Me and my husband separated in January after 5 years of marriage. He was such a nice caring guy until we got married. After that I'd notice he'd get annoyed and aggravated much quicker. He would go long periods of time without a job and make no attempt to find one. My checks weren't even close to being able to cover it all. Are arguments got more intense. He would drink and "black out" and scream and throw/break things. He called the cops many times and act like he was the calm one once they got there. I was arrested twice for assault because where I live if someone is accused they can be arrested without any physical evidence. I know I'm not happy, but I can't get myself to end it. He knows the easiest way to get a reaction out me is to ignore me. Give me the silent treatment. We haven't seen each other since January so he will text me like an old pictures of us or something to get my attention and ignore my texts/calls and give me no explanation. I don't understand why he's doing this! How does he benefit from it? And how do I build up the strength to finally end this toxic relationship? Forgot to mention we don't have children.
