, then he chased me up to our bedroom that had no walls until I screamed so loud the neighbors came knocking, I ran the next day to a friend in another state. I stayed there for two weeks, The whole time being harrassed by him with Sorry and I love you and please don't leave me in my time of need. he promised therapy (even got a thereapust and medications, which he swore he was taking) I decided to give him a chance HE LIED
When I came home i learned that he was not taking the meds, just pretending that he was. He said " Well I didn't need them see I am normal" Statement of the century. he stopped therapy 2 weeks after I came home. He wven went so far as to tell me he was approached by someone at my job and "she told him I was cheating on him" I saw the video , noone even spoke to him. but because he started such a problem I ended up being fired a month later. After 10 years
Things got worse from there.. I actually had to tell him " to hug me like you love me" Imagine that..Then the accusations got worse. I was cheating on him he says with a man from work, then my son's recruiter, then another man from work.. He said that he new this because 4 years ago he thinks that he saw a text message from a man on my phone so that gave him the proof he needed to get a program on our computer and stalk me, and read my diary and check every phoone message. He says he has been doing it for years but it is not his fault. he says that he has been punnishing me for something that he thought I did.
And now that I am gone he does not understand why I cannot just put it away and move on with him cause after all he is again in therapy and working on himself... He wants me to give him another 4 to 6 years to work on him.. Go figure,, still about him. Now he wants to talk everyday, i can't shut him up/
There is so much here and I am sorry if it is scattered but I guess I needed to get it out..
I think I am missing what I thought I had , but really did not have at all. i have not filed yet but I feel it coming and I just feel like I need to know that what I am ready to do is ok..That "My feelings are valid for once".
Thanks for listening and any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Kai :confused:
