I had a similar situation, but I think the minor problem behaviors of earlier years escalated since he was in a very stressful job situation as well as the fact that I entered my 40's. I think that if he had been willing to go to counseling at this point and agreed to a "New Deal" we might have made it. Also, 15 to 17 years into a marriage, there is a phase that has to do with realigning the "power" of the partnership, and so a good discussion of that is worthwhile. One more suggestion is to make sure that the therapist's approach is from this angle of regrouping the relationship instead of trying to win everything over to your vision. Of course, if it is very violent verbally or physically, then it is a dealbreaker and you have a more serious situation to manage. Best of luck!

Abuse has no "start by" or "expiry" date. Sometimes it starts late, when you are well into a relationship. Two years is a long time.

It probably started right from the beginning but is escalating now.

15 years? Is this person had any major changes in their lives? You've got a good head start on turning this around if he's been "normal" up until now.

Maybe they are depressed elsewhere and is taking it out at home. Get away from them or they'll tear you apart like paper too or stay and help them..get help..call a professional..it might not be a good idea to talk to them though since it may offend them and get worse..Thats just my opinion though I dont know your situation only you do. But abuse is BAD and you KNOW it too..Tell someone about this...BEST of LUCK..

If you were married and then got married again and the first marriage got resolved years later would you have to get divorced from the 2nd marriage?

If there was not a legal dissolution of marriage petition filed and a final divorce decree granted, the first marriage would still be valid and the second marriage would be inconsequential in the legal sense, meaning, divorce proceedings would not be required for the second marriage.


Would a narcissist respect you if you waited to sleep with him?

nope....I waited to sleep with my now narcissistic ex- husband...I left the marriage after 20 years of abuse. Still cheated on me from day one. I didn't know about the cheating until some years later. He was cheating and whoring around since I wasn't giving in until marriage. Not sleeping with him only caused him to marry me. My life is full of regret now....


Why would a wife accuse her husband of abuse if he has never physically or emotionally mistreated her in 29 years of marriage?

It could have been psycological abuse. You could have made her feel like she was not worth anything and maybe put her down alot and made her have low self esteem. But the fact that you are writing here and asking makes me think that you are a nice guy just wanting his marriage to work. Maybe she said it and did not mean it. Good luck and God Bless you both:)

Should parents undergo psychological testing before having children?

Most children are not planned though so that would not work for the majority since they would already be pregnant. It would be great considering child abuse etc although many things will not turn up since the abuse can start 10 years later when their lives are totally different. The question is if we also want the government to be that much into our private life. There are still people alive today that was sterilized against their will for what the professionals thought was good psychological reasons. Many girls were for the simple reason they had sex before marriage and was a bit wild.


How old is drug abuse?

There are certain monkeys who will often lick toads or other poisonous animals and start to trip. So I'd say drug abuse has been around at least several million years.
