I Hate Men Who Abuse Women

A Man Does Not Love You When......... He hits you and is verbally abusive.
He tries to control every move you make.
He resents you for having a better job and education.
He is jealous of your friends and family and tries to stop you seeing them.
He crictisizes what is dearest to your heart.
He makes fun of your fears.
He keeps putting you down and pointing out your weaknesses.
Your money is his money,
and he resents you buying yourself a treat .
He backs up the people who are rude or hostile towards you.
you find out he has been running you down behind your back.
He constantly lies to you.
He fails to comfort you when you are distraught or in pain,
and tells you to stop moaning!
He denies you your deepest need,like wanting to be a mother,and tries to convince you that you would not want children either.

No matter how often he tells you "he loves you" if any of these signs above apply,
GET OUT AND GET OUT FAST!

I did not get out fast enough!

I could NOT help but think about a friend I recently reconnected with. She married this man that has been nothing but a jerk to her. But I hold her responsible as she just jumped up and married him without really getting to know him. They met purely for sex interest, but when she got pregnant she felt pressured to marry him, but eventually learned to love him.

He cheated on her on their daughter's birthday, she gave up some family members for him for a few years. She gave up her job to be a housewife. Her Facebook account was deactivated THREE times becuase he didn't like her having one. He suggested a threesome, he would sometimes force her to have sex, he abandoned her one night when she was a few months pregnant. I mean the list goes on and I was very disappointed in her when she went back to him a few weeks ago.

There are some women out there that just don't get it. They don't get it. And it may be all they know or all they grew up in. It's sad they have to learn the hard way.

Thank you for your comment.

Even if late, I hope you got out and got to see a side of freedom that gives peace.
Every human being deserves respect, attention, conpassion, care and the wisdom to recognize the signs of danger that are a threat to having the freedom we all deserve.
I feel for the long while you suffered such ignorant, misguided, troubling ways and I'm happy that if nothing else you try to spread vital knowledge on this matter.
We should keep on voicing this and spreading these lessons.

I have learned a lot since,about narcissists, how to recognise them and how they operate.

I'm trying to get out of a controlling marriage. Lots of verbal abuse. Im so scared. No money and no job nono where toyou go. He knows this and it makes things worse. I cry daily and my self esteem is non existing. Kids grown thank goodness, but my kids suffered when they were small. I feel so guilty that I know stayed 36 in years in this hell. Thanks for reading.

I know it can be quite difficult mostly when the person you are trying to leave threatens to harm you or threatens suicide,both these tactics were used against me.Somehow circumstances allowed me to finally get away.I had a job,earned more than he did and thanks God I did not have young children.I did not have a family to turn to,they would have been the last ones could have turned to for help! .I suspect your husband is using emotional blackmail to keep you where he wants you and constantly undermines your self esteem to literally "cut you legs from under you" this is how that kind of abusers operates. Is there a telephone number for domestic abuse victims you could access so as to talk to someone in your area who could give you some support and advise on how to stage your get away,there are places abused spouses can go to,refuges where husbands cannot reach them so they can recoup some of their confidence and self esteem while working towards a more permanent get away.But you cannot tell anyone where you are,so your husband has no way of tracing you. You can phone your children and friends so as to tell them you are OK,but sadly you cannot reveal your location.You could talk to your GP,what you tell him is in confidence,he might know of a place you can access or an organisation that can help you.You cannot go on like this.Now your life is not your own.You deserve a life!.Take care.

Berangere\'s is very good advice. When you\'ve found a shelter you truly do need to cut ties to be safe. There are many cases where women don\'t understand the importance of doing this and found it very costly; for instance, a lady whose husband found her when she visited her regular hair dresser and it cost her her life. There are safe places, but you must pay attention to rules and advice.

I had a friend who years ago her husband was as you posted here, for such á strong willed woman I couldn't understand how she tolerated his behaviour, but she said that once he confronted the children the way he did to her, the lioness within her sprang, she kicked him out, and as the story goes, lived happy ever after.

She certainly did the right thing,why put up with all that nonsense ? I did for seven years until I hated him so much that I had to get out before I did something I would regret.

Thank you so much for your story.
I agree that it happens all too often to women and occasionally to men. I think it seems to happen to nice people so often because if the people had a harder persona they would not get away with it. They would probably end up in divorce court much sooner, as you suggested.
johnfrum1
Well I am glad you got out eventually
It takes more than a penis to make a man, and those that behave this way don't deserve the title. Grrrrr...this has made me angry!!!! Lol
berangere · 80-89, F
To tell you the truth, he was not even good in bed!
johnfrum1
well I don\'t like to brag but......hahaha x
berangere · 80-89, F
Lets leave it at that.
Iain321
Yes, I think those are signs to get out quick, especially the attempts to cut communication between family and friends, I have seen women change so much once they have a boyfriend.

Unfortunately Love is an emotion many aren't taught the true meaning of by their parents. Sad But True!!!
berangere · 80-89, F
I agree! I got a distorted view of love due to an abusive background.
tmajor
Me to!

This story speaks the truth. I wish every member of EP would read it.

Thanks

Thank you for your support.
berangere · 80-89, F
And I could have added,he threatens suicide when you mention leaving him.

berangere · 80-89, F
It can go both ways.
