    Thank you anita, im curious to knw what things wre like for you, hw yur r journey was. Its always good to have an experienced persons story.
    The problem I’m facing is the fact that I have conveniences. Things not entirely bad. That doesn’t justify the bad parts.. but if I were to be an outsider looking in, I’d have left long ago. Istill cant sedm to shake the fact that weve bee. Married amost 8 years and ive “normalized” the situation to “all couples have their issues”

    Im not “in love” and Im not staying “to try u to work things out” because I dont have that desire. I want tobe young and free and happy and at peace..basically go back to who I was before I I gt married.
    I feel like a completely different person. I hate it, but I feel so “trappdd” yet “comfortable” :/

    Might I add, that as much as she needs me for help,mm etc… three ed things which she has that I nerd are wifi because without it I cant be on here.
    My belongings I now are safe here
    And I have a place to live, with basic needs ven, water showers food laundry a bed.. and withoutb money I cant rent out a room which id prefer to a woman’s shelter
    Yet if I piss her off or dont listen to her or her demands, she cuts off wifi, which I value more than you know!

    Thanks again anita, nan 🙂
    Nan, to answer your questions. ?
    I did leave twice before. In may 2014 and came back here 10 days later
    I left again in august the same year and came back a a week later.
    I stayed with the same friend, who I called the other night

    But since my wife got involved, she called the police and bluffed a restraining order against him. So now this friend was my only resource, and my wife took that away 🙁

    I came back the first time because she” threatened” me
    The second time because she “convinced” me things would be different, better.

    Im still technically married, but as people, I broke up with her.
    But we are living together

    Its technically abusive verbally emotionally psychologically.. yet when its not she acts like were “together”
    Giving kisses, trying to make me laugh, demands we sleep in the same bed every night, acts like shes “gonna help me get a job and a place”

    So… should I buy this, or cut n run.. like I said, I have little resources.. and dc I can justify this situation, even though truly it is NOT what I want

    The funny thing is, I don’t tonk she knows or feels she is “abusingme”
    Actually she says I am the one abusing HER
    When I don’t feed her or I keep the house a mess or fight or keep her up at night…
    And if I sigh the wrong way that’s what she calls “attitude”
    So I wonder if she recognizes her behavior. She’s very smart as a person, manipulative, calculating. ? Yet because I ran away in the middle of the night twice.. im the calculating shady one. But I didnt feel I could flat out tell her.
    Now weve discussed it, and im suffering day to day. So even leaving… do you really tonk y plan A will work.. because I’m effectively cleaning ghe house or closer to ajob. I am just depressed and unmotivated.. id rather put in my headphones put on music and “escape” so to speak

    Wow, that’s a really good way to describe it, and honestly I hate to admit it but I think you are correct all around. Ts very hard to admit it to myself because I’m not this “kind of person”

    Yes I havd benefits staying ike my TV stuff aundry tv music internet food a nice bed etc, but im certainly nOT living or c challenging myself. Time is a going by.
    I could say I’m comfortable and its not “soooo bad”
    But like you said, the leopard cannot change its spots.
    And yes, im blamed for everythingggg
    So I start to doubt my ownself identity self eorth confidence all that..
    Soo what is a solution if I am fearing just leaving period.
    I could walk out the door right now, but what about what will happen. ? Is she going to hurt me? Is it worth th risk?
    What is yur other thoughts

    The othrr thing that baffles me is this: im home all day, aside from cooking and attending to her whims and needs, I have time to clean and pack and plan, but im not.. or moving very slowly. One would tink, if its this prssing why am I not in a available hurry to get out… im being laz XT or unmotivated or procrastinating. ? I dont know why.

    She uses “getting the cops involved” as leverage, either to intimidate scare or control me or keep me doing what she says, at least tats hw I interpret it.
    Back in2010 we had a domestic dispute that resulted in a no violent contact order as in if I get violent to her im arrested etc.
    She stirs things up with cops.. she buffed the othr night and told them my friend who was gnna help me had guns and threatened to hurt us. Th He refore isolating me, even though she lied. Shes not above lying and manipulation to serve her self. She can tell the cops I stole from her, which shes dne before, which is BS. She can say I was violent, that I am deserting the marriage when shes disabled, oh boy she can say whatever she wants and theyll go along and believe her. She can paint me into a corner. That is available my fear… that I will have a trail of “her” following me wherever I go. Im scared and she is a complete liar yet she calls me a liar because I dont cook dinner when I say I will.
    This is the absurdity of things. It feels like I have to go along with this plan “A” or I will have trouble follow me.
    I just want to be free and feel at ease and live a new life, im not living.. im existing, its deprssing.
    yet im to blame always Because her health is in jeopardy and im not caring, im being selfish
