Ive been married for 10 years. For the first few years my husband would regularly hit me, the last time he did it he split my eye open and I required hospital treatment. He has not hit me since but he speaks to me in a a pretty unpleasant way. Nothing I seem to do is ever good enough, our lives would be better if I had a different job etc. basically there is always something. Regularly I get woken during by the night to be told I've not done something and how stupid I am.
We have two children and he is lovely to them, believe me I he ever spoke to them the way he speaks to me I would leave. The children adore him and for all his hideousness to me he is a good father to them.
Before Xmas I sent a friend request on Facebook to an ex, I know I probably shouldn't have done this!
Anyway he was delighted to hear from me, we broke up because his visa ran out and he had to go home to the States. At the time I was gutted.
We kept in touch but eventually I moved a lot and lost touch with him.
Anyway instantly he replied saying he'd been back 3 times looking for me in the last 17 yrs and how he never forgot me. This man has made me feel so loved, we talk several times a day and he tell me he loves me and is willing to give up his life over there and come here and take care of me and my children. I have really fallen for him again, our relationship was really lovely all those yrs ago.
I'm sorry this is such a long post, I'm just so confused and
petrified about what to do. Do I leave my husband for this man? I just want to know if anyone else has had a similar experience.
I am so concerned how this will affect my children, I know having an scared mum is probably already affecting them. I'm just terrified of how it's all going to kick off if I leave.
