Some of you know my situation, and seen MeV on here before. I thank you all for your support it's helped me so much to LTB. I've started divorce proceedings. DH has developed a softly spoken baby lamb persona, which I've not seen before. He's asked me to stop proceedings and to wait 6 months. He has been verbally emotionally and psychologically abusive. Exanples refusing to take me to hospital when pregnant, when forced by midwife, swore at me the whole way, raging at me when I have said I didn't feel like attending a social event, expecting sex on tap - telling me that compared to other women I'm weird when I say no, also telling me I'm mentally unstable and have therefore made this all up it never really happened.
He has now said for the first time that he did do all those things, is ashamed of himself, and totally accepts he let me down. He wants to see a counsellor to understand why do he stops this behaviour for good. So much bad stuff has happened my trust and respect for him are totally messed up. There's a tiny 1% of me that wonders if I should listen to him an wait, whilst I actually rationally know it will not change. Last week he became aggressive pointing and shouting telling me what to do, for the first time I told him not to dare speak to me like that followed by go fuck yourself, and walked away. I started feeling confused about whether this is just another manipulation tactic? How can I tell if it's real or not? Thank you beautiful ladies.
