I’m a stay-at-home mom. Our family relies on his income to live. We have two children and a mortgage like everyone else. We need him to keep his job.

Signs your family doesn’t like your partner They only invite you — not your partner — to family events

Next time, put your efforts into a single man, a man who falls for you because of who you are, not because he’s weak and vulnerable. A foundation of a relationship that is built upon a lie, a betrayal, will always be weak. And when the time comes, never, ever, take your eyes off of your man. My husband always told me he slept late, but I found out that was not the case. Within ten minutes of my departure, I saw the lights in the house come on. Thirty minutes later, an unfamiliar car pulled into out driveway and a woman got out. I sat in my car and cried for almost thirty minutes as the sinking realization swept over me. I went through all of the stages of grief in record time, to the point that I convinced myself this was somehow my fault and we could fix it. I just needed to find out what went wrong.

It is a spouse’s or partner’s responsibility to communicate to his or her partner what is acceptable and what is not. It is also incumbent on a spouse or partner to become educated about the law, about the disease of addiction, and to learn as much about the psychological underpinnings of the three “A’s” and these sorts of behaviors as possible. It is a partner’s responsibility to communicate as clearly as possible about what he or she believes is going on and to insist that his or her partner get help. Researchers have long reported that financial problems are the top area of conflict for most couples, and that communication is the second most-cited reason for marital discord. While that may be true, these problems pale in comparison to the severe and devastating consequences resulting from abuse, addiction, and affairs. Because if your values aren't in harmony, your goals and, in turn, your day-to-day actions, won't be either. So while small incompatibilities about subjects like holiday plans, music selections, and kitchen cabinet colors are inevitable, when it comes to the big, life-altering matters, the two of you should be gazing at the same vision board. But even if your marriage seems toxic, it ’ s not necessarily too late to reset.I have no words, its so tiring. I have been with my husband for 15 years. He has been trying to get clean on and off for 7 years. We have no kids. I was away for work last week, and my husband used cocaine twice.. in fact he could not wait to drop me at the airport. I am so happy I came across this with all of your responses! I have a husband whose always in and out of jail and currently on parole in another state. He’s an addict. The “victim” role he plays is one of the hardest for me to comprehend. Nothing is his fault, everything is my fault or someone else. Even his crimes are not his fault. In addition he manifests things and gets accusatory, when I provide solid evidence that he is lying, he will manifest another one … sadly it’s not his job to prove his lies accurate, it’s my job to prove them inaccurate. I’ve become exceptionally well at research for this reason alone. We dont argue, it’s simply he is right and I am wrong and there is no way to win it. I have never in my life felt so weak! My entire life people have told me I am strong, but this man makes me feel weak, inefficient, dumb, and to be honest he makes me feel like the poorest of humans. I have never felt so depraved of life. I wake up tired. I’m like this until I am poked. When I get poked and poked, repeatedly for almost three years, then my eyes will open and you are going to see my long, sharp teeth. Often, couples enter counseling when marriages are on the brink and it becomes clear that one or both partners need individual counseling before the couples work can be successful. This last case is an obvious example where individual therapy would be essential at the start. The husband in this instance began individual therapy and conjoint group therapy, focusing on anger management and coping skills. Most importantly, he was able to identify and stop the abusive behavior, and the couple was able to resume their progress in couples counseling. After significant time and work, they were able to salvage their relationship and the marriage. This involved the wife’s ability to forgive and trust her husband again, of course, but also the husband’s ability to express his anger toward her in a more acceptable, healthy, and helpful way. The wife certainly needed her own individual therapy before she was even close to being willing to begin the couples counseling.

Next comes the gratitude bit, which should not be underestimated. “You’ve got to find a means of expressing your gratitude for your spouse—whether a list or a journal containing reasons why you chose them to be your partner, and why you will continue to choose them.” Because he is incapable of feeling empathy, he almost enjoys seeing you in pain – either emotionally or physically. It gives him a sense of power over you. He also feels absolutely no guilt when he inflicts pain on you. What You Can Do If You Have a Narcissistic Husband Hood keeps an image of her 3-year-old self on her work desk at all times. It serves as a reminder to treat herself with the same compassion, gentleness, and fierce protectiveness that she would give to the smiling little girl in the picture. But, most of all, it inspires her to encourage everyone within her organization’s reach to do the same. Because time doesn’t mean anyone stops being worthy of the happiness and safety they have always deserved.I was becoming paranoid over my husband of ten years and the man I had been with since I was 18 years old.
