Yesterday my husband grabbed my chest. When I swatted him and gave him a "what the hell look," he said, I'm sure the deed is around here that says I still own 50%. I was flabergasted. He was half joking but unbelievably arrogant.
He is a bully.

Also, I'm not sure how to answer the question of why he is still living with me but despite everything, he is. I think maybe he is waiting on me to file. Furthermore, my mother in law is acting like nothing is wrong. She told me to bring the kids over to swim one day this week. Awkward!

So, I sit here listening to praise and worship music, trying to drown out any of these burdens. But, I feel like I need to cry and never stop.

Your husband is an abusive bully. The quicker you can get him out the house the better. What does legal aid say about having to live in an abusive household. I am so sorry you are going though this. It must be hell. Are the children safe?? Stay strong and keep standing up for yourself and your kids. You are amazing.

My wife and I have had extreme episodes, she is anxious and has moods, and I'm straight up bipolar. I know we have both done things that we regret tremendously and felt totally right at the time. It is hard to live with mental illness, and hard to live with someone who has mental illness. If you are in danger it is important to get out of danger, but having a partner is a big deal, especially if you are mentally ill. Not to be taken lightly.

Since you are no longer wanting to be in a sexual relationship, I would consider that sexual abuse. I would get out ASAP. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

For his own satisfaction, he would have sex with you. He has said that outright. It sounds like that he his crude attempt at foreplay. Disgusting given what he says he thinks of you mentally and how little he feels responsible for you emotionally.
Thanks for this!

Hugs! What you are going through is completely normal- I'm sorry that your soon to be ex is acting this way.
Letting yourself grieve is completely normal.

Thank you all! My therapist said he is emotionally abusive so I researched the topic to see if she is right. I found this article (Signs of Emotional Abuse | World of Psychology) and almost all of this pertains to my relationship with my husband and occasionally to my children. I can now look back and recognize he had many of these traits althrough out our marriage.

I didn't discuss this in particular in legal aid, I am sure that it was because he hasn't even filed.

Yes, my children are safe. They hardly see him in fact. He advances from the basement for only minutes at a time and has taken them no where since he started his new job(s) and told me he planned to leave. I am sure he has no idea what he is getting himself into by planning to run a household while working, taking care of kids, cleaning the house, etc.

With all you've posted in the last year, I'd say your husband is an *****. Seriously.

That's rough that you have to live with him. I think he's a cheeky sod.
