This is my first post. So here’s a bit about my life over the last 6 years.
I met the love of my life, fell in love instantly, had a perfect relationship over the 6 years. We were best friends, of course we argued… I’m not living in a fairy tale 
, but it was never anything major. We just respected each other and valued each other…. then, we decided to get married, which was also great – absolutely perfect wedding – very romantic wouldn’t change a thing! so what happend you may ask?
We decided to have a baby – we thought it would take us a while – so we started trying even before we got married. We were lucky and have a healthy, wonderful baby girl. She is the light of our lives and we both love her more than we could ever have imagined.
Again, you may be asking what’s my problem, my life sounds great – right? WRONG! My loving, sweet, respectful, adoring husband has been replaced by a complete jerk, a verbally abusive creep, who complains about everything from the state of the house, to the type of clothes I’m wearing. Nothing is ever good enough for him. He wants breakfast, lunch and dinner ready at his command, he wants me to iron his clothes, he wants me to look perfect all the time… basically, a good little housewife.
So we clash, b/c I’,m not the type that wants to be controlled and for some reason it seems his main purpose in life right now is to try and control me. I’m sick of the whole relationship. I feel like packing up my things, my daughter and leaving. I never used to drink, but tonight I had a shot of Vodka just to get through the night. I do not want to live like this. During the day when he’s a work I’m fine, I’m happy… but I dread when it gets close to the time that he gets home – it’s actually quite depressing. I don’t know what to do. We tried counselling, but it doesn’t work.
has anyone ever been in a situation like this? What did you do to cope? Will this get better? I miss my husband, I still love him – we were so happy. I don’t know what happened or where to go from here.
