My wife is Abusive and Deny's it. How do I deal with Divorcing her?

Asked Jul 17, 2010, 07:29 AM — 22 Answers
I've been married for amost 8 years now. 7.5 of the 8 years has been fighting and the worst kind of arguments and abuse that you can think of. I mean from job sabatoge to spiting in my face. The name calling and several other forms of verbal, emotional abuse has placed me in a position where if I don't go I am going to go insane or get in trouble. For some time I knew things were very bad but never educated my self on abuse and what it is, recently I did some reading on the subject and discovered that my Wife is a Text Book Abuser. I want to leave but its hard cause I love her. She is in denial even though I show her what she does. She tells me I need to get over it, and that I make her say and do things. Its so crazy cause she does not make sense and can not see it. I feel like I wasted enough years of my life on this. I left her for 7 months and was treated so much better, after the time apart I came back because she said she changed but she is worst. I feel like I'm missing out on life. What do I do, how do I handle it emotionally and help my self handle this big task?

The worse part is when she told me to Get over it! That's why I feel pretty stupid sometimes that I'm still around to hear her say more and more. Its like a big mind game

Don't feel stupid. Yes, it is a mind game. She knows how to manipulate you. Get out. Stop talking to her.

NO CONTACT! I remember someone had created a sticky (post) with the NO CONTACT rule. I am going to see if I can find it and post it for you. If I can't, maybe someone else here will be kind enough to post it for you.

Whew, I too am glad you don't have any kids and if you divorce her and disappear from her life you won't have any more abuse either. Then a proper healing will put you on a good healthy path again.

Thanks for your service and sorry its the only relief you have.

Get it into your head. A woman like that can never love you in return.

Get our while you still have your sanity and your self respect.

She won't change. You can.

Seems to me that your wife and my common-law could be sisters. If you have no children together, then rent a storage unit and start packing.
No one has to endure abuse of any kind and I do feel your pain. The only reason I'm still with mine is because we have a child together and I won't leave him with her for too long.

Just remember "Filter & Focus"! Filter out her abuse & Focus on making a better life for YOURSELF!

Another trick, have a file started with the police then tell her off. When she takes a swing, make sure she leaves a mark then have her charged. Peace bond should follow. Just stand up for yourself!
