I asked DH to leave a couple of weeks ago.
He always had a tendency to be controlling but the older he got the worse he got.
He was financially so controlling - wouldn't let me work, wouldn't let me have a car, would shout at me for not understanding things he did (I just am not as clever as he is) so I wouldn't ask and then I wouldn't know.
He was physically intimidating in front of the children.
Sexually he wouldn't take no for an answer - this was the worst part really.
He was horrible to my friends, meaning I had none left.
Gosh. Anyway, I have to explain with regards to DH - he is hugely damaged himself (as a result I think of losing both parents very suddenly as a teenager - horrible traffic fatality) and after initial HORRIBLE behaviour from him he is now saying he will do anything - counselling, whatever it takes, to get me and the children back.
I have to admit I am in two minds.
Part of me thinks if I was reading this I'd be thinking "no!" but another part wonders if it could work - I do still care for him, in a way.
We have two children and a third due in the summer.
