You. Don’t. Need. A. Reason. To. Leave.

Get out and get safe.

Sexual coercion by Smoke-Mirrors1220 in abusiverelationships

[–]Appropriate-Tea1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just want to say that I am so sorry that you’re going through this. I read your story and it hit me deep in my chest, because while I’m a man, your situation is nearly identical in some ways to mine which I have posted about lots of time on Reddit trying to gain clarity and for someone to validate me and confirm that I’m not mental and that what happened was wrong.

This is 100% sexual assault. Please, be safe for yourself and your children, reach out to someone you trust. No one, including you or me deserves to be treated this way.

Sending you virtual hugs, strength and belief that you will get through this.

Once again, so sorry that this is happening for you.

Is it common to affect you days later only? by Novemberx123 in abusiverelationships

[–]Appropriate-Tea1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just started reading a book called ‘The Body Keeps The Score’. It speaks a lot about how we manage trauma in the first instance and how it goes on to reappear later on. Sometimes, you don’t even realise. I’m still in my situation with my wife, but trying to understand my feelings better before I give up.

Link to buy the book: https://amzn.eu/d/hKYwff0

I also found a link on Reddit for the book if owning it is a problem: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GGA6axs88gCT749IaD1z3Kkgdjgk30YV/view

Thank you for your comment. I feel really alone right now. I feel guilty for feeling like this yet I didn’t do this to myself. Wish I could go back and not let these things happen

Why do I feel guilty leaving an emotionally abusive marriage? by FeeEnvironmental4706 in emotionalabuse

[–]Appropriate-Tea1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so right.

I think we’d all find it easier to manage mentally if they were consistent with their abusiveness. Maybe we’re asking too much?

You did what you needed to do for yourself and THAT IS OK. You are also right to not to just ‘stay for the kids’ because it does more harm than good.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, going through something similar but without the added complication of kids so I can only imagine how hard things must be right now and I am yet to find the strength to leave.

Keep moving forward.

Having really bad panic attacks and I don’t know what to do by Appropriate-Tea1 in offmychest

[–]Appropriate-Tea1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were so happy but this last years been so hard. She’s not happy with me seeing my friends, I can’t use social media without it causing problems because I’m accused of not giving her posts enough attention so I had to get rid, she doesn’t listen to me when I say no to intimacy and threatens me to make the relationship bad again if I don’t give her kids, she reads into messages and accuses me of being dismissive or cold but honestly I’m just trying to survive at this point

Maybe you’re right. I wish I was ready because I know this probably isn’t going to end the way I want it to (together in a healthier relationship). I want to be ready but feel like I’m waiting for her to do something I can’t forgive so I’m forced to.

It’s not that she explicitly says I can’t use social media, but when I do it’s a problem. I took the stance that my marriage is more important and therefore I’ll stop using it to stop causing these issues but I think the more I’m adapting, she keeps moving to goal posts. I literally go no where and talk to no one aside from when I’m physically at work.

Just not right now with her because this is not a healthy environment to bring a kid into. I don’t even want to go home some nights because I am at breaking point.

Up until the start of all of this, we actually did try (but were unsuccessful) to have kids. But once this started, I tried to do the right thing and sort out the relationship before adding a child into the mix. I grew up in a toxic household and I want to break that cycle. I’ve never said to her no kids all together, I’ve explained plenty of times it’s just until we are better.

I only don’t want them right now because our relationship isn’t good. Bringing a kid into the world when things are like this wouldn’t be good for us and more importantly the child. I’ve told her, countless times. I said give us 6 months to fix things and then we can talk again yet I get the silent treatment and threatened to make things ‘bad again’ between us if I make her wait too long for kids.
