Sorry I haven't been on okay so my husband attempted suicide and went to the psych ward this happened on September 2-7. After that things were going well or so I thought. Hubby and I then got in a huge fight on October 13 th. It started out as all our fights due arguing about something stupid. then it went really bad. He stormed off into the room and made a really nasty comment. I backlashed and said fine we could get a divorce and went to go get on the laptop and look up a number to a divorce lawyer. He then got so angry he pulled the chair out from under me seriously injurying my back causing me to break down in tears having to crawl to get up off the floor where I had fallen. He then smashed the laptop in anger completely ruining it. Then he blocked my way for 20 minutes as I begged and told him I needed to go to the ER that I was in severe pain. He told me no not until I divorced him then he finally let me go. I made it to my moms which was next door and they took me to the ER. I found out nothing at the ER they gave me pain meds and hubby was so upset I seriously considered leaving him. he then apologized and said it would never happen again. I stayed with him but don't totally trust him now. But we are trying to work things out. I need lots of prayers that I will do the right thing. Miss you all. I will try to be on as much as possible. Thanks for the best wishes

Tabby

You need to dump hm.

Tabby, I previously recommended a book for you to read..Suicide, The Forever Decision. Skip that one and read The Gift of Fear by Gavin Debecker.

Great to hear from you but wish the news had been better.

Tabby has this happened before? It shouldn't have even happened this time. Being a survivor of spousal abuse...my radar goes up. Whether you love him or not, a relationship that is full of arguments (which includes verbal and emotional abuse) isn't good.

From what little I read, the relationship doesn't sound healthy. I agree with Barb.

Tabby I'm sorry to read your updated post. How sad that things turned out this way. All I can say is that I will pray you make the right decision. Take care ! X

Tabby ... I'm sure glad to read that you are happy. I hope you stay that way.
I don't know where you live but I'm reasonably certain there is a domestic abuse clinic in your area. They would be glad to listen to you and help you in so many ways.
They do not involve the police are anything scary ... they just want to help you.
And usually expense is nothing to worry about with these kind, gentle, professional people. Their help is free or pay what you can.

((Tabby)) I'm sorry if I sounded abrupt, especially not knowing your circumstances. I hope you come by to talk some more and let us know how everything is going. I do hope, though, that your lines of communication with each other improves. Fighting is so nasty and so much more can be accomplished with talking things out rationally. I just worry that he resorted to an act of violence.

Take good care of yourself, too.

I've been in an abusive relationship and it doesn't get any better except for brief "honeymoon" periods. You just try harder and harder to please your abuser; and think if you just love him enough he will change. Try to get out now before it gets worse.
