[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH has been awful - terrorizing me for months, lots of emotional and verbal abuse. I have a therapist, and every online source, including Dr Ramani would point to the fact that this marriage is over. Yet I feel horrible ending a marriage of 20 years. I am very conflicted.[/quote]

If you want to give it a last try so you don't end up regretting giving up without a good fight, attend marriage counseling with him for six months. If he isn't willing to go and fight for a better marriage then there isn't much you can do. [/quote]

I didn’t know how. He’s been so awful, I don’t want to speak with him or look at him. When I hear his voice on the phone (he’s been away for a new job for 2 weeks), I feel like I have PTSD. He repeatedly told me to die/go to my grave/he’ll ship off my coffin etc. I had to go to a hotel because it was so bad for a few days.[/quote]

OP dont listen to the crazy posters who suggest waiting 6 more months, doing counseling and so on. That’s ok when a couple has issues and are willing to try to work together to solve them. You say your husband has been “terrorizing you for months” with lots of verbal and emotional abuse. This is something you need to protect yourself from. If yiur husband physically beat  you up every day for months, would people suggest staying six more months and doing therapy? Verbal and emotional abuse is as hurtful and damaging as physical abuse. By killing your self estime and self respect, your husband manages to keep you chained to the marriage, which  is convenient for his as you are his financial support. If you can make sure if has a job, you should leave immediately and rebuild your life, even if it cost you financially. Ince you are out of that nightmare, you will feel reborn [/quote]
