This is the last board I thought I might find myself posting on. In a nutshell, my husband and I have been married for just over 15 months. We have been together for four years and known each other for 8 years. We have a beautiful baby girl who just turned 8 months old. We are in our late 30's and both of us are cpa's. we have good jobs, a nice house, nice cars and a country club membership. and we also have a horrible marriage, mostly due to my husband's anger and drinking. In the past he has been extremely verbally abusive to me, calling me the worst names and telling me that I am stupid and it seems like everything I do is wrong. He has told me more than once that he wishes he would never married me and that I can get the $%^& out of his house. You see everything is his, no matter that I helped pay for it or that I clean it or take care of it. Tonight, I left my daughter with him to have my first ever "mommy night out" when I returned, he informed me that because I was so stupid and left the downstairs phone upstairs and he couldn't find it that our precious little girl fell off the couch when he got up to answer the kitchen phone. Thankfully, our daughter is not harmed, however, he continued his rantings at me in front of her. I refused to even acknowledge it and this made him even more mad. He started slamming things and called me the worst name you could call a women and told me that I can leave his house because he is done with me and he wants to be with someone he loves. I know what I need to do. I just can't believe this is happening. Noone has ever treated me this way. I am so sad and so hurt. But I know I have to get out for my daughter's sake. Please pray for me.

I'm sorry for what you are going through. Please put yourself and your daughter first, and get out of the situation you are in. I'm sure you are hurt and frightened. You've done everything you can---it's not your problem---it's your husband's---and he may be unable to deal with it which just makes things a lot worse.
Best wishes.

yes, the best thing you can do now is to get out of the house and take your daughter with you... find someone who will really love you and your daughter. my mother took the initiative to find a new life after abuse and as been happily married now going on 23 years...

You love him, huh?
Even though he says those things to you.? I have been there. My EX (finally)
said things that I had never heard before. I would rather have been hit.
He did that too.
Yes you should leave him. Easier said than done. Cause you know that the person you married, wasnt like that.
You do what you think is right.

Bye the way, you CAN make it on your owne, I SWEAR!
