    Leave the !!!!!!!. Or at least tell him to start treating you better or you will.

    Maybe there's stuff going on in his life that you don't know about that might explain - but not excuse - his behaviour. Maybe he doesn't realise what he's doing.

    Either way, you two need to talk about what he's doing, why he's doing it, and how it makes you feel.

    It doesn't sound like much of a marriage to me, so why waste your time with him when you'd be happier on your own, if not with someone else?
    This sad feeling came on last night. I felt it again at 5pm todsy. What am I doing staying with a man who has made me feel like cr*p since lord knows when? I am for the first time able to get away. Didn't want to split up with son etc and had no money before. I am scared tho. Scared it won't work out, scared I will run out of money, not get a job because I have been a stay at home mum and off work due to ill health and having to endure being bought down by him on top.

    Whenever I have worked, he always spoils it for me when I come home, not do his share around the house and be distant when I would expect him to be close. He talks about us going into business together and the thought fills me with horror as he will treat me badly to the point of not being able to function.

    I know I am capable and all I wanted from our marriage was to feel cherished, him do his share around the house and feel wanted. Most of the time I stay in my room to avoid him because he makes me so miserable. I feel too miserable to make and keep friends, so I feel I will never meet anyone who will treat me well.

    (((((big hugs))))) ccstar, you really sound down tonight, if your oh makes you feel like this and dosen't support you, i think you will be better off alone, nobody deserves to be treated like this, its emotional abuse. you should't have to hide away in your room. i know how you feel, i just wanna be loved too, but i seem to end up with the wrong ones, so i'm staying single nobody to upset and hurt me anymore
    big hugs

    !!!!!!!! to meeting anyone. Make a point of being and staying single. Learn to be happy with yourself first, then you won't need someone else to treat you well to feel worth something. Staying with someone who treats you this badly means one thing - low self esteem. It's a vicious circle though. You put up with it because you've got low self esteem, and the more he treats you like this, the worse it gets.

    *hugs*

    Be strong. Also, the situation's not doing your son any good. Get out of there, for both your sakes.

I think the people at work think im some kinda superwoman, they got me doing everthing, oh rosie can do it, well they can f off if they think im gonna stand for it much longer, tho today my manager said can you do this, and we came to a compromise :T, so its ok, still stressful as ever, the store in wrexham has closed down so we gettin all there clothes, but guess whose the one that has to unpack, hang, tag, and do the paperwork for all that, ....yep me. 45 boxes yesterday, good job im going to the gym :rotfl:, trying to carry boxes prob half my body weight, not ideal, massive boxes, health and safety .....alarms lol , hope your ok , xxx

    WEll im off out tonight, i have managed not to eat chocolate, crisps, biscuits or well that kinda thing in 2 months, :eek:, but the only thing i cant do without is drink :D. So off on a all night bender :rotfl:, i have a feelin i will be the one carrying my mates home tho:rotfl:, im trying to think if i look ok, i always feel fat in what i wear, but ya know if people dont liek it stuff em :rotfl:, i need a drink and no one gonna get in my way :rotfl:

    I have tried to talk and all he can see his me attacking him - typical, I don't get any consideration and made to feel the bad guy - again:(. I have taken 26 years of feeling unloved by him and the more things that go wrong, the more I wonder why I am staying. I deserve more happiness than I get and got. I feel I will look back and wonder what I have got from life and see that I have stayed in my room to avoid my OH because I feel unloved and hurt by him. It sounds sick writing it. My son left home a year ago.

    you say you have felt unloved for 26 years, did you really feel unloved in those early days? and if so, then you have certainly tried to make the marriage work, and maybe now its time to spend some time looking after yourself, making sure you are happy
    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)

    Evening all, I shall reply to others shortly, but be patient, Britney's in hospital again, bless her, and I have a headache, so i'm not having a good day :rolleyes: My replies may be very morbid :rolleyes:

    I also have some PM's to reply too, which I hope to get around too at some point.
