We have been married for 24 years. Married quite young and my husband has been physically abusive towards me before and after marriage. I continued nonetheless believing it was my fault etc. He stopped physically abusing me physically 2-3 years after our marriage. But I have been financially dependent on him ever since.
We have a teenage daughter who has thankfully never witnessed him being physically abusive towards me but we do have major arguments in front of her for various (silly) reasons. I try my best not to lose my temper but soMetimes I just can’t take it.
We now have a 4 month old baby. We are new to this country. My husband has taken up a hobby and is out on two evenings in a week for practice and the entire Saturday for playing matches. He often goes for another sport too one weekday evening. Then he’s generally exhausted on Sundays and wants to relax.
I am feeling alienated in this place now and don’t have many friends around.
Today morning we had a small argument and he threw his mobile phone on the bed. My 4 month old baby boy was on the bed but he didn’t hit it at him. I am not sure whether I Should report this to someone because what if the phone had hit my tiny baby! There was no reason for him to have such an outburst. At that moment I didn’t think too much of it but now I feel I should do something.
My daughter was using her headphones so she’s completely oblivious but she’s a smart, intuitive child and she knows something’s up.
I don’t know what to do and hence I am rambling here. If anyone has any suggestions about whether I should report this to someone please let me know.
