[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone. I'm a registered contributor but am posting this anonymously because I need help and don't want to take risks.

I'm in an extremely emotionally abusive relationship. My wife constantly puts me down, points out faults, makes passive aggressive statements and in general puts me through an emotional roller coaster.  I try every day to start anew. I'm loving, tell her I love her and do anything she asks of me.

For background, this is a second marriage for both. I'm raising her children (my step-children) as our own. They call me Dad and I'm very supportive.  I have children from the previous marriage but, due to my wife's emotional abuse I am effectively cut off from them.

Her behavior and abuse has been a source of great embarrassment personally and professionally. My work is suffering due to my emotional state and her demand I be home at certain times, interrupt the work day for things etc....

I'm very extroverted and very loving. I am really sad that this has come to this.  Of course there are things I could do better but in all honesty I think I'm in the top 10% of supportive husbands.

The things keeping me from walking out are worry for her and the children's future financial welfare and fear that she'll destroy the few personal items I have.  Plus I have a standard high powered DC career and don't want any further embarrassment.

I've told her that her behavior is unacceptable on several occasions but it always turns into an argument with her insisting that it's me blaming problems on her.

Help.
