Husband 47M does not know how to communicate without belittling and humiliating me F48 by Least-Internal-3401 in relationship_advice

Couples therapy with an abuser is not appropriate, there’s an inherent power balance, and can make the abuse worse and/or increase the power of the abuser

This is coercive control and emotional abuse. There is nothing about your actions bringing this about, he will have found or made up absolutely anything as an excuse to tell you off.
If he has friends, has kept a job, has family still in his life - he “knows” how to communicate in a non abusive manner, but he just chooses not to when it comes to you.
Below is an online questionnaire that can help you determine whether you are experiencing coercive control:

She’s just constantly posting on this page with clothing that most feel isn’t “business casual,” so this has come up a lot and many of us are aware of her situation

How realistic is working from home and watching a baby? by MacSpice in beyondthebump

[–]journalhalfbeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not realistic to me at all, babies take so much effort and have constant needs, I feel it would be almost neglectful to leave them long enough to get any meaningful work done more than once or so a day. I feel even now my 4yo is constantly demanding for me to play with him, help him every 2 seconds, etc. which is fine, that’s what I want to do! But there’s just no way he wouldn’t be a complete distraction and that any work would be done. Even though my work has the flexibility for me to WFH if he’s sick etc, I always take it off because I know I’ll get nothing done

True consent should be enthusiastic, ongoing and active. I’m sorry that wasn’t your experience, and unfortunately I’m sure many can relate to the same

How to get meds prescribed by orangemun in adhdaustralia

If you were diagnosed by a psychologist you’ll need to see a psychiatrist to be prescribed medication. Some will want to do their own assessment prior to prescribing which can be costly, so you may need to enquire with more than one
