[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was he always like this?  Why did you marry him?[/quote]
We've been together &gt;20 years and we've had our ups and downs. It hasn't always been this bad, started getting worse about 3-4 years ago. I suppose I loved him and always made excuses for him. Blamed it on stress from schooling, work, having young kids. He usually apologizes, but then shortly after he's yelling about something else which makes me feel that his apologies are disingenuous.

This past summer I took my kids to visit family for a week-long trip. I have to say it was nice to be able to make decisions without worrying that he would get upset. My kids even expressed not wanting to return home because they don't like the way he yells.

I'm not financially independent and don't have family nearby. I've looked for a basic, 1 bedroom basement apartment in the area but the rent would exceed 70% of my take-home pay.

PP here in a similar situation. I was a SAHM and also cannot afford to rent in the area. I moved in with my parents until I get back on my feet, because anything is better than living in that situation. I know it's hard because your family are far and your husband may throw a fit about you taking them away, but please try to figure a way out. "Partners" like that are toxic.[/quote]
