I wouldn't recommend staying with your husband, personally. I would, at least, get out safely & demand that he get professional help, if he insists upon loving you & wanting you back again. I am *really* not one to push divorce (because it is so difficult, on many different levels) 9/10 times. However, when it comes to abuse, I firmly believe in getting the heck out of the relationship!

Thanks. He isn't always like this, so I didn't see it as emotional abuse at first. Unfortuantely I can't just get up and leave. Where would I go? I have no money, no savings, no job, no asssets, no nothing! It'll take time to save up and get a job, etc.....
In the meantime, I'll try to look for a good low cost marriage counselor who can help me out with all of this soon. This won't be easy as a lot of them cost a lot of money, and my insurance barely covers much when it come to mental health coverage. And a lot of these counselors aren't always so good. I know from experience! I'll have to be much more careful now as some of them are awful, and a real joke!
