[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am so sorry.  It is so easy for anyone on the outside to read all that you have written here and think it's very clear that you need to get out of this damaging relationship.

It really does seem crystal clear to so many of us.  But it's another to be living it for so long and feel trapped, afraid, scared, lonely, etc...

I am so sorry.

I grew up in a household ruled by an occasionally explosive personality.  It took me a lot to get over that.

I want to suggest thinking about this from a different perspective.  Imagine you are a mother.  Imagine you have a 3 year old daughter.

Imagine your husband's behavior - exactly as it is currently in terms of occasional anger, how he responds to frustration, how he talks to others, how others perceive him, etc...  Would that be acceptable for your 3 year old daughter to witness or experience?

What is your gut reaction to that question?  Go from there.  If it is clearly unacceptable for your 3 yr old daughter then why is it acceptable for you?  Why are you deserving of less?  Why would pursuing parenting with someone when you feel this way be a good idea?  Etc...[/quote]
