    I am 19 trying to leave my 26 year old husband
    Well I met my partner when I was 16... than got pregnant he is 7 years older than me.. now I'm 19 and he is 26, but now he just pushes me too hard to do things, he wants me to cook he's way ,to think like him,he wants me to be the perfect wife , and I do really try my best to give him what he wants but he keeps on comparing me to his sisters... he tells me that they know how to cook,they think better than me ,they even run better than me, I had my baby at 17 and you know us girls don't end up looking the same as when we were single... he wants me to get in shape and look like a model , but I don't have time for myself . Im a stay home mom and I take care of 6 little kids 7 with my son, all day just to make some money for myself... I just don have time to work out... he doesn't hit me or anything like that... but it's the things he tells me... I feel so depress ,I'm always in a bad mood ,I feel so ugly ,I'm not as confident as I used to be... im always thinking what people will say... im not happy at all... he gives me everything house,food,clothes ,shoes, my son has everything,. but I'm not happy , he thinks that I should appreciate him for all that and because he doesn't hit me... he says that another guy would just wop my and I won't probably say nothing... and I know that's true... but I can't be with him... when we are alone we don't talk , we just watch t.v. or we play with our son... he won't hug me in front of someone because he's emberrased, in front of his friends he bosses me around and says that he has me like that... because all his friends are the same way... my mom tells me I'm too young to be living like this... all his friends and family are old alreary ,I'm the only young and I don't feel comftorble being around them... I want to leave but I don't have anywhere to go... what can I do... I don't want my son to be affected by this even though he is only 1 year 1/2...

    Sounds like he married you expecting to make you who he wants you to be.
    I have heard of older guys that marry girls that are so young just so they can 'make them in their image' of what they want.
    He thinks he can and should now since it has gone on so long.
    You need to find a way to tell him that you are not his sisters, you have your own thoughts, feelings and personality and it hurts you that he can't find it in himself to love you for you.

    Welcome to AMHD. You get an A+ for your effort, in my book. Why not get into counseling ASAP? It's going to take some time to sort through all this. You are young and can definitely use some help in getting your confidence and mood where they need to be.

    It appears that your hubby is very controlling and verbally abusive so you have every right to want out of this situation if he's unwilling to be a better man for you and your son.

    Have you raised this issue with your husband? If so...
    Is it possible to separate, go to your mom for help (with your son) until things can be settled?

    Sweetheart I am in the same situation but have no child and I am 23. I am so tired of going through this, he wants me to stay in shape but won't let me go to the gym because he doesn't want me to talk to guys, the house is never clean enough and the food is never good enough. All we do is watch TV together, there's no emotional connection between us. I don't know his friends he won't let me meet them. I know I have to leave him. Maybe I can't help you or tell you what exactly you have to do but I want you to know that you are not the only one in that situation and you are not alone, you are so young, you deserve a good, happy life. I wish you all the best

    Can you pack up your son and go visit your mother for a week or so? This could help open his eyes as he won't have anyone to clean up his house or cook for him.
