To be proud of my marriage

[sheIliecat]

This is embarrassing.

For ages I felt like the only good thing I had to be proud of was marrying a 'good catch.'

How stupid was I

I know I was unreasonable. But was I alone?

All teens are smug know it alls. That's why we class them as children and don't let them make important decisions. Haven't studies shown now that our brains aren't really fully developed until we're in our twenties? You still deserve better. Theres some good advice on this thread, I hope you're able to make a happier life for yourself.

Feel better that you're all being nice about it I want to cringe looking back thinking how clever was I, to have nabbed a good man.

I'm not going to do anything in a rush but I semi confided in one of my only friends this weekend. She's on maternity leave and she's going to help me talk to a solicitor.

That's great that you sought support, there is lots you can do to get your ducks in a row without your H knowing.

I remember your other threads. This whole thing about always being skint, let me guess you work part time and have to pay for childcare and stuff yourself? While he keeps his own high salary? You really need to see a therapist in real life to help guide you through all of this. Your DH is an abuser. Physically, emotionally, financially he is an abuser.
