Evening all, this is my first post and would like some advice please. I am living in an awful situation and I’m so worried about the affect it is having on my children. They are 11 and 8.
My husband is behaving extremely badly in front of them. I am no longer interested in sex with him and the rejection is making him crazy mad. I can’t go into the bathroom without him following me in to get a glance of me, be it on the toilet or in the bath, he is always there, I’ve asked him numerous times to respect my privacy but he just ignores me and says i took a vow and I’m his wife and he is entitled to look at me if that’s all he can get. It’s literally making me feel violated and so uncomfortable, the kids are in their bedrooms and hear me asking him to stay out and he just says oops I didn’t know you were there. Now it’s getting worse and he can’t walk by me without touching me in private areas, I’m literally crying writing this as I’m feeling so stressed and trapped. Even the weekend when enjoying the sun our daughter said dad said dad stop looking at mum like that as he was literally stood over me looking at me inappropriately. The stress is causing me to get angry and shout and I don’t want to do that as it’s not making the kids feel secure in their own home. He has flipped out tonight over not being able to find something and stormed into the room whilst me and the kids were watching a lovely film and started tearing the room apart looking for it, he then turned the tv off and was going mental at me, my 11 year old squared up to him and then got really upset. I threatened to call the police to make him stop but it didn’t change a thing. I’ve had enough and don’t know what to do, lockdown is making this so much harder, this has been going on for years though. What can I do?
