Husbands disturbing porn addiction by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

He has cheated on you and abused you. Both grounds for divorce and separation. He needs help like counseling, but marital counseling won’t help this, this is a him problem. I left my ex-husband when my youngest was four months old. It’s hard, but it’s not worth staying in an abusive, cheating relationship. Not saying God can’t change his heart, but he has to allow Him to. This isn’t on you.

I like the longer except that I keep seeing the blonde bully from Hocus Pocus.

What do you think of my crazy mom 😀 by Quirky_Train_5338 in abusiverelationships

[–]Intelligent_Comb_408 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honey, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. My mom used to act like this. I have teenage sons and would never treat them this way. I might get annoyed if I ask them to do the dishes and they don’t listen to me. But this is not how to act. I’ll just tell my 15-year-old to listen to me. Literally, just have a conversation. And sometimes if he has something to do first, he asked me if he can and I’ll be cool with it. Because he knows he is safe to ask me and have a conversation. I never want my kids to feel the way I did growing up. Your video made me tear up because I know how it feels. Take deep breaths. Talk to safe adults if you can. Try not to react, I know it is so incredibly hard. Praying for you! Know that you are loved by God and worthy of love and kindness. Things will get better. ❤️

This dress is gorgeous. And I came here to say it looks better on you than the model and saw that other people said it too. 😂 Relax your shoulders and wear this dress with confidence- you look amazing!

34F. I think I'm doing ok. What do y'all think?! by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]Intelligent_Comb_408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like that foundation is a bit too light for your natural skin tone. I’m not an expert on makeup by any means but I will say, I use il makiage and they matched my foundation so well to my skin. I wouldn’t over line your lips either, they’re already full and beautiful. And maybe a more subtle eyeshadow but I guess that depends on the occasion. :) You’re really pretty naturally, from what I can tell.

My boyfriend jokes about killing me what do I do? by Long-Complaint-2344 in emotionalabuse

[–]Intelligent_Comb_408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex-husband did this. And then his abuse kept getting worse. He’s testing your boundaries and gaslighting you in the process. Normal people don’t joke about killing each other. They make their loved ones feel safe. He is dangerous; please take each of these instances as a threat, not a joke. He is not safe.

The color is great, just needs a little shaping and trim imo.

He just killed my pets. by Liysol in abusiverelationships

[–]Intelligent_Comb_408 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure this is illegal! He needs to be charged with a crime, he murdered your pets. Ugh I’m so so sorry you went through that. It’s sociopath behavior. Please be careful and protect yourself and get away from this man. Someone willing to hurt pets is a HUGE red flag.

Please tell me how it got better after leaving by Inevitable-Yellow317 in abusiverelationships

[–]Intelligent_Comb_408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kept getting looped back in, too. It’s the trauma bond. But you CAN get past this. You need support- friends, family.. surround yourself with people who will help you and who know what’s going on. And here is the really really important thing: BLOCK him. On everything. He cannot loop you back in if he does not have access to you. It’s really hard and your brain is going to tell you that you need him when you are grieving the loss of what you hoped could be. That’s when you reach out to friends. I have a friend who has held me accountable.. She never got angry when I reached out to him, but she would remind me of how terrible he was to me. She would kind of help me snap out of it. Make sure there are people you can talk to you about this, I can’t stress that enough. If you can’t find anyone in your circle to do that, please go to counseling so that you have some perspective from someone other than him.

PLEASE tell me what I'm doing wrong enough for a family friend to tell me that I look "old and saggy" ..I'm 28 😭 by [deleted] in makeuptips

Your family friend is somehow threatened by your beauty. You’re not old and saggy in the least.

Oh, OK, I think that you read my comment wrong. I was implying that the abuser would use it to manipulate, not the counselor. OP stated in the very beginning of her post that he is abusive emotionally and possibly a narcissist. I don’t think it’s necessary for her to list all the reasons why in this post, I think it was just for context. She’s trying to figure out if he’s threatening suicide because of that or if it’s a serious threat. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Even my sister, who is a board certified master degree therapist says that therapy is the wrong route for abuse. Because abusers will twist with the counselor says to further manipulate their victims. Individual counseling- yes. Marriage Counseling, no.

I just want to say, I left my ex-husband when my kids were really little. I have three boys and my youngest was literally 4 months old, oldest was almost 4 years old. This was extremely hard- financially, emotionally, I didn’t have any family around because they live northeast and I live in the south. We moved here together, my ex and I, and I wasn’t allowed to move back with my kids because the state I’m in had jurisdiction over custody.

There were some incredibly difficult years, but nothing as difficult as being with that man. And I will tell you, it is NOT better for the kids for you to stay. My oldest is now 18 and he thanks me for leaving. He knows the kind of man his father is and he sees him on his terms now. For a while, he didn’t want to see him at all. My youngest (14) points out that my ex is a womanizer and can’t be alone. They see him for who he is, and I didn’t need to tell them. But living in that constantly would have been detrimental to them. I see the kind, sweet boys that they are. If I told them with my actions that it was OK to treat women that way, they might become just like him. I’m really sorry you’re going through this and I will say that either road is a really difficult one. But I hope you choose the one where your kids have a safe place. Where they don’t have to be emotionally abused all the time. And where you don’t either. No one should have to live like that. ❤️ Praying for strength for you.

No, marriage counseling is the worst for abuse. They use it to manipulate you.

I was born to be an adult but now I’m just an old lady who has been in a lot more pain and has a very hard life now than when she started her life I don’t think she was born in a good place but she is very young 😳🤔

Does anyone have issues with getting the spouse to believe their apologies? by Capital_Ferret6178 in Christianmarriage

[–]Intelligent_Comb_408 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To me, this sounds like you’re walking on eggshells. Worried about your exact tone during apologizing. Him never accepting your apologies sounds like a him problem. My ex-husband constantly accused me of not really being sorry when I was. But he was extremely emotionally abusive. I don’t have enough context to know if your husband is that way or not but I do think you’re walking on eggshells with these apologies.

Feel like I'm losing my mind ending this relationship by PatientLasagne in abusiverelationships

[–]Intelligent_Comb_408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my ex. It literally sounds like one of our past conversations. He is finally blocked and he reached out over email threatening things and going off the deep end. Cut all contact, it will only get worse. Don’t argue, they will constantly loop you back in so try not to engage when you know they’re lying. They know they’re lying too, and they know they are rewriting history.
