I need advice....I been with my husband for about 2 yrs. He is so jealous and controlling. he doesn't let me go out, talk on the phone, and always cursing and everything but when I leave he sweet talks me to come back. I have a 11 month son, who I dont want to suffer when he gets older. What can I do to really break-up with him? How do I break it off with him?

You just haveto leave him period.I was ina 7yr relationship full of pure hell!!At first he was sweet and fun.Then a few years later he started getting controlling and talking down to me.And then all of a sudden he started hitting me.I mean BEATING me.I also have a son with him.My son is 2 yrs old.I have an 8 yr old thats not his but looks at him like her father since her father was never there.I left him a months ago and its been hard and hes been putting me through hell.Hes busted my house windows hes threatened to kill me and my kids but you know what....i will not let him scare me in to getting back with him.Im going to tell you from experience that it only gets worse soon he will be hitting you and maybe even your child(you never know).You dont want your son growing up seeing that cuz then hell turn out like that or even worse just be flat out traumatized and have a messed up life.I decided to put me and my kids first and i left him.I would never be with him again.And i would never be with any man like that again.Its scary and it gets scarier IF YOU LET IT GET THAT FAR.It starts as controlling...then it goes to hitting....then it goes to cheating.....and it just goes on and on and the only way to stop it is to leave.This man has mentally traumatized me.I dont htink i could ever trust another man in my life.Its only been 2yrs for you,leave now while youre still sane.Because literally i feel crazy...insane...

I understand, everytime I leave him he threatens to take my car, or hit me if he catches me in the streets, etc...and I guess I go back cause of fear. I left him a couple times, and I don't know why I came back...and trust me I REGRET it. I'm planning to leave him very soon, abd go back to my parents house till I get back on my feet.

I guess I have to be strong, because he says he cries and feel heartbroken if I left...I guess I gotta move on and try not to care.

yes move on and dont believe him when he says those things because it took me 7 yrs to realize that if he really cared he wouldnt do the things he did.A guy can manipulate and brain wash you.I bet you still love him!!I know because i still love my ex.But i know now that it was just one sided.Being abused wether its emotional or physical is very traumatizing.Good luck and be strong if not for you then for your son.Ive been doing that for 3 weeks now...hiding from him at my parents or my sisters house.I have to hide.He knows where i am but he wont mess with me when i have other people around me.Dont worry.But i will tell you that the day you decide to leave which i hope is today....get a restraining order.Yea i know its only a piece of paper but its a piece of paper that says if he even calls you he will be arrested.Its a protection blanket.If he even has other people call you he can go to jail.Just do what you can to keep you and that baby safe.I know the pain of seeing fear in your little babies eyes and i know the pain of wanting to keep them safe.GOODLUCK.And leave if not tonight...tommorrow.I talk to you with my heart like i know you because in a waqy i do know you.I know your situation and i feel your fear.If i can do you can.Just be safe and get that restraining order,

That really doen't sound good at all my sis is a relationship that isn't healthy either she's the only one who doesn't see it as for you I hope you get out while you can it's uncool that someone would treat you this way and verbal sometimes can lead to more like hitting and worse don't take it from him if you can please get out of this, it's unfair he treats you this way

Hi
I myself am a stubborn women like very I won't let someone tell me what to do I might lash out at the person or resent them for the way they've been treating me. It's tough when it comes to a child ,but in your heart you have to do what's right fro yourself and for your little one. It's not easy ,but maybe walking would be best not that anyone wants to be a single parent. If my boyfriend or husband I don't have a husband yet it's on my list of things ,but if he told me I couldn't see my friends and wouldn't let me talk on the phone and was controlling i would leave even if a part of me still loved him ,but I doubt I'd feel loved at that point if he treated me like that. Were both stubborn he doesn't like to be told what to do either. Not that I would I give him advice or I just listen to if he has a problem with something. I hope everything's ok with you and for your child's sake you did the right thing sometimes the hardest choice is the best one. I had a friend who was in a abusive relationship and she was afraid to leave him and by the end it wasn't verbal anymore he was hitting her and she left him even though they have a son together they weren't married ,but what a mess it could have been if they were he thinks key word the place was his it is under her name so there forth your out of luck he is a horrible father barely raised that child it's been her and her parents. She works close to full time on top of that and he's almost 3. She just wants to raise the boy well so he won't be like his father. It's hard watching someone as in a friend you care for going through this. Your remind me of my friend I hope things worked out for you.

listen for everything there's a solution plz dont take any hasty decisions..every marriege go through some hurdles..but things has to be soughted out every cleverly..think about ur child who's just started seeing world through ur eyes...talk to ur husband..sometimes it does work...just ask him whatz his problem...discuss...ask his views..put up urs..handle it very tactfully...if cant just take help from ur elders,friends,his close relatives...breaking off is not the solution..HAVE PATIENCE

NOBODY SHOULD "HAVE PATIENTS" WITH ABUSE!!!!What youre telling this girl to do is literally dig her own grave.You can only know the situation if youre in it.I was in an abusive relationship and it dont get better!!!!So youre tellingher to have patients?along with patients comes time and after a while he'll start hitting her..

I was in a verbally abusive relationship for years and it was on the verge of getting physical, get out now, he will sweet talk you everytime you go to leave, mine did. Finnally one day my son and I got in the car and headed north and never looked back. It's a very difficult thing to do and it hurts, but I have never regretted it. My relationship was a lot longer than yours and I don't know why I stayed as long as I did, that's why I'm suggesting you get out now while you still have your self-esteem, don't wait til it's gone because it takes years to rebuild.
