I have been thinking about/planning leaving my emotionally abusive husband for a while now. Today we had a massive arguement and I honestly thought he was going to throw a plate at me – I cowered in front of him and almost burst into tears with the shock of it. He has never hit me but he does have really angry outbursts. He didn’t calm down for ages but when he did he was really apologetic about it all and I just have in like I always do. I’m so annoyed with myself for letting this happen – even when I was stood terrified in front of him thinking he was going to hit me my head was saying just leave by I couldn’t. And now he’s apologised it’s like it was no big deal and I’m blowing it out of proportion saying I thought he was going to hit me he was just shouting like normal so I’m expected to get over it like normal. I don’t know if I can build up the courage to actually leave.

Hi Confused-and-alone. This is similar to my situation. We’ve been together many years, 2 kids, which makes it much harder for me. He’s got much worse in the last year or so but is much nicer when working away. I got to the stage of hating him & after one episode, I vowed that I’d never let him touch me again. Then apologies & promises. I wanted out, but couldn’t bring myself to say so.
Afterwards the disappointment of being together still was massive & I still feel worse fir the fact we’re together.
It’s harder than you’d think isn’t it? I thought I’d be able to say I’d finally had enough. Years ago he would never say sorry, but now he apologises & it’s almost like he knows he can get round me by saying sorry & promising to be nicer.
I hope you can find a way out of your situation. I know the reality for any if us will no doubt be harder than we anticipate but we all deserve to get away from our selfish, manipulative partners & find some peace somehow x
