My problems are nowhere as bad as the many others I've noticed on mumsnet, but please pray for my marriage. He is so stubborn and won't even consider that he's hurting me, he thinks he's 100% right He's been through a lot, I've tried to be supportive but I feel like I can only do so much. I'm starting to really dislike him and feel better and freer when he's not home.

Am praying VV and don't think of your problems as trivial or insignificant - everything is important here and He cares for you, eh!!? Marriage is extremely important. I am sorry you are struggling. Please do pop by for a chat when you can and be assured that we'll be praying for a breakthrough. xx

VV - Prayers for you both and for a renewed love within your marriage. If we care about something, so does God, so nothing is trivial. Be assured of prayers and praying for a good week for you starting today!

MJIM - Have a fantastic day with your birthday girl!

Prayers for all facing big changes in your life with either jobs or homes.

Have a good week ladies.

Praying VV, nothing is too small to pray to God about!

Happy birthday N!

DS's birthday is tomorrow, he'll be EIGHT! As you can imagine, he's rather excited!

DutchOma · 21/09/2009 08:20

Thank you so much. He's got an arthritic condition which causes him immense pain and the meds aren't helping much. It's hard to be supportive when he is sarcastic and moody with me and our daughter.

What really bothers me is that he's a Christian too but sees absolutely nothing wrong with how he treats me, his pain justifies it as far as he's concerned. I have spoken to him in a calm, unemotional state but nothing gives. He once said that my 18 hours of labour was nothing as it had an end to it Of course I cannot know exactly how he feels but he's developed an attitude which is like "no one suffers more than me".

He's not all horrible, when he's not in too much pain he's ok but I only really have you guys to talk about it. Thanks again for listening and not making me feel like I'm overreacting.

MaryBS · 21/09/2009 10:47

You're right, he shouldn't treat you like that. It sounds like its the pain talking not him, if he's OK when he's not in pain. Is it worth considering him going back to the Dr? Can they help anymore? He needs to recognise though how this is hurting you, and how cruel his words are.

Haven't been on here for ages, and not very good at this, BUT, the more prayer the better.

Am just about to lay down the facts in front of DH as give him a 'last chance'. Have got it all set up with Vicar and wife, and DH will be asked to move out for a period, while we decide what will happen.

He has hit and kicked and slapped me before now, but DS has started to stand up to him, and the last row included a knife being held up to me.

And this is a Christian marriage!

What if DS had come down, seen, got involved? I have to do this for the kids, if not for me.

Please pray the next couple of weeks go ok and that I am able to stay strong.

Thanks.

Swaliswan · 23/09/2009 10:50

Praying SHR.

MaryBS · 23/09/2009 13:45

Praying SHR, you have to do what is best for you and the kids

positiveattitudeonly · 23/09/2009 18:52

Oh no, lots of blue faces flying around. Prayers for to turn to soon!

Prayers for you Mary, for peace with the situation and wisdom for God's plan for your future - God's plan will work out far better than our plans!

Prayers for you SHR. Such a hard situation for you to be in. No words to say, just prayers and be assured of them!!
