Im stuck in an abusive marriage to a christian man who threatens me?

Answer 1

If your husband is physically abusive you need to get out of that marriage. You can call women's shelters. All hospital ERs should have a number you can call or you can get help with the Nurse who provides counselling and helps you get to a shelter where your husband can't find you for safety reasons. I would try going to your Pastor and talking to him about the verbal abuse. If your husband is demeaning you try to get a little tape recorder and keep it on you for evidence. Have a cellphone on you in case you need to get out fast as well as car keys or taxi money to get out to a hospital ER where the abuse Nurse will see you . My husband can get off crazy like and I'm concerned for my marriage also. I know being a Christian wife it's not to submit to any abuse and if it's unfixable I believe it's okay to get a divorce. Find a lawyer and like I said any concern for your safety or children you need to get out. The Pastor will agree with you. If your husband starts up yelling leave the room then he might calm down. Ask yourself if you want this argumentative person. Did he lose his job? Has something happened that may have made him depressed and he may need to get his yearly physical and you can go with him and talk to your Dr about an antidepressant or a Therapist may help. But for personal safety it's best if you go to a shelter first as opposed to relatives for safety reasons. If he hits you call the police but not where he can see you. Make up things to say yes honey I see. Don't fuel the fire you want to get out when he's asleep. Like I said have a safety escape plan. I hope it doesn't come down to that especially if you have children consider their safety also.
