My husband

I've never posted on here but lurk a lot. After a horrible evening with my husband with him grabbing my wrist to pull me along to walk faster and calling me horrid names in the street I need some advice. He's just pulled my whole world apart he thinks I'm useless and lazy but I'm not.
So he thinks I'm a sponger for claiming benefits. I claim DLA (since I was a child) and more recently universal credit.

I have two disabilities, one physical injury and one autoimmune so I get very tired. I have also recently injured myself so I cannot work but when I am better I will be able to but he thinks I'm pathetic for saying I will only be able to work part time which is what I think I will be able to do and he said he has no respect for me if I only work part time.

He also says I should never have children. I do get tired and have limitations but that is all I want in life and he has crushed this. I know I would be a great mother. He thinks people with disabilities should not be parents and also shouldn't claim benefits. I just don't know what to do. I want to leave but can't afford to and I feel that no one else would ever want me. Is he right in saying these things? Should I not hope to have children in my life?

DONT have children with him. He sounds a hideous controlling bully. You need to end this relationship.
If he detests you so much why is he with you?
It’s NOT you, it’s HIM that’s the problem 💐

You only have one life. If having children is what you saw in your future and he doesn’t want that, I would say it’s a deal breaker regardless of everything else he says/does with you.

Definitely him and not you OpFlowers
As others have said please contact Women's Aid and also consider the excellent Freedom Programme Flowers

Abusive.

100% abusive.

Get help from the places mentioned in PP and get out. You are not a bad person and you are not a scrounger.

Find someone who loves you, everyone deserves that. This guy does not.

Oh OP. Why did you marry him? Was he nice to you once? Please leave him and don’t have children with such an utter bastard.
