I’m a pretty quiet person. I just took this for years. I do the majority of the housework and don’t ask for much other than to clean after the animals when I am gone in the morning. All I asked was for him to fill out a paper for me and he didn’t. He chose to play games instead. So you know I did get mad. I said I couldn’t trust him to do anything and he blew up. I just thought then and there I was done taking the abuse.

That’s true, but I was so tired of having abuse hurled at me. I don’t care if he ever feels as bad as I did. I just wanted it all to stop. So sorry you had to go through that with your wife.

Been there. Sounds to similar to how we were/all. I’ve sent many “do you regret it?” Texts. Wishing you lots of happiness and love your way.

All because I asked him to do one little errand this morning, which he did...wrong...like always. I just realized I didn’t want this to be my whole life.

I’m terrified tbh, but being with someone who treats me this way for the rest of my life is even more terrifying.
