I really wish he saw it the way you and I do. He doesn’t see it as abusive; he wholeheartedly believes that I deserve this.

I do have family but I’m hesitant to reach out because I’m so embarrassed that my marriage is going under already, a month into it. I don’t wanna be the family joke [emoji53]
Can you give examples of what's considered emotional and over the top? You've also mentioned earlier, mean things being said, are there examples of that?

I sometimes feel like perception of what's considered over emotional can be subjective.

Ok, you burst into tears and demanded an explanation about the tv example of what's considered cheating. And he refused to try to understand your point of view and stubbornly declared that what was on tv was innocent and that men and women just innocently share beds as a common occurence.

You expressed that you cannot reach out to family for fear of being shamed. How stinking lonely of a feeling this must all be. With a family that won't be understanding nor supportive on one side and a husband that dismisses your opinions on the other side.
