Hi there, never posted anything on here before. I just wanted to get opinions from others, although I think I might already know the answer .
I'm a mum of three youngish children, married for five years. Husband always like things done his way and has always had a bit of a temper but mostly okay.
Recently, however, he has changed. He criticises me daily, it can be for small things like not washing up properly ect. He is very negative about my job as it doesn't pay well (£18.
5k) he tells me that I have no ambition in life (I love my job!) and that it isn't fair that he has to be the main earner. He wants to move into a brand new house, I'd be happy staying where we are but he doesn't want that. He blames me for us not being able to afford it as I'm in a low paid job. I want to stay close to family and friends but he would be willing to move to another country. He doesn't have any friends and he doesn't see his family nor does he make any effort to see them. He has told me that I need to think about what I want to do, wether we stay together or separate as we want different things. I think it's an ultimatum either I move where he wants or he will leave. He has openly said no one else will put up with him the way I do and if we separate he will be alone for the rest of his life. I catch him looking at other women much slimmer than me which makes me feel hurt. I have told him how it makes me feel and asked him not to do it when he is with me but he tells me every man does it and he will not stop. Its making me feel rubbish, I try my absolute best to look after him and the kids and I feel that whatever I do will never be good enough. Thanks for listening it feels good to have expressed how I am feeling.
