Not sure what just happened

I'm not sure what just happened and am posting this so I don't feel quite so alone right now.

My husband was lying on top of me (fully clothed, just cuddling). He is much heavier than me and after a short while it started to hurt so I asked him to get off of me but he completely ignored me.

After several more times of me politely asking him to get off of me and him refusing, I started to cry out of sheer frustration. He just laughed at me and told me there's no reason to cry but whilst still refusing to get up. He then started to continuously tap my face with his finger and ask me 'why do you need to cry? Stop crying over nothing'. He also wiped his nose on my face twice. I was still crying as I felt quite degraded, as silly as that may seem.

He eventually rolled to the side and I got up. He was annoyed at this point and asked me what was wrong with me and I snapped 'I don't like you'. I admit this may have been wrong of me but I meant I didn't like the way he behaved in that moment.

Well, now he is livid and has told me to pack my bags and get out or go and sleep in the spare room (we don't own a home together, we live with his family as they have a traditional extended Indian family set up). We sold my car last year and agreed that we would share his but now he has stated that I'm not allowed to take it so I can't even go anywhere. I feel so stupid.

I feel so upset but I don't know if this was all my fault, he has certainly made me feel like it is. We've only been married for a year and normally we are good but I just feel anxious now.

Thank you if you have read my post. It was a bit pointless I suppose but I don't have anyone else to tell. I don't want to tell my mother as it's just embarrassing.

Hooray, that's fantastic. I hope your stomach churning is replaced with support from your friends and family and ultimately relief. So great to hear you found the courage to do it. Flowers

Well done OP I was so relieved to see you had left Flowers

I'm so relieved to read your update; I'm so glad you've left! Men like him only get worse. Please don't ever go back to him. He doesn't respect you and that certainly won't improve if you go back to him. Flowers

You need to leave. Please divorce.

redastherose · 30/06/2020 00:56

Well done OP. There is nothing to be ashamed about divorcing an abusive prick and that is what your husband is make no mistake.

Well done - you have bravely done the right thing for you.
He isn't changing yet, is he?
He won't. Now you can live your life.

Courtney555 · 30/06/2020 07:44

OP I've just read the thread and I'm so proud of you for leaving. It will be the best decision you've ever made xx

He’s shown you what he’s capable of, he’s shown you how he thinks it’s ok to treat you. Stay with him and expect more, possibly an escalation in the humiliation of you. By staying you’re saying this is ok with you.
Please get back to your Mum and safety, this man sounds hideously vile. Good luck

WishICouldThinkOfAGoodName · 30/06/2020 13:43

Well done OP, that was brave and here’s to a happy future for you. Flowers

I'm glad you have got out @Justkeepswimming95

Just ensure your husband cannot access any of your finances (ie change your passwords on bank bank accounts or shopping sites. Also change the password on your email so he can't access itv remotely. If your salary gets paid into an account he can access get that changed ASAP with your HR/Payroll team. Good luck!
