AIBU to consider divorce?

Me & DH have been married 3 yrs, together for 10.
In the past year, we’ve argued about money, cleaning, his laziness & when we argue, he tells me to shut my effing mouth or to STFU.
I don’t swear at him and he seems to always want to start a row by just disagreeing with everything.
I joined WW and he said diet made no sense and he’s fed up of me making shit (healthy) food and weighing food. He’s just unsupportive and disrespectful & lazy. He never arranged anything for us to do yet moans that we stay in the house all the time. Every time we’ve gone out, I’ve suggested or arranged it but he CBA.
At the end of my tether. I’ve got an autoimmune disease which gets worse when I’m upset & spend most of the time avoiding him as I don’t want a fight.
I have no family to stay with and don’t know how I’d cope but I don’t know what to do any more.

Divorce is always a consideration if you’re in an unhappy marriage. Covid has been difficult for many people, but his rude and unsupportive behaviour sounds unrelated.

Where do you stand, money wise.

Can't see a reason to stay married to someone who doesn't respect you, abuses you verbally and doesn't seem to understand what marriage is.

He sounds fucking awful. Dump this disrespectful twat.

Thatsjustwhatithink · 05/09/2021 19:03

No one should talk to you like that. I hope you can find the courage to leave and find someone that treats you with respect and like an equal.

pickingdaisies · 05/09/2021 19:05

He sounds awful.

DrManhattan · 05/09/2021 19:06

I wouldn't stay married to someone who told me to STFU. Leave him ASAP

SausagePourHomme · 05/09/2021 19:06

Noone would tell you to stay in this ghastly situation. Rip the bandaid off before you become any more trapped by this man.

Travis1 · 05/09/2021 19:10

Do you have any children? I’d definitely be making plans to leave in your shoes

BiscuitLover09876 · 05/09/2021 19:12

Would he consider marriage counselling? Then you're both giving it your best shot and be might start taking everything seriously.
Honestly though, life is too short. Why are you with him again?

LawnFever · 05/09/2021 19:12

He sounds awful, I wouldn’t want to stay with someone like him at all.

From a practical perspective do you have somewhere you could go? Do you have a job?

userxx · 05/09/2021 19:13

Life's too short to live like that. Fuck him off.

Firebird83 · 05/09/2021 19:17

Get rid.

Ingridla · 05/09/2021 19:23

He sounds hideous, fuck that shit, divorce the bastard.

MackenCheese · 05/09/2021 19:24

Dear oh dear! My first LTB.

Soubriquet · 05/09/2021 19:25

Does he make you happy?

Doesn’t sound like it

Get rid! You’ll find your life improves vastly.

Op, Divorce sounds good in this situation..
As people only change if and when they want to.

Therefore he won't change as he can't and won't see anything wrong with his behaviour.

He will almost definitely get worse as he will push boundaries and behave how he wants to towards you.

Eventually you will stop arguing and correcting him, as it sounds like that has already started with you avoiding him, to avoid more arguments. Avoiding him only works in his favour as you are now so worn down and he can just continue to be lazy, disrespectful, verballh abusive, etc

It will continue to affect your weight and health, so yes op divorce would be better for you.
