Can't stop crying, kept getting yelled at today

Post Reply New Topic

First of all, I can relate to your pain, MollyTroubletail. Many years ago, I had a man like that. I would launder and iron his shirts, plus wash all the dirty laundry for his mother, brother, and cousin. I would clean the house. I would bring him a warm cup of water and his toothbrush with toothpaste on it while he was still in bed, along with a cup of coffee. I would do many things for him, yet he would yell at me, call me stupid, and hit me. I finally left him.

Somewhere along the line, I came to believe that I did not deserve to be treated like a slave. I began to believe that I deserved better. I finally left him.
I now have a wonderful man who appreciates the things I do for him, and he does kind and thoughtful things for me, too. We are engaged and I am as happy as can be. I am an Aspie too, and if I can find goodness, I believe that you can too. This man of yours might just need counseling, or maybe he is so ingrained in doling out ugly behavior that you have to leave him. But you most assuredly deserve to be treated better than that, just because you exist and are a human being.

Honey, you did nothing wrong. You are taking the right decisions, the ones any reasonable person would take. Your husband is an abuser. He is verbally and emotiobally abusing you. And you are letting him do that. You need to stop that. My husband had a time when he started acting like that: yelling and me and calling me stupid. Until one day I found my daughter calling me stupid, too, and I suddenly realized what was happening. I looked at my husband in the eye and told him if he yelled at me or called me stupid one more time I would leave him. He knew I meant it. He never did that again, and our relatio ship improved a lot. He still has bad temper, but he manages it. I think you should talk to your husband and do not allow him to continue treating you like that. He will treat you the way you allow him to. Best wishes.

First, none of this is your fault. So don't feel as if you are in any way to blame.

Second, what med is it that your husband is missing? If it is a psychiatric medication, that may be the source of his anger problem today. If that is the case, call his doctor. Even this late, there should be an after-hours emergency number to call. If he really needs the medication -- and it sounds like he does -- the doctor can call in a refill. My niece has done this several times for my sister when she had run out of Atavan.

In any case, the other posters are correct that this may be a good night to spend with a friend or in a hotel, just to give the two of you some space.

Hi Molly. It sounds to me like you were doing your very best, & it also sounds to me like your hubby doesn't appreciate what you've been doing. Very sad. He needs to grow up. So he smokes & has withdrawls. That's on him, but he has no right to take his discomfort out on YOU! H'e being very disrespectful & downright rude. I grew up in a house where I was treated similarly as a child. As a young adult, I married a jerk who continued to abuse me. It took me many years to get away. I'm not suggesting you do the same. However, you do need some healthy boundaries so your hubby no longer crosses the line. It can be done!

I wish you luck! (((((Hugs)))))

Deserves a apocalyptic b***h slap, what a clown.

Needs to be schooled.

From a outsiders perspective he seems irresponsible, maybe not mature either. You're equals so why allow him to act in such a way. I don't know what to say other then stick up for yourself

This is a good book to read about things like this:

What you are describing is an emotionally abusive relationship.
This situation is very damaging to your mental health and your self esteem.
It has the potential to escalate into physical abuse.
You have done nothing wrong, his behaviour is not your fault
however you need to be proactive and not let anyone treat you like this
(you are indirectly responsible for how people treat you - either by allowing it or not now)
muster all your courage and leave him and don't look back.

You didn't do anything wrong, your husband is being a dick.

Just leave him - Sounds like the best option for you and he'll get what he deserves.

This is domestic abuse, namely emotional abuse.
I volunteer in this area, so I understand your pain and anguish of your living situation at the moment.

This is a link to one of the UK charities that specialise in the area, it explains what domestic abuse is. I don't know where you live or the support available to you, but this isn't healthy. Obviously it is your decision. But everyone here has shown what they think of him.

^ THANK YOU.

This is textbook abusive behavior:

Listen to these people OP.

Your so called boyfriend is nothing but a teenage boy that needs a good f*****g punch in the face from me, I spit and half kill men like him, do not fall for this man and leave him before it gets even worse.

Not to upstage any of the other posters, but I see similarities with my own situation. Except my problem is with my little sister instead of my SO.

Make a long story short, my little sister had a baby, has pretty much INFORMALLY delegated his care to my dad and I. Both her and my other sister get to have all the fun. They go to concerts, watch football games, etc., while I have to deal with both going to college, helping raise her baby, and her attitude problems at home. I'm still thinking about the pain from a particular incident last night, but she gets mad and acts like I am neglecting him when he has a fall or gets hurt under my care (when most of the time, the problem is that I couldn't catch him in time). She doesn't know how to spend money, got fired from several jobs due to absenteeism, and is fairly deep in debt. I would tell her no more babysitting, but that would immensely destabilize things and lead to more stress for my aging father. So I have to just wait for the right moment after I graduate in a couple of months to actually achieve liberation.

I'm not trying to detract attention from your post, dear. I'm just trying to say that sometimes you know you have the moral high ground and you want to live your life with dignity, away from an oppressor, but sometimes there are no easy solutions. You just have to make good plans.
