Hi I’m new but my husband has been arguing really aggressively again and told me to go commit suicide! No apologies today never does and the atmosphere in the house is tense

As most have said you are living with a domestic abuser and no partner needs to tolerate abuse these days. You can telephone a Domestic abuse line to chat with someone about what you are experiencing. They can't give advice but they can help clarify all the questions you have. Everyone who experiences domestic abuse is in a dark place, it's hard to think straight and they help you to see what is right and what is wrong.

If you are ever threatened please phone the police. If he is using emotional & psychological abuse now it can develop quickly into physical abuse. As it seems to have gone on a long time you must talk about it. I expect your mother, family & friends are aware but do not want to bring it up with you. Have somewhere "safe" to go to in a hurry in case things become too much.
Contact Women's Aid, they can give advice and support.
Don't try and cope with this on your own and all best wishes. And hugs

I have seen this sort of behaviour used against my sil. Her husband of 40 years kept her in much the same way. All her salary went into his account and he would give her £100 per month to spend on food for the family.

Five years ago she met someone, left my bil and now has a life where she is now at peace with herself and her new life.

They are now divorced, got half his pension, half the house and savings. I used to be a pension administrator and in theory the couple will have all assets including pensions split equally. It is up to the court to decide how the pension is split and will involve actuaries to make calculations. It's an expensive process so be sure to have some money set aside.

Never mind you mother, this is YOUR life not hers. Go live it before it's too late!!

Good luck, and I sincerely hope you will find a new life that you deserve.
