My "husband" treats me terrible, especially when we fight (that he starts out of the blue!). The past 3 fights he has: put a hole in the wall, called me fat & lazy, and called me the "C" word. He wants me out. This past time he got out of bed before the sun even came up because the dog who sleeps with him kept him up all night. So he was sleep-deprived, as he puts it. I said put the dog out & come back to bed. Too late, he goes into immediate rages.

He got up, put the bright light on, grabbed the dogs, into the bathroom he goes to bath them at 6am, comes out screaming at me that I didn't do it, don't have all the housework done. I'm a no-good lazy fatso. This comes from a 275-lb man who sits & plays games on the computer half the day while he sits on SS-Disability!

And just 3 days ago he's talking about marriage AGAIN. We've been together 18 years! He doesn't treat me bad all the time. He gives me money to buy myself things and thinks that is being good to me.

I am scared. He gets in these rages. I never know how to handle him or myself in these times. And right now I'm half starving myself due to his "fatso, you look pregnant comments". I had water & chicken broth for breakfast today. I'm miserable but I love him. And I have no place else to go. How do I handle this situation? IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN!!! Thanks.
