[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't. Everything I do upsets my husband. Anything seems to send him into a rage. Yelling, calling me names, throwing things if I disagree. Typically it's done directly in front of our children.

While he praises any dishes he cooks for himself, he is utterly critical of what I make. 
If while cooking, I put the vent on level 2, he yells about why it should be on level 3.
I wash the clothes in warm water, he argues that I should be washing it on cold.
If I leave my (yes, mine... Not ours) bedroom door closed during the day, he complains that I should keep it open.
Buying my children colored socks instead of white socks.
If I warm up leftovers instead of cooking something fresh.
If I don't hand feed my 5 year old bc he isn't eating quick enough.
If I pour my five year old 3 ounces of milk instead of four.

He also micromanages everything I eat and what I wear. If I'm talking to a friend or neighbor, he hushes me.

I'm at a loss. He refuses to seek marriage counseling, saying its a waste of money.

Any advice? Is this marriage doomed?

I've been in your shoes, and yes, I think your marriage is doomed unless he is willing to see that what he's doing in wrong and stop it. That is abusive and is no way to live. My ex had an "I'm right. Shut up and do as I say" attitude for four years. It is so draining and upsetting because your DH like mine probably refuses to see that what he's doing is wrong. Been there, done that. If you're anything like me, you'll feel so much better the moment you stop living with him. [/quote]
