Since the beginning, 2.5 years ago, my husband has been verbally, emotionally and mentally abusive toward me. There was a turning point early last year where he really tried not to be and get more serious about helping me with the bills, which is awesome, but when the abuse happens again I can barely handle it anymore. Something happened recently and I separated myself from him to have more space and to pull myself together. My heart feels cold toward him, which I know is wrong. I would divorce him but as far as I know, he has not cheated on me, or at least that is what he has told me, since I've asked him periodically throughout the year if we are ok as a couple, since I was suspicious a few times. I don't trust him and have told him this, and I don't think I will ever completely trust him. He wants kids but I don't want to bring kids into this, since I'm sure they will be punished for stuff that happened to him when he was a kid. I already get punished for a past I was not a part of, and I won't tolerate that from any future kids I may have with him. I'm getting better at calling him out over his behavior and he usually calms down when I do, but I'm so tired of this. Prayers appreciated. Thank you.
