Yesterday I told my husband I wanted a divorce after he told me
he has been going to nude clubs.

I told him that's adultery. He said he doesn't care about that anymore.

He said it in front of our 5 year old son who was in the car with us at the time.

Also my husband, on the same day, told me he's forbidding the children from seeing me. Ages 9, 5 and 2. Until I get a job. This is easy for him to do because we do not live under the same roof.

I'm worried and scared. He has a horrible temper and curses out God and Jesus at the top of his lungs and cusses me out and tells the children to cuss, too. I'm sometimes scared of him, but since yesterday I feel so alone.
I cried over losing contact with my children.
I just don't know what to do.
We were going to go to the county courthouse together today to file, but
I put it off. I got him to say he'll consider counselling.

Counselling didn't go so well last time we tried it. It was the most abusive
2 hours of my week. Husband just yelled and cursed at me most of the time
and the pastor put up with it and coddled him.


I don't know what to do. My own parents divorced and I always vowed as a
child that I'd never do that to my own kids. But things are so bad now. Really bad. I'm all alone now. He doesn't visit me or bring the kids by now. He wants me to get a job. But only to support him, since he's unemployed, too.

Just pray for something good to happen. I don't know what. Thanks.

I'm praying for you and your family, including your husband. I read some of your past posts about this. I am appalled at the way your husband has treated you. I do not know what occurred in the past, however, and if there is something that set him on this wide road headed in the wrong direction. May the Lord give you strength through this very painful time.

Update:
As of today, I told my husband I don't want a divorce, and he's consenting to stay married to me.

I told him I want to be treated right. He told me "then you've got to follow my rules."
I'm in discussion with my dad over whether or not his rules are reasonable.
He has certain stipulations, I don't know if I can go along with or not.
For now, there is no divorce, though.
I still don't get to see the kids yet. Frustrating.

Your situation is deplorable, I am sure the Lord does not approve.

Your husband sounds like a typical narcisstic personality. Google the term, you will, I believe, find him to fit the category completely.

As to rules, that is a bunch of garbage, there are no "rules" as he is wanting them, in a marriage, you do NOT have to follow his rules. I am sorry, but, if it were me, I would separate for awhile, have a good, Christian lawyer help you so you can see your children, and try to sort your life out. This man is ruining your self-esteem, I can see how he is beating you lower and lower into the ground. Abuse is not always physical, mental and emotional abuse is just as bad.

Please, for your own well-being and your children, think about a separation, you sure do not have to get a divorce, but, the time away may help.

Sorry that I am not more positive. I have said a prayer for you.

I agree that he is narcissistic and verbally/emotionally abusive. However, I have always believed in the scripture verses that teach a woman submit to her husband "in all things." Plus, I'm unemployed--I can't afford a lawyer. It seems to me that the only way for me to see my children grow up is to stay married to this man.
