Hi
my husband is always irritated with me. I seem to annoy him a lot. (detail removed by moderator). He says I am only awkward with him and no one else . is it really too much to ask for some reassurance at times . I don’t like driving in the dark : I am a bit scatty and definitely menopausal but he likes to tell me I do everything on purpose. Incidentally I don’t share my menopause difficulties with him as he told me a neighbour once said he would have to be patient with me when I got the menopause but he said he won’t be able to because he’s done enough for me already. I was in hospital recently and didn’t want to come home , I felt looked after and free from criticism . It’s sad as I have kids at home : I enjoyed being looked after . He was good when I came out and did the basics but then said he’d got no reward for his efforts . There’s always something lurking and it makes me sad , anxious and confused

So sorry you’re experiencing this. You’ve hit the nail on the head without realising it – he wants you to feel sad, anxious and confused because what do you do? Try and please him even more. It’s cruel and your kids are probably feeling the tension too. Have you read Lundy Bancroft’s book ‘why does he do that’, I found it really helpful to highlight all this kind of abuse x
