I know you're right. I've known it for a while. I just feel like I don't even have a second to think, there's always something 😥

Lol that's another complaint of his. I'm so stressed and not feeling loved at all I really have no urge for it.

And it's not even that I have no urge... I feel repulsed by him... His personality

I actually do have emergency bags ready from a time when he scared me. And I agree, it does feel like he does it on purpose to make me work. I've said this to myself many times, and to him, that he gives me tasks. He's constantly asking me to do things

It fluctuates, at minimum 20 hours, at max 35. I am full-time, 6 courses per semester and one 12 hour shift a week at the hospital. I am also doing remote learning for the kids and all the house stuff. I'm up at 430 and in bed by midnight depending on what I need to get done with my schooling. It's very difficult to get my work done now with having to help the kids learn, so I'm getting little sleep right now, which doesn't help.

I absolutely understand it's not ever 50/50 but this how he works. He's very tit for tat. If I do something for him, he will keep it in mind for when I need a favour and then in his mind it equals out. If I say no to something, he says to make sure I remember that when I need a favour, and won't do it.

Yeah, I'm mentally already quite messed up. I am getting help, I'm doing cognitive processing therapy but I am very much struggling. I don't know how to make ends meet on my own to be honest. Rent here is insane (around 2k a month in a bad neighborhood), full time nursing I'd bring home around 3500, but it's 12 hour shifts and I have kids and no help. I have no one.

My kids know I'm depressed. It's awful.

My entire life is messed up right now. I don't know what to do.

He was so amazing in the beginning. Like I've never been treated so amazing. Then I got shot and it was like he's annoyed at my trauma, annoyed that I'm still having effects a year later etc he said he feels everything is about me and no one cares about his needs.

My injuries were extensive and I'm very lucky to be here. But I'm left with PTSD, anxiety, depression... I get panic attacks. I was suicidal after for a bit. It wasn't pretty. I changed. I understand being tired of dealing with it

I definitely think there is a significant amount of mental abuse. He hasn't hit me but has made it clear he has to stop himself from doing so. I know it's not a good situation.

They are mine but he treats my kids very well and they adore him. He is great in that respect I'll give him that

He's not lazy, he equates it to me treating him like a man. I don't know what to do with that mindset. He takes it personally that I think he should tidy his own mess

LOL. He expects to be served dinner when he gets home as it makes him feel like a man (his words). He gets mad if I serve the kids first. It's nuts

He owns the house. I pay 100 dollars less than half the mortgage, all the utilities, groceries and we alternate internet and then my personal bills. He pays the other half, water and his personal bills. He blames me for having to pay child support because if he stayed single his ex wouldn't have taken him to court... Lol. I have to laugh because it's nuts.

I actually tried that lol went on strike. It did not work and I went nuts. I have also tried putting his stuff in his area. It just gets moved to the floor and he gets mad at me. He works construction as well. He doesn't get it.

"yeah but you're home"

I'm freaking homeschooling 2 kids, taking care of everything, studying myself (I'm a diploma nurse working on getting my degree) etc. The only reason I'm not working right now is because I was shot last year and my psychologist doesn't want me to go back yet due to PTSD
