My husband and I have been married for under 2 years and already contempating a divorce. Basically, I am at a point in my life where I do not know where to turn. I have a verbally abusive husband who feels he is not abusive. I waited quite sometime before marrying only to find a man very similar to my father in an abusive nature. How can it be that I being soft spoken, attractive, giving, loving attracted a man just like my father! I waited years to find someone I could love, have children and grow old with....only to find a controling, manipulative and abusive man. CAn anyone relate?

Sad and alone.

If everything you say is true, he is verbally abusive and he refuses to change even though you have told him it upsets you, then your answer is quite clear in my opinion. Leave him and definitely do a lot of soul searching on why you attract a person like that, so that you don't do it again. Lifes too short to be miserable.

God hates divorce. I hate it too. Verbally abusive? That's bad. It's worse that you indicated he doesn't think so. Perhaps some counseling is in order? Let a counselor decide what is abusive and then focus on some solutions.

Divorces without kids are serious too. Don't be quick to think that you will do better next time. 60% of 2nd marriages fail too.

God bless,

Gravity
