My partner makes me feel worthless

I’ve been with my partner 4 years married since December, we have 2 kids together. He has been doing things that people question me about. The way he speaks to me is shocking, he makes me feel worthless, he drinks beer every single night, leaves me to pick everything up after him. I think he has anger issues and I feel as if I’m walking on eggshells all the time, I met a couple who have a child so me and my kids have been spending time with them and my husband has done nothing but argue with me about it and scream at me about it. He wants me to wait at home for him to finish work and not be home later than him. I tried to leave him at the weekend, so he punched a hole in my wall and refused to leave.
I have a very big heart and I want to make this work for all of our sakes, every time he says he will change nothing ever does. He’s said he will do some anger management as long as I stay with him.
I don’t know what to do as I do love him and if I tried to leave again he will just reject my breakup again. but I’m not the happiest I could be and I’m only 22 I have so much more life left

Is this new behavior because why would you marry him if he treats you like this? I would leave him, because it sounds like this will just escalate and become abusive.

Leave. It won’t get better.

Get a restraining order. The police will escort him. If you have kids this will also help you get custody. Go while he is at work to the court house.

Get out now - dont let another year of your life go by!!! He isnt going to change.

Give him a deadline. He can start his anger management by X date or your are booting him. Follow through with it if he doesn’t get help. It will get worse and if he knows you won’t leave, he will never get help.

He’s going to say whatever he has to so you will stay. If he was going to change he would at least be making some effort. It will never get better.

This time was the wall, next time could be you!! You are too young and deserve to have a happy life, do you want your kids to be treated like this? I am assuming the answer is no, so don’t condition them to live this kind of life, the sooner you get out of there, the better life and opportunities you will have for you and your kids.

I’ve been there, I understand. Unfortunately he can’t change without taking actions, talking about it or intentions without actual actions won’t make a difference. You sound like me, I’ve always been way better about caring for others than myself, so if you can’t get out of the abusive situation you are in for you then do it for your children. I’m so sorry for the situation you are in but it sounds like it is time for you to get those children out of that environment and live a life without abuse. You can do this and you will get through this. Sometimes when you love someone you don’t realize how much you are enabling their own self destruction. You may not know this but you deserve a better life than you are living. Sending so much love to you.

Get out. Do what you have to do. If you need help finding resources please message me, I check my message requests often. I will help you find the resources to get out if you need help. Even if its only to give him an opportunity to change. Put some space between yall and you will see his true colors and honest intentions. He will either continue on a path of drinking and anger or he will wake up.

Wait until hes gone, then leave. Its how I had to do it also. Left at 5am on a flight back to FL from Alaska. No one knew but my parents.

When you do leave, whoevers home he knows and may go look for you at, give them a heads up AFTER you’ve left but very quickly after you’ve left. My ex took a 9mm to my moms looking for me after I left.

It won’t get better. You’re 22, you have so much more ahead of you. You deserve to be treated correctly and more importantly, those kids deserve to see their momma loved correctly too.

So he treats you like crap n you stay why? That’s not love. That’s abuse. And if he hits the walls now how long before he hits you or your kids. You are their mom. You are supposed to protect those kids. Lawyer up n get away from him. PPO is needed. You are worth everything! Grab the kids birth certificates n a couple of changes of clothes… a fav toy or 2. And any cash you can get your hands on n leave. Fear for your life n those kids. Don’t wait. Sounds like he’s escalating… it’s not a good sign.

Oh darling, you’re very young… stop wasting your life and your children’s. He’s most likely an alcoholic, and his behavior won’t change… until he is ready to change it… not a moment sooner. Don’t let your kids grow up to believe his behavior is normal.

Don’t stay in a toxic environment. Reach out to local human services for resources in your area. Don’t wait. It could cost you your life.

Get out now. He will not change. Do you want your kids thinking this is a normal relationship, to grow up and repeat the behavior.

It’s not going to get better. It hasn’t yet. And now you are married. He CANNOT reject your breakup my dear. Do not speak to him, do not do anything but get down to the courthouse, file what you need to file and be done with it. It’s hard. But you can absolutely do it and NEED TO for yourself and your kiddos.

Ummm… he’s controlling you. And it’s abuse. Eventually it will be you that he hits if what is going on pisses him off enough. I am so insanely shocked that people with stories about husbands treating them so badly and then are like I want to make it work. Well let me tell you he is putting in zero effort. If you stay you are accepting this behavior. If you do leave, don’t tell him first. My sister was killed last year… they don’t stop being angry and abusive… it just gets worse.

There is no way you can “love” someone who treats you like that. He’s just what you’re used to. Let him go, people like that never change. His Dad was probably the same way. He doesn’t care about your happiness, he has made that clear. Keep that in mind & don’t let him suck you back in.

Don’t allow him to reject it.
Leave him. Move on. It only gets worse.

I would be terribly worried about the anger issues. Do you want to wait until he hits you at the children? Why do you love him? He sounds like an immature jerk to me.

Sorry to say but how can you love anyone that treats you like that ! you’re so much better off WITHOUT HIM. move forward with your life, it would be so much better & you know it.

Your in a abusive controlling relationship. It’s toxic and you need to get yourself and children out . Before it totally ruins them which this will . Your daughter will feel this is normal as a adult and get herself into a similar toxic relationship. If you have a son he will behave to woman like his father . HE WILL NEVER CHANGE HE WILL GET WORSE RUN :running_woman:t3:

It will for sure get worse if he doesn’t stop drinking my husband drank almost every day as well but when he stopped and taking classes now our marriage is a little better still working on it

Let him reject your break-up all he wants. The drinking and the abuse (yes it’s abuse) is not going to change unless he wants to and has a reason to. Just because he SAYS he’s going to anger management does not mean he’s actually going to do it. This is a tactic to get you to stop your current path to end the relationship, once he feels “safe” the bad behavior will resume.

This will only get worse and it will take a toll on you and your children. Make a plan to leave and do so while he’s at work like others have said.

When searching for a partner, we don’t look for a person we can change to be our husbands or wives. We find that husband and make him ours. He is not husband material. Sorry. I’ve been down that road. They never change and are professional narcissists. You trying to leave is giving him more power. Don’t waste your time, until you are ready. I left with both my kids and whatever possessions of their I could fit in my little car. That’s it. I’ve never looked back. You already have your answers on what to do, search for how to do it. And when you do, don’t look back.

This is abuse. It wont change. He will agree to anger management and do everything to make you happy, and then he will go back to his old ways once he thinks things are forgotten about. Classic narcissist, he will push the people you care about away bc they are a threat to him. You’re still young. Get your life in order and find happiness while you can, bc years will fly by and one day you will wake up and wonder why you wasted all of your good years on a man who didnt deserve it.

Oh honey, first off I’m sending you a big hug filled with love and strength.
First off get yourself a support network. Whether that be family, friends, a neighbour maybe, the more support you have the easier (hopefully) it will be when you leave him. Cause girl that’s what you need to do. Get those babies of yours, pack your things and leave, leave while he’s at work if u don’t feel safe when he’s home. Sure he’s going to be mad as hell but that’s not your problem. You need to put you and your children first and being in that environment is not good for anyone. Hoping you find the strength and clarity it to make it through this . Please reach out via messenger anytime xx

Imagine you are your daughter or best friend. Now re-read what you just wrote… Would you want this for them? Then it shouldn’t be your lot either. You’ve answered your own question my love. The trust in a relationship is the trust you have in yourself to walk away when necessary. Now walk away and never look back! :heart:
