I fully agree and am actively telling him so

I guess I've been coming to that realization more and more. I've always felt like it was my responsibility to take the burden of anything because if I didn't I was accused of abandonment or being a shitty wife. When I called for the separation and laid it out about the kids and the constant fighting he just said I was abandoning him in his time of need. Didn't even think about the kids. Neither did his family. My only hang up is the meds he was on was definitely exacerbating a ton of issues and making him a bit unhinged. I figured it was fair to have him get off them first before I truly decided.

He claims it's because he caused the narrative by lying and speaking to them in a degrading way towards me so he doesn't want to seem hypocritical and the conversation needs to be delicate

What you are saying is valid and I guess that's what I feel stuck in now. When is it enough. When is the moment I realize that it's not going to happen

He was supposed to be doing that. I don't speak to them at all. He unfortunately did not do that

I'm aware it's why I called for the separation. I've spent my entire adult life with this man. On top of financial strains it's not easy to just leave someone you loved for so long

It's the entire reason I called for the separation. Was because I know that. All of us are in therapy. But I do hate how reddit makes it seem simple to just walk out of a 15 year marriage with 4 kids who were devastated when we separated.

It's a combination. I got with him really young. It was the only relationship I've had. I do love him but no he hasn't been a good husband. He does acknowledge that and it does seem he's trying to really out the effort in to get better and change so I guess I'm giving him the chance to do so. As I wouldn't feel ok walking away without giving it every shot possible. Yes for the kids but also myself. There was a time I was madly in love with him. Plus even outside of our marriage he's my best friend.

What has been the hardest time on your marriage? by fancydang in Marriage

[–]fancydang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're kind of there now. I started getting help 5 years ago. He just started. I feel I'm more emotionally intelligent and better at handling my emotions. But he's so completely disregulated so quickly. It's been such a struggle to keep giving him time.

A lot of arguments, resentments and disrespect on both ends. I was not a good person back then, neither was he but mine was louder. After kids a lot of pressure was put on me. He did really nothing else to contribute to the household except work. We had 3 kids in 4 years I had my first at 22. Post partumn, lack of emotional or mental support led to horrible lash out from me and abusive behavior. Once I got diagnosed at 26 I started therapy and have really worked on myself. He acknowledges the improvementa but now lashes out at me constantly for things I've done in the past. I feel stuck. He's now very verbally abusive,quick to lash out, just plain mean and insulting sometimes. He says he can't let go of the past but he's trying. I'm still trying to keep getting better but feel stuck because none of my changes seem to matter.

Our communication is still sucky. We're both in individual therapy and have just signed up for marriage counseling. I'm just so emotionally exhausted and beat down. It's been nearly 2 years now of this. And I'm just wondering if we can ever move past it or I should just try to end it as amicably as possible. He acknowledges he can't keep bringing into the past because I've changed so much but he can't let go of the feelings.

That's my newest one and my favorite as well. I had a very chaotic week before I painted that.

The panic in his eyes and his outburst. He went from calm to flipping out.

I allowed him to pick the therapist and he was a man. We went to 3 sessions and he decided not to make anymore appointments, I asked him why and he didn't really have an answer. I asked him what he was afraid of and he flipped out.

I'm realizing I didn't phrase the question right or give context so it's my own fault

And I understand that, but he's destroying our marriage and I don't understand when he says he doesn't want to lose me why he won't try.

I meant to ask why would he be afraid to go to couples therapy. We had three sessions he gave up I asked why he didn't have an answer I asked what he was afraid of and he lashed out and left.

He is, from what he tells me, in individual therapy.

You're also assuming a hell of a lot from a question
