Hi Anita,
I am responsibly and would never bring children in this situation as is.
Long story short, he was stressed out with work and worried about finances and resented me for not working and took it out on me rather than communicate to me he turned to alcohol, verbally abusive and emotionally, basically took out his resentment and self pity on me.
This is not him and he was broken and he chose to break me in the process and unfortunately I let him!
I got stronger and realised he was the problem not me and it took me a lot to get over the anger and I felt he broke our marriage and I forgave him as I wanted to move forward and had to forgive for me as was not going to be in an unhappy, disrespectful marriage no more regardless if I over him.
I loved him more than myself and that broke me, but not no more.
Time apart made him realise what he has done and he needed to change or he would lose me forever.
