My husband constantly brings up my past

My husband and I are separated and have been for quite a while. We were together for 16 years and have children. Things had gotten to the point that I was always mentally exhausted. I constantly apologized, begged, and cried. He still to this day wants me to feel sorry for all the things that I have done. He makes statements like “It really hurts me that youve convinced yourself that you didnt lead me on.” Or when I say something about the way that I was hurt, he always comes back with all of the things that I did to hurt him and how he is still there waiting and I just walked away. He tells me that all I do is run and that I refuse to talk to him about anything important. But honestly, Im tired of feeling like a horrible person. I dont want to be a mom that is more worried about her husband and his behavior than she is about her children. Im done talking about everything that I did wrong and why that is the reason for everything that he did/does to me. Im tired of being told that I dont care about him or that I dont do enough for him. He posts on social media that he is so sorry and acts like Im so amazing. People who see this or hear him (including our children) want to know why I would leave because he just loves me so much. There is too much damage. I realize that he may be right and I may be the cause of all of it but I dont need to be reminded all the time. I dont need to be interrogated or made to feel bad if I help someone or worry that he will see the wrong person talk to me. He watches my social media and has alerts turned on. He has even questioned me about responses that I have made to questions on this page. He was my best friend for so long and I do love him and I want him to be happy and to be happy for me and to raise our babies together. I just cant get him to see his own value and know that he will be okay. He refuses. He wants me to come back and fix everything but I couldnt fix it then and I dont want to go back to the place that we all were. How do I make him stop? How am I supposed to be happy again and let go of all this guilt that he is so often reminding me of? I feel like I cant move on until he lets me go. The thought of that makes me sad too but until recently I really believed that everyone in my family would be happier if I disappeared and wasnt able to do so much damage. I just want to feel better.

Damn, you must of done some stuff to that man. How bout apologize and be clear that it’s time for y’all to move on and that there’s no chance of reconciling. Be clear that you are acknowledging the pain your actions have caused and then block him on social media. You not moving on is probably causing him more pain and sending mixed signals.

The lyrics to Avery Anna’s song, Narcissist

Out of touch with my feelings
I can’t help it if I’m happy or sad
Today I cried for no reason
Made me feel like a psychopath
I should hate you 'cause I love you
You should hate yourself for treating me like that
We both know you only love you
Did you know they have a name for that?
You say that I’m crazy
You say that you’re sorry
Won’t happen again
You say I’m dramatic
I’m overreacting
And maybe I am
And I know you’ll get over me
But can you get over yourself?
Before you go and love somebody else
You should probably get some help
My parents don’t like you
Why would they want to?
After they found me crying on the bathroom floor
I don’t even like me anymore
'Cause you say that I’m crazy
You say that you’re sorry
Won’t happen again
You say I’m dramatic
I’m overreacting
And maybe I am
And I know you’ll get over me
But can you get over yourself?
Before you go and love somebody else
You should probably get some help
You lose your voice when you yell too much
Don’t say you love me until you mess up
Phone calls past twelve o’clock, wanting me back
Don’t you know that they got a name for that?
You say that I’m crazy
You say that you’re sorry
Won’t happen again
You say I’m dramatic
I’m overreacting
And maybe I am
And I know you’ll get over me
But can you get over yourself?
Before you go and love somebody else
You should probably get some help

Your separated right?? Why are you still putting up with this?!?!?

He makes these comments so that you are the bad guy and he is the victim. Shut that :poop: down by telling him… our marriage is over, none of that matters anymore. And refuse to talk to him (or text him back, etc) when he brings these thing us. If someone else says something to you (your kids, friends, family) tell them there is 2 sides to every story and just because you are not stooping to his level doesn’t mean he wasn’t a fault for the marriage failing too. And that it’s not their business.
You left… there is no reason that you need to be rehashing this blame stuff all of the time.

Perhaps therapy could help? Sometimes it helps when a professional can break things down & help you come to terms with things you either did or didn’t do. It’s not a bad thing to look into & it’s a healthy outlet when you need to heal from something, especially your past. He sounds like a narcissist & I hope you can learn to manage the fact that it’s not even about what you did anymore- it’s the fact he seems to be miserable & likes to project.

Block him on all social media… And only communicate about the children ONLY. If he brings up anything you have done… or anything besides your children end the call immediately… or if in person simply say… okay I guess we are done talking about our kids. I need to leave now. And take off. Don’t give him the pleasure of fucking with you anymore.

If you both were willing to get into counciling you’d really bennift, but it not you’ve got to work on yourself first. I’m so sorry you feel like you do. Do you have a Pastor or someone you can talk to who wouldn’t judge you? Please get some help. You’re in my prayers :pray::pray::pray:

I think that you’ve got some internal healing and growing/evolving to do. You’ve got to also set solid boundaries, for your well being; whether or not it’s uncomfortable for you, or him. If y’all are separated, especially being this long, the marriage should be through with. The main priority and ONLY priority now, should be the children… a marriage involves TWO people. You are not the only person who has made mistakes I’m sure. It takes a great amount of not only understanding and accepting one another’s wrong doings but, also major accountability and change. I am so sorry that he is horrifically selfish and controlling; you need to put your foot down and protect your peace as well as solidify certain boundaries for yourself, your children and him.

If he loved you he would want to work through the issue together, not use the issue as an excuse to abuse you.

Idc what anyone says…if someone is purposely treating someone like shit as ‘punishment’ for them doing something hurtful instead of talking and working through the situation that is toxic AF and not healthy at all. Abuse should never be an acceptable form of punishment to either partner in a relationship and if it is it is time to shut the whole damn thing down. Period.

Abuse isn’t punishment for past transgressions

I’m very sorry you are having these feelings… They are so consuming… He sounds very toxic for you. Regardless of your past happiness. He’s not your current happiness and he is breaking you down to feel less than and sadly it’s working. But you notice this pattern and that’s the hardest part! I would suggest therapy to help you navigate and sort yourself out… delete him from your social media and limit contact to just about the children. It will be difficult at first, but you will persevere! You’ll be happy again and that’s what you deserve!

Your future is not dependent on him. Let that part go. He firm and set boundaries. You can also control what he sees on social media. I’d block him until he can be an adult. If you have clearly communicated your needs and he is not willing to meet them, even in this scenario…that tells you all you need about the relationship. I had to completely cut off my ex husband from anything about me that didn’t involve our child. It was difficult but until he could respect my boundaries that was it. He hurt me so bad (mentally) that he is no longer privy to any part of my life other than coparenting. And after a rocky year or so, we seem to have figured it out. As long as he thinks he can keep playing you he will. Good luck and remember you are not responsible for someone else’s actions :slight_smile:

In regards to social media delete him off of everything, change the privacy settings. If you have to get to the point where he still seeing everything you throw a friend, block him.

This man is controlling your life. You will need to be very strong and cut all ties. Learn about coercive contolling behaviours. Block him from your social media. The people who believe him are not your friends so just delete them from your life. Explain to your children that sometimes adult relationships just aren’t meant to be. Do not be negative about him to them (as hard as it is). He is all about himself and not taking any responsibility for himself. You need to believe in your own self worth, get counselling. If you do want to be together to raise your kids together you need counselling. Sorry but we have raised generations of selfish people and he is showing signs of being a controlling bully which manages to convince everyone else that you are the problem and not him. Classic!!

He is a toxic narcissist! He is attempting to keep control. He still has control because you’re allowing it. If you’ve been separated for quite a while, then file for divorce, custody and child support. Limit any and all communication to ONLY about the kids. Don’t express your feelings to him. He obviously didn’t care about your feelings when you were together, because if he did, you might still be together. So, cut all contact unless it’s strictly about the kids, ignore what other people think/say, file for divorce and get yourself and your children into therapy.

Block him on all social media & kick anyone that is on his friends list. All. Of. Them. He can blame you all day but he allowed it to get the point so he’s weak. Instead of help, her used it against you. Who needs that?
Clean your slate. Seriously. Get rid of all of them & start over. Delete texts, contacts, emails; hell, set up a new email.
Also, get into therapy. There’s in-person & apps. Do the work to heal yourself.
I had family always calling my mom about my FB. I mean, discussions regarding news, fashion, car styles or whatever… They ran to her like I was doing something wrong. I was 30, married & had kids. My family’s always brought up stuff from my teenage years. Didn’t matter I had turned my life around. I made more than 90% of them & paid off my house & cars by 37. :roll_eyes: So, I walked away from them. All of them. :v:
I cleaned my lists & blocked them all.

Your past isn’t meant to be a prison sentence. Anyone that throws it at you like that doesn’t truly love you, they’re manipulating you. Guilt trips are a form of emotional abuse.

Also, learn to protect yourself, because if he’s stalking you online it’s pretty likely he’s stalking you in the flesh too. Take control of your own safety.

Find solutions instead of running. Maybe he wants to feel seen and heard. We don’t know what’s happened in your marriage so it’s tough to give advice with little context. I agree with some others that counseling or therapy is a good start. As always, the best apology is changed behaviour. If you have truly lost your love for him or you feel the wedge is pushed too far then you need to be open and honest with him about your feelings. Asserting yourself in a gentle way can maybe help him see the bigger picture. If neither of you are willing to change you’ll keep repeating the lessons until you have learned them. Best of luck!

You can’t change the past, and him constantly bringing it up is an issue with him…beating a dead horse isn’t going to change whatever happened. We’ve all made mistakes and have apologized for it, but if the other person isn’t willing to comprehend that then nothing will change. Unless he’s willing to work it out with therapy then there’s no point with you staying. You shouldn’t have to feel like crap for the rest of your life over a mistake that was made a long time ago

You don’t need him to be able to move on. Of course he is going to blame you otherwise he would have to blame himself and it’s easier to blame others. This should be confirmation that things are over. He won’t let things go and that’s his problem to live with. Let go, move on and be happy. Don’t worry about what he thinks.

He’s a narcissistic creep. File for divorce. Get custody of the kids and child support. Cut off all communication unless it involves the kids. If he starts to say anything else, stop the conversation and bring it back to the kids. If he can’t keep it there, hang up. Get into therapy for yourself and the kids. Cut out communications with people who are close with him or listen to his sad tales of woe. No relationship has ever broken down because of the actions of just one person. It took two to start the relationship, it took both to mess it up. Not just one. My first husband blamed me for everything. I wasn’t the perfect housekeeper, I wasn’t the perfect size two after I had the kids, and I wasn’t highly educated, although I did get my LPN. He cheated, talked to me worse than if I was a dog, pushed me, ran me down in front of our two small children, and drank like a fish, becoming violent. He stayed out till all hours, and was insufferable. I don’t let what he has said get to me. I know what happened. I know how I felt. I have PTSD because of childhood memories, he added to that. I’m under no illusions that my sins were any greater than his. We both messed up. And the marriage died an ugly death. He’s gone now. He wanted it known at his funeral that he never wanted our divorce. I wasn’t at the funeral, but he knew the kids would tell me what was said. Of course he didn’t want the divorce! He could treat me like dirt, have his girlfriends, do his running around, and do as he pleased while I raised the kids and kept the home fires burning. No thank you. I needed a life too.

Also if you’re separated and you are done with the relationship then stop calling him your husband. You won’t move on until you finalize that he is not your husband anymore.

do u know the meaning of blackmail? This is a typical example. If you are bad so be it, why is he still talking about this since you are both separated? One thing I get very scared of with this type of experience is loosing confidence in yourself, for me this is going to be the climax of events. Your kids are priority, take them all from him and mind your affairs. It would be best if you are educated and of course has something doing, forge ahead, don’t mind him. If you believe it is spiritual attack then pray against it only when you have moved on with your kids. Bear in mind that an insecure man will always send spies to monitor your affairs, but if this is the case, maintain your focus and ignore the spies; always be you. Believe me he will only regret loosing you by the time you become who you should be, and all his destructive criticism will come to an end.

Narcissistic behavior definitely on his part. Hurt people tend to hurt people to make them feel much better about themselves & their actions. You need to focus on your mental health. Don’t ever feel you’re not needed or wanted or “they” would be better without you. You’ve let what people say control your mind. If you tell him how you feel & he doesn’t see any wrong with what he did… don’t discuss it anymore. He needs to get over the past. Accept what happened, happened NOW get over it. We can’t live there forever & you shouldn’t have to be punished daily for mistakes made… we are all HUMAN. No one’s perfect. Seek therapy if need be but always remember your kids definitely need you if you ever feel no one else does… & they will NEVER be better off without you :heart: good luck!
