I don't want to minimize the emotional abuse. Was your current dh the perpetrator of this emotional abuse? If so, why are you with him and why did you have a child with him? If he was not, I think you are both horribly sleep deprived but may want to look into couples counseling for coping skills.
He's been emotionally abusive for years. I thought it wasn't that bad for a while because my prior relationship was extremely violent. I was in love with him anyway, but then I found out he cheated (I was already pregnant when I found out). Now I'm filled with rage. He treats me with disrespect on a regular basis. This is the last straw for me.

I would be making moves to get out. He is already emotionally abusive, sounds like he's escalating to physicality now. Don't wait, you know what you should do.
Some of you ladies out here are really nuts and would advise a wife to leave her husband if god forbid he didn't say "bless you" when she sneezed! The above response is a gross overreaction and clearly comes from a damaged person. Op please don't listen to this nonsense. Your husband is human-- a sleep deprived human. Get some sleep if you can, love him, forgive him and move on from this. Good grief
Gotcha. Is that the going excuse now? Anonymous wrote:Nope. If you are a male, you do not get to be violent with me- I don't care if it's a pillow or an apple, whatever- it can all hurt like hell when thrown fast.

Emotional violence, yes. Emotional and financial abuse, yes.

This is an indicator that he is prone to violence, and frankly, he should be in jail. How long is up to him. If he gets help, maybe he should receive a short sentence. If not, well, then he doesn't need to get out, period. It's not like there's a shortage of men out there.
Point is, he's clearly violent and out of control. Today it was a pillow, tomorrow he might be shooting you and your child. That is completely within the realm of possibility and you need to deal with him according
