I’m stuck in a shitty marriage

[fallen_leaf]

But since I’m the only one he treats like shit my family doesn’t support or try to help me leave. Suffering from depression and anxiety which he makes worse leaves me feeling incapable of doing it in my own

Have you asked for either their help or help from anyone else?

[fallen_leaf in reply to Anonymous0001]

Yes they defend him and blame me since he is nice to them.

I’m so sorry to hear this..

Any organisations you can turn to for some help and support in your area...in the U.K. we have women’s aid...

Maybe marriage counseling if you haven’t tried yet. Good place to start.

Been in and out. He needs to address his own issues before we can work on couple issues and he won’t go.

Had a feeling you were gonna say he won’t go... I’m sorry to hear that your having to deal with this. Sounds like you should set some boundaries on how he can and can’t treat you. Also keep working on you and your anxiety and depression, you are loved and have purpose!

Hi fallen_leaf . I think it's important to remember you are the agent of your own destiny under most circumstances. That being said, I think if you ultimately want to leave the marriage, you can. No one makes the determination if the reason is good enough but you.
