Among Friends

@rms1954 ...I am so sorry you are going through so much emotional turmoil.

My DH passed away just over a year ago. We had a long, wonderful marriage. That is until he became ill several years prior to his death. He became verbally and emotionally abusive. It was so stressful. I won't go into details, but although I loved him very much and am sad that he is gone, I do not miss the drama and abuse. I am now free from that. I wish you well.

Edited to add, I cut the tags off of towels as well.

@ScarletDove  Yes sure is and I was very tired of putting up with someone like he is. He was very controlling to the point of ridiculousness and jealous. I am much happier now.

@FlowerBear   I do understand that part...you know that kind of "behavior" was due to his own insecurities!  I had the same problem...and when he did not get a rise from me, he got ugly and angry. Adios!  Blessings and happiness for your life!

I will let a scituation go only so far. He likes to be right which of course isn't always the case. When I have had enough I say  Up Yours. Of course he gets mad but the discussion is over.

He is a good man to put up with me at times.

That must have been very hard.  Probably like being married to someone else.  I see people together in stores or out and about and they talk with each other.  My heart aches for that.  I am so tired of feeling like a nothing.  We sit here at night and I try talking to him and it just annoys him so much.  I don't know why ... I'm not that bad a person.  He talks with his father, brother, and cousin and he's a totally different person.  His voice, mannerisms, etc is so pleasant.  I said that to him a moment ago and told him I go to sleep every night wondering what I'm doing here with him.  He said nothing ... just kept looking at his laptop.  Like I wasn't here.  It hurts.
