Furthermore, the bit about the mother part was in reference to how he witnessed his own mother being abused by his father verbally and physically. He told me she didn't do much about it-- she basically took it. She has talked with me about what she went through with his father, who she divorced, and believe that his father's negative behavior had some influence on him. He has laid his hands on me in the past. I was not going to be attacked by him without me trying to defend myself, although I would always end up very hurt. He's very tall and strong. When he saw I would not give into his fists he gave up. But he continues with the verbal abuse and raging displays. My mother in law gave into the abuse, and suffers even now to this day from it. She's afraid of having romantic relationships, because of her experience. I have to remind him when he's going through fits that I'm not like his mother, and will not be silent to his wrath. He knows I'm strong-willed, but puts me through the wringer sometimes, hoping to see me break down. It will never happen. My children depend on me.

I heard you're shaving your face and washing up in the wash bowl in the mens public washroom at the church. Are you serious? Knowing how you shave and nick yourself? Why not in the private one, the one that was being used in first? Do you know what you are exposing yourself to? Heck, what you could expose us too? You don't know what people have, as they go in there and do their duty, wash their hand and leave their germs behind.And I want to point out one little thing, since no-one else will bother reading all the way through this:
How dare you feel comfortable in being away from home, doing everything my mother asks you to do, but don't give a dime worth of respect for your own family, for your own wife.He listens to your mother, but not you. Go find a mirror, take a long hard look in it and ask yourself why that is.
$100 says it's the same reason I'm looking at a giant wall of borderline dementia passing itself off as family values. I'd elaborate further but people who expend this much effort on extolling how "hard" their life is are never interested in the perspectives of others (husbands included... *hint hint*) so I won't bother.
Matter of fact, you left me whenever I was ill.If you whine this much when you're perfectly healthy, I don't blame him.
