He does not beat me or verbally abuse me, atleast not very often(verbal abuse). We have a 3 year old son. The problem is I am very unhappy in my marriage and I don't know how to get out without any money. I practically forced him to marry me, he laughed when I brought it up the first time. I am a stay at home mom because we can afford it but barely. I am so unhappy because I'm not sure I even love him anymore and I am sick of walking on eggshells. I have to make sure everything is perfect or if something is out of place I get THAT look. He doesn't even let the dog drink water because he has acid reflux, as soon as he starts lapping his bowl, he says slow down stupid. Oh god I hope no one that knows us reads this. LOL I am not perfect, yes I have my share of faults and no I have no life outside of home because there is no one to watch my 3 year old. My problem is without being physically abused I don't see any way to get help to get out of it. He is constantly telling me this is his house and his stuff, it was here when I came, atleast most of it. Stuff that I used to let roll off my back is now starting to really just tick me off. I don't talk because I am afraid I am going to blow up. We have had the same arguments for years and nothing changes. If anyone would like anything specifics confused just ask and I will let you know. But the big question is how do I leave without any money and since I have a roof over my head, food in my mouth, and clothes on my back, should I just continue to stick it out or what? I know there are people worse off than me. I was all around abused by my first husband. Since I am not being abused and I have the normal things in life should I upset my 3 year old by leaving or is it worse letting him see his mother so unhappy? Thank you for listening.
