I Am Abused Mentally

Money is coming in between my husband and I. He says he is tired of supporting me even though I have schizoaffective disorder and if it wasn't for him I would be on disability. He makes too much money for me to get disability, so I can't get it. So he want's us to get a seperation so that I can get dissability....All while he enjoy's his new camaro! And I can't afford to eat properly. I'm so sad. I have to beg him to buy things like shower curtains and yet when my mom gives me money he expects me to pay for the brand new bath tub and tub surround. So I did, then he freaks out when I ask him for a little extra to buy shower curtains saying I'm tired of supporting you. I had to beg, and clean the kitchen, living room and my bedroom to earn the shower curtains. Truly I am scared...My husband always said that I was getting too fat for him to take me on vacation...He said that he would have me committed to a home while he goes on vacation without me, he threatened me for years and just last year he sent me to rehab for 6 months and went to Mexico for a family vacation without me. I just fear that he is a man of his wicked word, like his constant threats of divorce, really mean that when the time is right he will divorce me. He's already giving up supporting me even though I can't get a job or keep on without my mental illness coming into play, or being singled out at work and bullied off the job. Plus I don't qualify for AISH I am just living in fear and sorrow.

What is happening is called abuse . What you need to do is find a way to record it . Maybe your mother will get you a couple of “ nanny cams “ that record video and sound on memory cards . Get plenty recorded , prod him into being an ass again. Then find an attorney. Abuse of someone with a mental illness is a kin to raping old ladies and children. The outrage will percolate all the way up to the judge . It’s clear your husband no longer loves you ( I’m very sorry) and that he’s seeing another woman/women , driving a new car , while you struggle to get something to eat .

That’s not ok . You feel trapped because if you don’t take his BS he threatens to divorce you or put you away . He can’t put you away and he won’t divorce you because you get half of everything plus alimony ( depending on your state) . You’ll likely get disability from social security and food stamps ( if you divorce him). He’s victimizing you! That’s not ok nor is it legal . I’m sorry for your illness , I have a sweet friend that has that too. You don’t deserve that type of treatment.

It's not your fault. Hes being an asshole and doesnt deserve you. Speaking from experience. I had this issue with my ex fiance. You'll be happier living your own life without him. Trust me. It sounds like hes just making you miserable.

no offence to you but your husband sounds like a major douche and you deserve much better. Maybe a separation might be better for you. Get away from his mental abuse and find happiness

He doesn't deserve the title of "Husband" since he clearly does not love or care for you. I am so sorry you are going through this. This is awful!

@SW-User He has just given up on me and fell out of love with me. I am just not who he married, I was skinny back then but my medication made me put on weight.

@saintsong I hope you recover and be well figured again. But he shouldn't Behave like this with you.
