I am tried of feeling depressed and low and everything is my fault when it 's not. He came home last night after being with his friend all day. And started yelling and screaming at me and telling me I was no good and couldn't keep the trailer clean and I do keep the trailer clean. I mean there is only the two of us living here and it really dosen't get dirty. Well you know what I am sick and tried of it. He has been yelling at me all night to do this and get him that and throwing things at me. When he gets up in the morning I'm getting the key's to my trailer from him and telling to go live with his friend. Until he gets off of what ever he is on and changes his attuide. Because I am not putting up with it no more. I havn't done anything wrong and he not putting all his problems on me. I have had enough.

This is a sad situation to be in, I see many married couple around me in the same situation, I guess short of sitting him down and both of you talk about it and try to bring this behaviour to an end and it doesn't work then i guess you can only think about leaving him, you must try and be happy within your life, life is way too short to be feeling the way you do...I wish you well for the future..

His friend treats his wife this way, so he thinks he can treat me the same way. His friend is controling with his wife. So he thinks he can be controling with and that just ain't happening. I can't take it and I'm not going to take it. I have been with him for over 13 years and I left him for 2 years for this reason and he said he wouldn't do it again. The first two years we were back together he wasn't talking to this friend, because they had a fight and when they started talking again my problems started back up.

Hi You really do not have to put up with this..He is married to you not his friend..If he continues to behave in this unacceptable way ,you should think about whether you would be better off living on your own..Do you have anywhere to go if you do leave,do you have enough money to manage on your own until you sort out work etc. No-one can tell you what to do in this situation,but you really do not have to put up with his Neandethal behaviour. Think about what is best for you.then stick with your decision..wishing you all the best.. lorren192

Nobody deserves to live this way. You are living in a nightmare. Please leave this man now. Let him have the trailer and go to a women's shelter. If you wait around for him to give you the key, etc. it will just get worse. If he hurts you call the cops and have him arrested! Then get a restraining order. But, I beg you, don't lose your reslolve. Get out of this man's life!!!

Response to response: Mostly I speak from book smarts, but I had a friend whose husband put his fist through their door. She called the cops, had him arrested, and got a restraining order. So, I have had experience vicariously. As for the book smarts, I would recommend that everyone go through the 12 step program either with a therapist or in a group. We all need skills to cope with today's difficult life.

I'm gonna ask you again (I did in another of your threads) WHY ARE YOU WITH HIM...Seriously..I know that is a harsh question BUT dont you think you deserve to be treated MUCH better than that?! C'mon!

He is staying with a that friend right now. He has called me begging to come back. But I told him I can't take his mouth. He says he needs me. And he wants to work things out.

I'm sorry that you have to go through this. But I'm glad that you want to change the situation before it gets worse. You dont ever deserve to be treated like that, even if those things were true. You will be in my thoughts and prayers!

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It certainly doesn't help your depression and self-esteem to put up with a partner who doesn't understand or support you. My advice is get free from this relationship as quyickly as you can. It is the only way you will be able to heal yourself, unless there is a RADICAL change in your partner. What do you think are the odds of that happening?

I'm not going to be looking for anybody else. I am going to stay by myself.

I would let him know that you will not put up with it. You do not approve of the way that his friend treats his wife, and you will not be treated that way. There is no excuse for it.

This is sad but you should take some action if the things are not improving or the situation can get worse.

If he dosen't get away from the friend he is hanging with things can only get worse. The only way thing can get better if he stops hanging with this friend that he is hanging with.

Good for you. You deserve better - nobody should be treated so disrespectfully.

hi. i think that if you dont like what he is doing to you then you should stand up for yourself and tell him how much he has been hurting you. be strong and tell him that you are tired with what he is doing. it is really up to us how other people treat us. i know that you have been thorugh a lot but these things will not end if you dont end it yourself. face your fears. tell him whats on your mind.

Leave and go to a woman's shelter. Theywill help you get on your feet and away from this abuse.-Yu won't have to be there too long, but while there they can help you get a job of your own, get on your feet and a new place to live! And if you want..maybe even more education so you;'ll never have to put up wiht his screaming again. Honey..you need OUT! (And if needed, they can help you get a restraigning order from the plice and help keep you safe.) When you are ready..move to a new area away form this guy and have a new adbenture! No one deserves what you are going through!

We only have the one life and we have to make the best of it whilst we can. If a relationship is not working then we have to move on to someone or something else. Life has to much to give us to let it be spoilt by someone else. Have a great life from Deeeky.

Dear Strawpurple, You know just reading your comments, you sound like a strong willed person. You should have no problem resolving this. Tell Him, when the nights are cold go and cuddle up to your friend which he thinks is such a good guy. Good luck to you. I am going to keep checking to see what you will do. Cheryl

Hi strawberrypurple, You appear to be in a very stressful situation, and I agree it's time for you to leave. You certainly don't have to blame it all on yourself and get depressed. Take some time to think about your life, and where you want to go from here. Blessings.

hi. its time for you to walk away. u can do bad by yourself. u dont need anyone bringing you down. u know u have done anything wrong so dont sweat what he is saying. its time for him to go his way, and you your way. i think he is seeing someone else behind your back. when stuff like that happen, its a sign that he maybe cheating on you. if that is the case, you go find your self someone who will appreciate you and the things you do. he is verbally abusing you which is why u feel the way u do. he is treating you with disrespect. drop that zero and get yourself a hero. men like need to be left alone. hope things work out. have a good day

I would submit that he is not behaving this way just because of his friend - obviously his friend's behaviour just helps him to justify his own terrible behaviour. I know that the time you've spent with him probably seems like a lot of time to just walk away from, but the only thing worse than spending 13 years in a bad relationship is spending 13 years and a day. Walk away, count your blessings that you are physically unharmed and start a new life with people who value each other. It will probably take some reaching out and persistance on your part, but I know that you can do it, and find some peace and happiness. All the best!
