Re: feeling at an all time low…
Does “leaving him” have to mean something like divorcing him? No. It could also mean just walking out of the room…taking a temporary break, etc.
Am I sure that’s a good idea? I dunno. I’m not married…I’m not the authority on marriage/relationships. I’ve never claimed that my advice (whether long or brief) is the best or that it will work. I’m just putting forth suggestions like everyone else…and the OP can decide for herself what is the more suitable course of action for to take. I do, however, believe that things are not so black and white. SOmetimes talking it out and sticking around works. Sometimes being the bigger, kinder person works. And sometimes being more blunt/taking stronger action/setting boundaries/putting one in their place gives a stronger message. The frequency of the offenses also plays a role in deciding what strategy to use. And how one reacts to it will also vary.
