[quote=Anonymous]Did you evert get it to stop?

My husband of 7 years has become emotionally and verbally abusive over the past 2 years.  An example from last night:

We have been discussing having children for a while but we have not been able to due to a lower HHI. Lately we are finally making money and my clock is ticking so I am eager to get started. He seems to completely forget about it or it is not a priority. He always says yes ok and then...we havent started trying.

Yesterday he was cutting some vegetables and preparing dinner when I felt sad and asked him if he really ever wanted kids. He gets angry and responds with a sharp, " I don't want to do this right now."

Whenever I try to talk about subjects that are important to me he shuts me down like that. Irritated, I continue and say I feel like he is stringing me along as I am already 34 and I have waited a long time to have children. I say that if this continues I may have no choice but to move on. 
He is now visibly angry and he tells me sharply, " OK. No dinner for you! You can make your own dinner! That was not ok" and slips in his headphones and ignores me.

I shut up and leave to go buy my own dinner.

We do not speak the rest of the evening and nor this morning.

I feel like I am being shut down. [/quote]
