I want to leave
He makes me feel terrible about myself, causes issues with my family, and overall is not a person I want to be around. I want to leave and in reality I could. I own my house, have financial stability, etc; however, I think that leaving will make my life worse as I think he will be very vindictive and try to make my life miserable. I would also have to share custody of my son. He’s never physically harmed me or my son and doesn’t have a history of infidelity so I can’t use the typical reasons for divorce. My internal struggle is do I stay in an unhappy marriage where I get to see my son everyday, or do I leave and face the consequences? I’m worried about the influence he will have on my son but he is only 1, so I can’t prove anything. I appreciate any advice or hearing other women’s stories.

I think u should quietly start keeping receipts of all his emotional abuse or the things he says to u. Especially over text. U might need it later on. See if u can get him to sign a post-nup. Put clauses in there to help u in case of divorce. Do u think hed ever give up custody? But in general- stop taking his shit. Tell him its unacceptable how he talks to u & dont take it. Draw a line. If he starts up, walk away. Grey rock him.
@seo thank you. I have some pictures of things he has broken. Unfortunately he doesn’t say these things over text. I’ve thought about recording our fights but I dont think of jt in those moments
Make sure your state allows for recording without both parties consent first! Otherwise u cant use it in court
