How Did You Meet?

Describe your marriage before the problem.

The beginning was a tough start, but I pushed forward and was bound to make it work.

Tell us how you first realized you had a problem.

He would come home  not wanting to share his day. Not really wanting to share anything or want to do anything with me or the children. I saw and heard thing in the marriage that didn't set well and like someone wanting to make things work I believed him. I thought it would eventually work itself out. I feel like I opened myself up to someone who just didn't care enough to open up to me. I should have realized it early on. Anyway...

Through the years I realized what he was doing and was to coward to stand up to him for fear of what he would do to me. I realized a lot of it was emotional abuse and at times it turned to physical. But not the worse of physical abuse. Just enough to call it that.

What did you do about it or if you have not done anything yet, why?

I kept caving in and finally one day I just realized it was never going to change. Of course through the years we did seek counseling but it always ended back were we started.
