[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like he is an extremely unhappy man.  He is taking it out on you.  He either needs to shape up and treat you better or he will be alone very soon.

My guess is that he needs counseling.  I think the only way to improve your marriage is for him to become happier with himself.  If he isn't willing to admit that there is a problem with the way he treats you (or himself, for that matter), then there is little you can do.

While I don't call his behavior abusive in the sense of you being physically afraid of him, the way he treats you is abusive.  After living with someone like your DH for 10+ years, my self esteem was shot.  It has taken me a while to get back on my feet -- and I am still not there yet.

Don't hang in too long.  I do recommend working on your marriage and seeing if you can fix things BEFORE you leave.  You won't regret trying to improve your marriage.  If you do decide to leave, you will know that you didn't make the decision lightly and you tried to salvage things to protect your child.

Good luck, OP.  Take your time with any major decisions on divorce.  While it feels better to make a quick decision and get out fast -- you will be better off mulling things over for longer.  I speak from experience on this one.[/quote]
