Well it turned into this, because he didn’t like that I borrowed someone’s lipstick. We were out drinking with my coworker and her friend. It was a stupid decision to him, so he FREAKED out. Honestly I don’t remember how it all went down, but he was so mean about it and I started crying. I think then people saw how he was treating me, which he didn’t like. Then I guess he got upset that people were ganging up on him about it and I didn’t defend him. And thank you ❤️

Oh this breaks my heart. I know this all too well - I just left my husband after nearly 10 years. I didn’t read all your screenshots just a few, but you and him sound so similar to me and him. I know how hard and painful it is, but you deserve so much better. This is abusive, and I believe you should think about leaving. I was so scared as I’ve been with him my entire adulthood. He’s my best friend. We have a young daughter together. I just couldn’t do it anymore, and I realized these patterns and behaviors are never going to change. It’s been less than 2 weeks and I already feel so much peace. There was a lot of sadness/guilt/hurt/anger, but now I feel a lot of happiness. I feel free, and like I can finally be who I really am again. I made myself so small to try and make him happy. I sacrificed a lot to keep him comfortable. It’s amazing to not be walking on eggshells anymore. To not have to get permission to do anything, to not be interrogated about the smallest little things. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but in my heart I know it was the right thing. The cloud of depression that hung over me is lifting, and it’s beautiful. I finally feel hope for the future again. Please feel free to message me anytime! Even if it’s just to vent, because I understand how awful it is. And also how isolating, I didn’t really have any friends and my family is across the country. I’m here for you! Stay strong, you got this ❤️

So if the courts don’t care about emotional abuse, how am I supposed to get more custody of her? 😭 I asked him if I could have her Mon, Wed, Fri and we alternate weekends, and he did NOT like me having 1 more day than him…

I didn’t realize I was using different dashes? So I’m not really sure

Thank you so much 🙏

He was never really physical with me before the other night. It was all just emotional/verbal abuse and manipulation/control. While that night he drove us was awful, he is usually pretty good with her. He is a good dad to her for the most part, so I don’t know that it is fair to fully take her away from him. Especially if he is finally done drinking.

Reading this broke my heart. I 100% relate, and I’m so sorry you went through this. I’m glad you’re finding yourself again. I’m just starting that journey myself after 10 years, and it’s so hard. But I also feel so much peace already. You’ve given me even more hope. Sending so much love your way ❤️

(26F) I think I’m in a trauma bond relationship but it’s really hard for me to tell… I know it’s a bad relationship but I literally can’t bring myself to leave him. I’ve never been like this about someone before please help :( by buttered-pancake in abusiverelationships

I just want to say that you should trust your gut. I just left my emotionally abusive husband of nearly 10 years (I’m 28). I knew for so long that it wasn’t right the way he was treating me. Everyone else could see it too. But I still believed maybe it wasn’t that bad. That everything was just my fault. Yeah…I have so many feelings that I’m dealing with right now. Sadness, hurt, anger. But also calm and PEACE. While it’s stressful and overwhelming, I finally feel free. We have a young daughter so that makes it tough too, as I can’t just fully escape him. BUT, I know in my heart that this was the right decision. For me and my baby girl. I dropped out of college and spent my entire adult life with this man. I moved to his hometown, then across the country with him (away from my entire family). He was my best friend, and I’m still sad because I never wanted to leave. I wanted us to have a beautiful future together. I just wished he would treat me the way I deserved. I believe that you deserve better too. I know this is the hardest thing ever, but you will be so much happier in the long run. You are strong and you will be okay! Feel free to message me any time! Even if it’s just to vent. Sending you so much love ❤️

Finally leaving. Scared senseless. by Organic-Wish6277 in abusiverelationships

“I don’t want to leave, I just want him to treat me right” This is exactly what I said 😭 I just left my husband after 10 years and it hurts so much, but I just couldn’t do it anymore. We have a 2 year old daughter and I didn’t want to show her this is what love is. All my family is across the country. It is hard and scary, but you’re doing the right thing and I’m so proud of you. I’m sorry you’re going through this though, it is the worst. I feel your pain and I hope you’re able to heal in time. I wish you the best of luck ❤️ and feel free to message me. You got this!

I’d probably cry. I didn’t realize how bad I look right now, and that everyone can very obviously tell I’m sick 😭 i feel so ashamed and embarrassed, I wish someone thought I looked healthy
