Hi Jannaku - no one is ever forced to stay in a relationship but if you intend on staying with this man i would suggest he go into some form of therapy - and quickly - before either of you become any more emotionally drained. It would be ideal if the pair of you could also attend marriage counselling to help work out some of the current problems in your relationship - in short your husband needs to be able to relate better to himself as well as you. If he point black refuses to do either of these things then im not sure what other options are open to you. You shouldn't have to become a door mat and neither can the pair of you carry on the way you are now so something has to give - are there support groups IRL that you could attend? This might be a great outlet for your frustration and they would also be able to give you lots of advice and support. What about the board on here for partners of people with personality disorders - do you find this helpful? In answer to your last question - you won't be able to put up with this crap every other day and if you can't sit down with your husband and hold a proper conversation with him because of his tendency to dominate the whole thing, i would instead write him a letter which explains that you cannot continue in this way and that you want to help improve the situation but he also has to be commited. Hopefully his reaction to this should guide you as to what to do next, all the best.
