This does sound like emotional abuse to me and very controlling. He has no right to have demanded sex from you. If you felt frightened of him as well as the miscarriage that would understandably impact your desire to be intimate. Plus the online affair showed he is untrustworthy. His mum is likely to be highly biased and I would not seek advice from her in any instance.

Sorry you are going through this. It’s very confusing and you may need some professional help to deal with your feelings.  I have found listening to podcasts about emotional abuse very helpful to me personally. You are not alone in feeling this way.

Thanks Lisa

I had an apology and he is going to therapy voluntarily.

since that apology, there have been further incidents of verbal aggression and intimidation- more apologies!

I have since found out he pushed our child in an argument.

child said he does now feel safe with dad but does not want me to talk to my partner about.

the self doubt and indecision is crippling me and I’m now getting the silent treatment again

sad that the kids see this as normal
