He just told me that there are 5 types of people and te kind of person i am, he has to use the rod of discipline to beat the stupidity out of me. That I don't learn with softness. Maybe I am clueless / do stupid things at times, could he be right?
Maybe please pray I will be smart not stupid.
Lord we bring Itsahappyday, and her husbands problem to you, please solve and bless this couple. Let you work in Itsahappyday's husbands mind and heart , and let him love his wife dearly and let not he open a way for satan to come and destroy their peace and joy in marriage. Lord heal their marriage, bring down the power of darkness and let you be glorified in this marriage and couples life. In Jesus glorious name, Amen!
I think it would be a good idea to secretly document his threats. If you can get him to respond to emails like where you say that you didn't want to be the kind of wife that he thinks needs "the rod of correction", and then he responds with more of the same, that would be great in a court situation. Ask him, also, why he feels you are stupid, and what he thinks might help.
If in the future you can get any others to corroborate his abuse, that would be very helpful too.
I'm pretty sure that you can secretly tape record any ol' thing you want in your own home, so you could mention to him some of the threatening and demeaning things he has said to you and ask if he still feels the same way. Also, you may wan to ask him why he threw that roll of toilet paper at you.
Do this in a non threatening, maybe even timid, way so he doesn't suspect a thing. Document. Document. Document. I pray you will do so verrry discretely and with protection if so.
There is a lot of info on the net about how to escape domestic abuse and how to hold the abuser accountable in court. Again, domestic abusers rarely ever change, but very commonly escalate in their abuse.
I pray you will be guided by the Holy Spirit and protected by angels.
My husband just said that Monday he will be speaking to a lawyer to divorce me. He says I am stupid. When I asked him about the promises he made to me, till death do us part, he said I am dead to him. He said he'll be happy when I am gone.
He doesn't like it when I defend myself, he only remembers what I might have said in response to his comments, nothing about the hurtful things he said. I am very distracted and clumsy.
He sounds like he hates me. I said we could go for counseling but he said he wouldn't go see someone who knows less of the Bible than he does.
He even threw a paper towel roll that was almost full in my face.
Please pray for healing of our marriage.
If we divorce, I will need serious counselling because I think I am starting to believe I am stupid.
Then yesterday I didn't realise he wanted the papers filed in a folder starting with the latest date at the back (so 1st January top to 31st). I put the 31st on top and went backwards so that the 1st was at the back of the file folder and this caused him to be so angry and call me stupid. He said a book begins at one, I said this is not a book and I said I didn't know he wanted it that way.
Maybe please pray I will be smart not stupid.
Oh, good for you that you have taken some steps to be proactive, as in recording conversations.I did have recordings but he found out and I deleted many of them. I did record Saturday's tirade about me being stupid.
I don't talk to anyone about this. When I talk to someone he makes it sound as if he can hear or know my feelings or what was said.
Even when I went to eat with my best friend after I think a year since we had gotten together, when I arrived home he said something along the lines of "what did you say to her that you felt bad or regretted saying", I couldn't think of anything and he said when I was out with her, he felt there was a moment where I said something I regretted. Then I remembered that I mentioned to her things about another friend and was not sure I should have shared them with her.
Recently I took someone to the hospital so they took me to lunch, when I got back he asked a similar question, questioning if I said something I regretted.
I said no but I told him the person I was with had made a comment that our first year of marriage must not have been easy, seeing how neat he is, etc... and then my husband got upset saying this person was fishing.
I told him that I said to the other person that I was not organized nor neat before marriage, and I'd rather be neat and organized like him than the way I was before. Besides it was just one comment out of a few hours of innocent chatter.
my sister start reading the Bible if you don't already STUDY it for these reasons
If you are truly a follower of Christ you will be able to discern if he is real or not you need to know the Bible for this if he is not true (he threw somthing at you and is acting very un Christian ) then have confidence in the Lord he was a non believers and just let him go he is not part of Gods plan for you
The other reason is you cannot follow the Word of God made flesh known as the Christ if you don't read what He said
I do read and know the Word of God, and that is why even if he is an unbeliever I cannot go.
The Word of God says 1 Corinthians 7:12-13
To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him.
Thank you for what you wrote. Emotional blindness seems to be his case It's always about him or my fault because in his eyes I was the one who wasted his time arguing. Nothing to do with him getting angry or putting me down.Oh, good for you that you have taken some steps to be proactive, as in recording conversations.
One of the techniques that it seems your husband is using is the very common one of "gaslighting." You might want to check out how that works with abusers.
There are support groups online for people who are suffering as you are. I know some of those videos I referenced talk about some of them, for example. Of course he doesn't have to know you went there what with passwords and deleting history. One of the things those support groups, and the vids, say over and over is that the abuser is not going to change. He may make you think, in his Dr. Jeckyl mode, that he is going to change, but that is just to keep you on the yoyo. The psychotherapists and other health care professionals that I mentioned say such people have zero interest in changing. Many like their abusive games. It can be how they get their kicks.
If you want to document written communications or even, as some suggest, keep a log of abuses past and present, Drop Box is free and can be private. One thing, though, every time you log in they send you an email to let you know "someone" has been to your account there, so you have to remember to delete that real fast. With Drop Box, in regard to emails, you have to be sure that you are saving the entire email, all the meta data like when it was sent, by whom, to whom etc.
Here is another vid below that I, personally, thought was enlightening. It's about why, if you think your abuser is a narcissist (ditto sociopath or psychopath) that you should not try to let him know that you are catching on, maybe in the hope that he can begin to see the "light". They don't seem to be able to see the "light". It's like they have emotional blindness in many ways and only the Lord can fix it. Sadly, I have seen no one saying that the Lord did fix it. I know He could, just saying the professionals' observations and statistics, again, show such abusers virtually never change.
Now here is a sad thought. The Savior said that there are demon seed out there, people planted by the devil. I have no clue if your husband is such a one. But, I do know that such people can never be saved, or even really humanized, and that He said they wind up in the fiery pit at the end.
You can help you, though. And I know the Savior will guide you and protect you as you turn to Him.
Perhaps it would help you to study the Word more carefully, particularly some words from Paul. Per my understanding you may not divorce him - though he can, and likely would divorce you! - but you can leave him. If you had children and he was threatening their lives every night, even your life every night, with a shotgun, would it make sense to say "Still, I cannot go"? Of course you should get such person out of your life and theirs!I do read and know the Word of God, and that is why even if he is an unbeliever I cannot go.
The Word of God says 1 Corinthians 7:12-13
To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her. If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him.
