So, my OH is a good man for the most part. Although, he does have a temper and, IMHO, anger issues. I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I'm not perfect, but I don't talk to my partner poorly. So, after years of putting up with him blowing up and calling me crappy names when he gets angry (piece of shit, moron, spastic twat etc.), I've found myself having feelings for another man. I've been drifting away from my OH for a while now, and the relationship has never been perfect.

I feel like a shitty person, I don't want to feel like this way! Nothing has happened between myself and this other man, but I know how I feel about him.

Am I an awful person? I feel like one.

I think there are two issues which maybe you've merged into one for the sake of your conscience? (No judgement as we all do this sort of thing.)

Issue 1) your husband is verbally abusive
Issue 2) you have developed feelings for someone else

With both issues, though, my advice would be the same - you need to consider whether you actually want to be with your husband. I'm not sure I would considering the names he calls you.

Your looking at the other man as a solution to your problems an escape from your abusive partner i would suggest you split and spend time on your own

Your husband sounds like the awful person here.

What a horror your OH is.

Why have you put up with that.

Dump him.

Move on.
