Is it my fault? Husband calls me names

[Blade]

Itsahappyday... forgive me but THIS is not the place to ask such personal questions. Why? Well read.. some will give reasons why you CAN leave or what ever. Based on their own personal view of the word. And in this case would ONLY apply to them period. No one else. Jesus is real.. HE is the ONLY one that WILL help that sees BOTH sides. And He again WILL fix everything if we go to HIM 1st. Jesus is real. Praying.

I was not going to.... my own marriage .. well its flipped. And went on for what 15+ years. Since the start. The things said.. well not even your worst enemy would say to you. We have kids.. I had to be mom and dad. I got the bond with them a mother gets. So if I say I can understand stand.. I wanted you to know.. someone can. There was a time I wanted to leave. Yet knowing God wanted me to stay. I should have just left. Well if I lust after another woman and never touch her.. in my Fathers eyes I did it. Same with this. If I wanted to leave.. yet thinking.. I am staying because GOD wants me. It was a lie.

I stay because I love her. See about a year or two ago in the middle of a fight.. it was as if time stopped.. It didnt but.. its hard to explain. Well right in the middle.. Jesus just show'd up. No you couldnt see Him. But I had this LOVE I have never had before for her. I knew that if this right then was the best she was ever going to be.. I would love her treat her like a queen. Like Christ treats me. I would expect nothing ever. I wanted to just LOVE HER. He let me see past the out side to her heart. I will say.. to get to that moment to see .. I DO NOT LIKE IT! But.. that love.. we say we LOVE our enemy.. she our spouse is not..yet we dont.

We mouth the words. It is only in that moment do we truly see what we really are. And.. this love for our enemy? That love I had right then? Yeah.. was never me never us. Its ALWAYS HIM! It comes from HIM. But.. you MUST be willing open have faith in Christ. We ask we pray..but do you wait do you know He heard you do you know that you know that you know. HE WILL be there for BOTH of you?

Sis.. I know far to well the pain. And if I talked about her.. for the most part all you would read back is how bad she is. So I never tell anyone. I can say it now.. no one knows me or her. My point is.. and I DONT Like sharing.. but.. Jesus is real. HE IS since 1984 the ONLY reason we still LOVE each other. In my eyes it always takes two to fight. I am NO saint. She NEVER did anything that caused me to react a certain way. I FREELY made that choice. NO matter what she did does will do.. I NEVER have a right to touch say you name it. I have the right to get mad but only till the sun goes down. Never letting it last more then a day.

Jesus is real.. believe.. He is there.. but we must make the choice. Love ...look what He let happen to Him. He was GOD He made all we see. yet.. look what he freely suffered. Takes two to fight.. if one is not listening. It for me didnt happen over night..but.. the love back..no matter what..and truth? I always in my life look at others and everything what if it was me. So if I was her. I would want someone to love me to never ever give up on me. So.. my life..what I wanted. Matters not.. I LOVE her more them what I want. I put always my kids 1st..

JESUS is real. HE alone WILL help. NO matter WHAT it looks like sounds like. You we pray.. HE WILL answer. When we are not faithful HE ALWAYS IS! I can say.. love you.. praying for you

 

[Rescued One]

The summary of the law is that love does not harm their neighbour, do whatever you need to do to keep yourself from harm.

 

[Rescued One]

A victim is not at fault for the absolute abuse of another. I was not a perfect wife and my husband wasn't perfect either. But he never called me names, he never hit me, he worked hard, he paid the bills, etc. I was blessed. He also knew that I had seen enough of bad marriages growing up and that I wouldn't stay in one. I got along with his parents perfectly!

Ephesians 5
25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

He shouldn't be judging your behavior and using it to disobey Ephesians 5:25-29.

If a man hit me more than once I'd be gone. If he treated me like dirt verbally, I'd be gone. And he knew this before we married. I also expected good behavior of myself. I decided to let him handle the money and we never once had an argument about money. I didn't make any major purchases without his agreement. You can't call a man derogatory names and crush his ego. He didn't call me names, and I didn't call him names. When we argued neither of us ever said, "You always do that..." The past is past. Arguing about the past is useless and holding grudges is wrong. My sister wanted to argue with me; I got tired of it because she thought the way to win an argument was to list all the mistakes or wrongs a person (in her perspective) had made in the past. So I just wouldn't argue.


Ephesians 4
29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Verse 32 is the one I memorized.

 

[Rescued One]

I have tried to keep my mouth from saying bad things back for years.....while he would call me names, i would not but try to defend myself. But everyday is difficult, I am getting tired of being put down and now my speech reflects that at times. After FrIday with my wrist hurting and him yelling at me , then everyday I do something that irritates him, then yesterday morning even my drinking noise was bothering him, then he was yelling cause of my notes in the margin, then for the 0.00.....I lost it and swore.

 

[Far Side Of the Moon]

Your husband is abusive! Run and run fast.
I know you dont believe in divorce but at least seperate for a while.

It was suggested I put this in the advice forum so I am.

Is it my fault cause I swore?

I don't think I can take any more but I can't leave because I don't believe in divorce and it would give the name of Jesus a bad name. I am so tired.

I didn't swear for years but now in the past months I do swear ...Lord forgive me!!! But it's been a few years my husband has been calling me names, 4 months after we were married, like dumb stupid lazy useless, says other people think I am dumb too and most times I try to be quiet and not respond or would try to defend myself without retaliation. But I got angry tonight, it was too much.

He's said to me last year that he was disappointed in me and because he knows how the Lord thinks, the Lord is disappointed in me too. He often makes tick sounds with his tongue during the day in response to things I say or do, to show his disgust or disapproval.

I pray that my husband will forgive me for calling him names and that our marriage will be restored. I also prat that if necessary his mistreatment of me would be revealed to others but most importantly without me having to say a word or reveal anything so that I will not get blamed for revealing any thing.

I cannot go to anyone cause if he treats me bad like this for trivialities (it's not all the time though) I would be super afraid of what he in the privacy of our own home afterwards for something as big as going public with this. It would be over cause I would be too scared at that point

Pray please that he will appreciate me for who I am, that he would love me right. And stop calling me dumb stupid.

He used to call me names more often and worse, but he has improved and I believe in response to prayers on this forum before.

I get criticized for the way I speak, the way I eat (too fast), the way I drink (make too much noise), my weight, the way I do things... too often.... yet then he'll compliment me out of the blue, like he'll say he's proud of me.

Friday we were at the mall and he told me to wait in the driver seat for him to return, and to move the car if someone is behind me but to stay put .

A car came up to I drove forward and I turned the corner and a parking space was just becoming liberated. I waited a few minutes and texted him to let me know where I was when he comes out.

He was so angry that I was not waiting in front near the exit and got upset, called me stupid, dumb etc.... He said he only meant moving a foot of two to let cars pass.

I tried to explain myself but it didn't work.

So I opened the window cause I knew he would stop yelling at me and he did. Window goes up and he continues.

So at one point I angled my finger towards him and said he was a hypocrite. He grabbed my wrist so hard that it burned and 30 minutes later the pink imprint of my watch was still there on my skin. I went to church later trying not to burst into tears during the meeting.

He said I put my finger in his face and not to do that when he was driving. . But I was in the passenger side and could only angle my arm towards him up, maybe I was close.

He said because I opened the window to stop him yelling it showed him that I can betray him.

Tonight I did an excel sheet of all medical expenses. He started to yell at me cause i put notes in the 1st column, so I told him I will fix it. I removed them and resent him the file. Then he was upset because I had put all of the expenses even those covered by insurance on the sheet at 0.00 (I had highlighted those that we paid). I initially understood when he started yelling at me that he wanted them all at the nearest dollar but then understood he meant just put those expenses we were not reimbursed for. So he started yelling again and calling me stupid and dumb cause an accountant wouldn't need those figures. Saying he would give it to someone else to do. I said all he had to say was to remove the ones at 0.00 .....but I had put them all there as I was listing every one to be sure not to miss any.

He kept at it so much that I swore at him 3 times the f word and he came to where I was sitting and grabbed me by the shoulders hard and pushed me back in the chair and then grabbed my neck pushing it back. I have red marks on my shoulders, but a little bit red on my neck but nothing permanent and they are fading. The areas burn.

He said I was not saved cause I swore. When I told him I was not like this before he said yes you were ...it was in you all the time but it only came out now. Like it's being revealed now. How can anyone deal with being called stupid so many times.

I have to admit after he roughed me up I swore at him again a few times because I am so angry at being put down.. at one point after I said a swear word he looks up and said ."you hear her Lord"....as if I am the bad guy.

He took the computer off my desk, saying it was his and I had to put my stuff in a plastic container where it remains.

Afterwards last night he came to see me insisting that he didn't call me dumb or stupid and that I swore first then he called me dumb/stupid.

So I told him it didn't happen that way, that he called me dumb stupid first.

After me repeating the truth to him, he says " I said you were being dumb....."

So I kept on insisting that was not true and he starts raising his voice, calling me lazy and dumb and stupid ..again.

I help him at times with his work. He rarely helps me with things around the house. I make his meals, get his snacks, coffee water, do errands for him...but it's like he forgets. When I help him he's all appreciative then later I am lazy and do nothing again according to him.

Seriously is this a spiritual attack of some sort? What confusion!

He has grabbed me by the neck before when he was in the kitchen months ago. I threw a knife into the sink cause I was frustrated at what he was saying to me, into his precious sink, and he had grabbed me by the collar and twisted my sweater and pushed me back. I had some marks. But now he says I threw the knife at him which is not true cause he was diagonally in front of me and the sink was to his left about a foot or two away and I did a side throw into the sink.

I am so so so so tired of being called dumb and stupid.

No one would believe me and would probably blame me by saying I am not saved or that he married beneath him. If I said anything or revealed it he probably would tell everyone that I am not saved and an angel of light, something he's said to me before which really hurts and lie about things.

2 years ago I used to call prayer lines when he used to call me names but when he found out I called them he called me a spiritual whor.... so I promised him I would not call again.

I have seen him reveal things about people behind their backs which discredit them, making him the good gut but with me, if he discredits me publicly right now, it will bring him down too so he only does it to me in private.

He is so good at being kind, considerate outside the home. He knows the Word of God very well and prays beautifully and is highly respected by a lot of people, but not all.

I am the loser, the one with no talent or accomplishments that he married and as he says is blessed to be with him. He said other women we know would love to be in my shoes and starts naming them.

He's not evil but like me has areas he needs to work on. I have to stop swearing.

The devil would love for us to be divorced but I want to obey the Lord.

Please research the topic of domestic abuse. Not uncommonly things escalat. It sounds like your self esteem is going down as a result of all the name calling. You need to get help and so does he. Unfortunatley most domestic abusers do not change. But YOU can change! You can decide you are not putting up with it

I pray you will get free and get healed, and ditto for your husband if possible.

True in many points. He did ask me to open up to him, open my heart a few weeks ago though, but whenever I have done that in the past he uses what I share in future arguements to hurt me so I am trying to not share things.

 

[Elliewaves]

Even if I swore at him? Won't people say I provoked him (even though he had already called me dumb stupid)?

No, most people wouldn't say you provoked him. Swearing at him because you are frustrated that he mentally and physically abuses you and you want it to stop, is quite understandable. Odds are that your husband hasn't hidden the monster within as well as he thinks he has , and anyone that knows him can see things about him that would make them believe you. Please stay safe and make steps to get help!

Obeying the Lord does not include supporting someone who is practicing a pattern of sin.
Your husband an abusive wolf in sheep's clothing and certainly not being faithful to his marriage vows.

Legal divorce is not a sin. To be divorced by the governent is not a sin. The problem lies in the taking up of a new relationship or marriage. That is where the sin is. God put the seal of approval into your marriage and any lesions out side of that marriage is an issue. I say he is abusive. I think you should at minimum do a trial separation. But realise no matter what happens legaly you are still married in Gods eyes and should pray and do penance for his soul so he can understand what it has become ie. (Not christian) because Jesus is love and to immitate Him is to love what you have right now does not sound like love.

Disengage as greatly as possible and make The Sign of The Cross over him mentally not physically as if you have Jesus Holy Crucifix in your hand saying Jesus Holy Spirit God Holy Mother Mary please help me while attacks are occurring then wait for the changes by our Lord Jesus God our Heavenly Father Holy Spirit and Holy Mother Mary asking Holy Saints and Holy Heaven to pray for you both daily x 7 days

It was suggested I put this in the advice forum so I am.

Is it my fault cause I swore?
...

I think swore is not good, but it is no reason to treat other badly. I think he should read these:

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;… … Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
Eph. 5:25,28-29


Husbands, love your wives, and don't be bitter against them.
Col. 3:19

I think it is really good that you don’t want divorce and your husband should love you and treat you well also because of that.

He completely denied putting his hands on my neck and squeezing! I don't get it. He says if I stop doing stupid things he'll stop calling me stupid dumb.

I've said all I have to say on the matter, my suggestion is to leave but to pray for him. You are who you are and God loves you . If you stay there it's unlikely to change because he is who he is too. So you shouldn't be amazed at what ever he does next. You have 4 pages of advice here all speaking to you along the same lines. We will pray but the next move is yours.

I'm a teen-ager. I don't have your experience. But I volunteer in a women's refuge. I hear your story and it's a replica of theirs.

They didn't leave thinking it would get better... It didn't it got worse.

They were told it was their fault for everything that went wrong.... It wasn't it was their partners incapacity to control his own anger and his own failings that he would take out on his wife.

They were frightened to leave... He controls everything including the bank accounts.

They thought he wouldn't hit them again..... He did and it escalated.

He was often so nice... Nearly always to those who were looking in. "Such a nice guy"

He is using the Bible to justify the unforgivable. Seek help from an agency who deals with domestic abuse and make a plan that requires him to change or that enables you to leave. That includes financial and legal planning.
