I have to keep it fairly short but I'm pretty sure it is abuse.

Started years ago. We've been married ten years with kids. Main examples are checking messages, interrogating, sulking, not letting me sleep when I need to/ waking me to ask questions, accusations of affairs with no basis in reality. Name calling eg bitch, moron, idiot. If I disagree with his view I'm a looser, an idiot and I get told to fuck off.
Mood swings are rapid so I'm never sure whether it's Jekyll or Hyde I'll get. My stomach churns constantly and I'm anxious and get tearful. He's intelligent, charming and very very well liked. He hates my family and has been so rude to them ( them only) and so he's iscolated me geographically and socially from them. I feel like a shadow of my old self. I don't know how to move forward. I keep hoping he'll change. Can he? When he's nice all sign of previous nastiness goes away. But it always comes back. He has a look on his face and I know it's going to kick off again. Almost a sneering look of pleasure. Need to do something as I'm becoming ill now
