Why does he say such mean things? Does he get violent and hit you? How long have you been married? How does he act after he says the mean things? Is he this way with everyone. Or...just you?
I feel for you.This type of behavior is intimidating and demoralizing. It really gets to you after awhile. But ...don't believe what he is aiming for. His behavior is trying to make you feel worthless and HE wants to be in control and always right.
Be strong.You need to tell him to knock it off. If you still love him, pray to God to change his ways and love you. If he can't change his ways...you are right...your actions, thoughts, life is what you have control of. Then, you have to really do some soul searching and ask yourself...are you better off with him...or without him. He needs an attitude adjustment, either way, before he gets knocked upside his noggin by someone. Good luck, hon. I hope he gets cured of his contrairiness. . I don't know if I spelled that right. Let us know how you fare, ok.? GODSPEED.

Thank u for commenting, no physical abuse. I am very sensitive and he is the opposite. But at times he is verbally abusive and i have called him out on it, but not for several days after and in the meantime, i act very cold and unloving as i still feel hurt by him with no apologies...he is over it and doesnt understand why i am standoffish. I think if we both work at it consistently, it could be great. I am willing to, but i just pray that he is too. Been married 4 years.

Well, that's good that he doesn't get violent! I guess you might benefit But growing a "thick skin". Sometimes, men are totally clueless. If he gets verbally nasty, ALL THE TIME, get a tape recorder and hide it in a place where you sit(and he CANT see) and turn IT on. If he says something verbally abusive...just keep recording it. Do this for several times...then SOMETIME, when he has no clue what he has said and why you are upset...you can let him listen to it. If he's really been a nasty little bugger, and he's honest, he'll be able to see how he's acting. Plus, you could get someone else to listen to you both talking....maybe you are being too sensitive. Use it as a learning experience. Then again, let it out and tell him off, give back to him just as good as he gives you. Dont be mad...just be matter of fact. Get mean. When he's nice...you be nice.
