My relationship with my husband is horrendous. We’ve been together for 20+ years. It is toxic and I can’t think of a time when it’s been good. Today, I have endured 12 hours of him harassing me, verbally abusing me, shouting at me and following me round the house. I was working from home and on a tight deadline but he has literally bullied me for 12 hours straight. He’s come back from a run to say he wants to talk about ending things and I said not tonight after todays hell (I’ve not eaten and feel ill) but let’s do it Thurs when I’m off. He continued with verbal abuse.
my youngest (5) still sleeps in our bed and my husband has just come into the room in the dark and threw a cup of water over me. It covered me, the bed and my son. I feel so bad for my boy.
The relationship is over but I’m so scared about my future. I work part time and there’s no way I could afford a mortgage or rent in this economic environment. Could I make him leave the home? It’s joint mortgage. I feel like his emotional abuse has had a negative effect on my confidence and mental health that I’m scared I’ll crumble.
