[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my marriage of 6 years, OP, except that in public he generally will praise me. Just ignore me and give me the silent treatment more often than not at home.  I am miserable.  If 1 out of every 14 days he is affectionate and attentive, he cannot understand how after 6 years of this, I don’t want his interest.  I don’t want to touch him.  I don’t even care whether there may be a smidgen of something legitimate he cousins really be upset about.

I stay because we have a kid together and I can’t subject a child to his moods for 50% of the time.  I don’t want to stay but I grew up with emotional and verbal abuse and I can’t leave a young only child alone with this.  But yeah, as for me, I just don’t care why he wakes up and doesn’t even want to look at me.  Eff him.  Nothing I could possibly have ever done could justify a few days of this behavior, much less it being the norm more days than not.  He has absolutely no willingness to go to therapy alone or together.  I just have to figure out the least damaging time to divorce.[/quote]

I am in a very similar situation. Waiting it out until kids are old enough to have their wishes be recognized in court so they don’t have to spend time alone with him. I dread 50/50 custody for fear of his angry abusive behavior towards the kids.

In the meantime, I feel like a fraud.

OP, if you don’t have kids, leave. If you do, try counseling but of he refuses, weigh out the options. Divorce with him having 50% custody of your kids exposing them to this behavior without you around to shield them or stay in the marriage until they are old enough to tell the courts that they don’t want to live with him.

I’m sorry you are going through this. It is so hurtful and you deserve better.[/quote]
