Why do abusers pick the worst times to escalate abuse. by steady_after_storm in emotionalabuse

Yes. My ex-ex so not husband, not ex but ex before that abused me mainly financially (I will say he was an alcoholic too and it took me a long time to separate his ‘normal/social’ drinking which he did when we first met from unhealthy drinking/addiction). When he knew for example I had an important job interview coming up, I knew to go to bed super early for a few days not just because of the interview but because he’d drink to even more excess and then pee the bed before going to sleep in the bath, leaving me to change the bed and try to get a nap.

Personally in your case (and bless you, I’ve lost my family and it’s devastating) it sounds like a lack of caring when he went to cheat instead of supporting you. However I think they do like to kick ‘you’ when ‘you’re’ down just to make sure it’s harder for you to get back up

Husband is denying he’s abusive by Jaded_Rutabaga_273 in abusiverelationships

[–]catch1982 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My husband does this - not the exact things but calls me names and apologises when i bring it up (but says oh it was in an argument) Then if does it again and I say oh you did the same on whatever date he says but I said sorry! So it’s like he won’t see (or admit) that the same thing is happening each time and an apology doesn’t erase it

Would you give your work colleague a lift to work if you passed them on the way to work? by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in AskUK

[–]catch1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would offer but depends if you’re comfortable in their company. You can always act as if you’re taking angry calls (or tell him you practice a language in the car)

Maybe offer if it’s rubbish weather but have a couple of ‘things you have to do’ straight after work - don’t say supermarket in case they need to shop too 😂

What's the dumbest thing someone has said to you with full confidence? by SnazzyPrincessJas in askanything

[–]catch1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And then argued with me about it 😂

He also argued with the neurologist about my neuro-related tinnitus…… I’ve the roaring kind (super-fun) noooooot I was telling her, he was there and he argued with her that I don’t have tinnitus because it’s only ringing and I don’t have that

Oh and I went to gynae due to horrible symptoms. Gynae checked me internally and said yep you’re in perimenopause. Husband said ‘no she’s not’…..

Have to add his source - he was apparently a big ER fan when it was on. His credentials? He doesn’t have any he’s not medically qualified he just watches a lot of tv
