okay i am married to a man that is sweet one minute and crazy the next, he curses at me puts me down and acts a fool over really small things then the next thing u know he is crying and saying he is sorry for everything. what the heck am i suppose to do i have four children three are from a previous marriage. i know this is effecting them. but i dont know how to make it stop, he was on certain meds and they didnt help now he is off all of them and i cant see a difference good or bad. i had a really rough divorce once already i married this guy way to soon and now i dont want to go through another one but it seems like i am being pulled in that direction. any advice would be greatly appreciated

I feel for you wendy, I too am going through the same thing, except I have no one to believe me but one guy who use to counsel us. I can no longer trust anyone that my husband talks to because he has already given them the impression that it is all my fault and he is so innocent..So, we more or less, have separate friends..

I went through TWO abusive marriages. After deciding that I was better off just staying single because my decisions and my actions were my own, I meet my current husband. I have never been happier in my whole entire life! I guess the third time was a charm for me. I think it was because I waited until I was more secure with myself and my heart before sharing myself with someone else this time.

Send him back to the doctor to try different meds. It may take some trial and error to find one or a combination that works. If he refuses to get help then you have to consider the kids and what is best for them.

I would encourage him to go back to the doctor and ask for a different medication. Not all meds work for everybody. Good Luck! I hope for everyone involved that things improve and soon.

Obviosuly the one with the problem is him not you. I don't think you need marriage counseling. It's him that needs all the counseling he can get. I'm a guy and I get angry as well but not that way. I hate drama so the last thing i would do is make soemthign bigger than what it needs to be. Is there anything that could possibly be effecting him? From "this guy" term It doesn't seem liek you think highly of him and you admit yourself that you got with "this guy" too soon. Well if things continue like they are you you may have made another msitake in your marriage. I wish you goodluck :)
