what he's saying, even though it may sound like concern, sure is barbed enough to sound, the way you wrote it, like verbal or emotional abuse. Marriage is about more than just living together. You all...

BTW, I never felt loved or honored when dating a man who held a fundamentalist perspective on submission in marriage. The definition of submission that says 'if we disagree, you're wrong' and 'you're...

His comments about you essentially being unable to survive without him are manipulative at best and probably cross the line into abuse. IMNSHO. Allow me to lapse into Christianese for a moment to...

Re: What Would You Do? Marriage Trouble

Mary, thanks for your ideas. To me, it's important that my child not be subjected to religion. I wish I could shield him from it completely, but I can't, so I have to compromise. But my husband won't...

I would say that the pentecostal teachings many of us on this forum were subjected to as his children were and ARE abusive. It's a SIN/ CRIME to scare a child to death that every tiny misstep will...

Yes, it's abusive. I will do everything I can to protect my child from that. I've decided to leave. I'm done trying to work things out. We have no future. I'm looking for a full-time job. Then I will...

nottaken, I hope you will reconsider your decision to not hire a lawyer. That's the first thing I would do. You need someone to protect your interest and those of your child. I have a hunch your...
