Partner is horrible to me

I don't know what I want from this thread, I'm just so sad and want to vent. Been with DP for 12 years, one DC aged 3.5. Relationship has completely eroded. For a few years now we've just coasted with the occasional big argument, but recently it's like the mask has come off and he is just so horrible to me, all the time. Swears at me everyday and as a matter of cause. Fuck off, piss off, fuck you, shut the fuck up. Gives me the finger all the time. Calls me names: bitch, cunt, horrible person, vile, evil, moron, idiot. But worse than all of these he just finds me extremely annoying. I'll say something completely normal and he just explodes at me. Today alone I have been told, with aggression and real feeling: you're exhausting, I can't deal with you. Button it. Stop fucking yammering away in my earhole. You're so fucking annoying. Why the fuck are you like this. You're a wind up merchant. You're a fucking liar. All of this over me saying normal things about a trip we were planning. He then made dinner and didn't make any for me. Told me to go the fuck downstairs and I was obsessed with him when I tried to go to bed at a similar time to him.

I feel so upset because every stage of this process I was initially shocked, then made the decision that I could live like this for the next 15 years for sake of DC. And then it gets worse! And I have to decide all over again. I decided I could live with someone who was indifferent to me. Then with someone who dislikes me. Then with someone who hates me. And now I have to live with someone who hates me and finds me annoying and is happy to let me know, all the time. When will it end? What is the next stage? He knows I'll leave it he hits me, so it won't be that.

I used to meticulously write it all down and I've just stopped, there's no point. It would be easier to write down the things he says to me that aren't horrible.

Ts is horrific.

I am so sorry. You are worn down and eroded and crushed by this treatment.

What an absolutely vile man.

I know that it is so hard when you're abused like this for so long to muster up the confidence and courage but please, go and see a solicitor.

And start documenting and even recording him when he abuses you.

This is a shitty man. I can't believe he's a good father if he treats anyone like this. He's a. A user.

He might indeed make up stuff about you. Let him. If it is all lies then it will be established as such.

But for your sake, your dcs' sakes ( they will be aware), for your safety - it only ever gets worse - please divorce him.

I have been where you are only my ex got physically violent as well as verbally violent.

You deserve at the very very least to be safe. And yes, you deserve to be happy.

Just read you're not married. Even better.

And the advice about letting him believe you enjoy child free days and have plans is excellent. He will enjoy thinking he's spoiling your life.

Start quietly recording his rants.

You're actually planning a HOLIDAY with this creature?
Hopefully there'll be high cliffs and you can push him over one.

😌 I know when it was. Still wanted to reach out. I knew on mumsnet but only trying to send my love a faith to like minded females like ourselves. ♥️ I do hope summersaddness? Is ok. X

Haven't read all the thread but I will go back.

I know this might not be a reply you want to read. It'll be horrible

But my friends sister lived like this for years. Young DC

Now her young DC don't have their mother, because he murdered her in a fit of rage

Please get yourself out. For your child's sake.

Reading this is the exact same as my relationship. I am called names daily such as a cunt, a slag, a bad mother and the list goes on.
i am also physically abused often usually after he has been drinking and I forgive him time and time again, I have tried to leave the relationship but always come back because I love him - I’m aware this sounds pathetic

Any advice would be great :(

You have children who are growing up around this?

Leave again. Put DC first. Don’t go back this time. You can’t possibly love this man. You’re in love with some idea of who you think he is or with being in a relationship. Or you’re scared to be single.

Don’t let DC grow up hearing men abuse women like this. And wonder why you never made a better life for them and you.

Speak to woman’s aid and start planning for a better future.
