I desperately need some advice and feel like I've got nowhere to turn.
My relationship with my husband is awful. His family have been horrible to me for most of our relationship.
We recently had an argument and since then my husband has hardly spoke to me.
His mother is vile. A complete narcissist. He cannot see this. She is out of order and was shouting at me a few weeks ago while I sat and cried. My husband sat there during this and wouldn't leave when I asked him to. I didn't want to argue and wanted to go home but he wouldn't leave until we had "sorted things out".
Now 3 weeks have passed and he has not came near me once in these 3 weeks. He will happily play nice and pretend everything is fine but if I try and talk to him about things he just gets angry. Blames me for the problems. Thinks I'm the one causing all the issues because I answer his mother back instead of letting her walk all over me like she does with him.
We are both suffering with depression. I am on anti depressants for mine. He is in denial about his.
I am at my wits end with our relationship. Every evening we sit in the same room and he ignores me. It's sold detroying. I feel like he is being petty and stupid punishing me for upsetting his mother. It feels like she is more important than me.
We have been together 10 years and I have a long history with his mother over stepping the mark and being horrible to me.
We have two kids together. When he tries he's a wonderful dad. But when he doesn't he is shit. Wants to sit with his head in the sand. Snaps at everyone for no reason.
Someone please help. I don't know what to do. I can't continue like this anymore. I live very far from all my family in the part of the country his family live. I have no one to support me. I'm terrified of being alone but cannot keep living like this. Help.
