    Indeed!

    We had a friend whose husband was not a nice man, but he could put on a very good act when required. She ended up sectioned, where the staff thought she had a 'model' husband. We all felt she'd have been better off with a real one ... or none at all.
    That is scary. I have felt nuts in my time too and done things I am too ashamed to mention on here due to feeling so miserable. I worked in a mental home and realised I was OK really.

    Don't worry. I can't reply to half the people on the other thread. I am packing and running a house, which is taking my energy.

    Maybe if he were a better husband then you would not be ill!
    I fully agree there. Misery makes you ill and incapacitated.

  • Feely someone might have already said it but I'm a lazy sod! ;)

    Why don't you start applying for what you are entitled to now? It might give you a little something behind you to get yourself sorted when you leave? :confused:

    I believe that the least that you would be entitled to - if nothing else - is half the rise in the value of the property since you were married.
    If you are unable to work because of a disability there may possibly be an element of spousal maintenance as well.
    You need to seek some legal advice.
    No reliance should be placed on the above.

    Abuse does not have to be physical to be abuse.

    Do you think he will be physically abusive if you force him to face the issues and say you are thinking of leaving?

    Even if he won't come with you, you can go to Relate on your own, and they might also help you work out where to go next.

    That is a good idea.

    My husband shouted and ranted whenever I brought up any of his faults at our joint session at Relate, yet I had to take any criticism about me which I took on board, if it was true. He does that when I try to discuss things at home. I don't know how FG husband reacts but shouting and ranting isn't pleasant.

    He doesn't do anything to me, if i was a batter wife it'd be ok
    if i wasn't ill, things would better
    It takes two to make a marriage. I was thinking that for years. He has to do his share of making it happy too!

    Its not that much shouting. Well, there is some, but mainly is the guilt trips, rolling his eyes, sighing, ignoring me, putting me down, bringing things fromt he past up etc
