Hi,

You are in a classical verbal/emotionally abuusive situation. They make you unsure of your own feelings and that something is wrong with you.

Ask yourself these questions?
When was the last time you set a goal for yourself?
Are you able to dream and share these dreams with him?
Do you worry how he will respond to you?
Do you feel lost at times and don't know why?
Do you feel comfortable making plans for family without asking him first? Even accepting a dinner request?
Do you feel like you can't get the house clean enough for him?
Has he laughed at your ideas that you felt were important?
Does he make fun of you in front of others and pretend it is a joke?
Is his happiness up to your actions, is it your responsibility to make him happy?
Does his happiness come first?

Anyway I could go on and on. Don't let him steal your confidence. Work hard to set goals and dreams and meet your own needs. Take care of you, no one is worth loosing yourself over.

Be strong, be very strong. If you are in a verbal abuse cycle, it is quite a ride.

If you are, you are not alone
