Mentionitis of an odd kind.

Some of you may remember I put on a post quite a while ago titled, “Gut feeling re DH and his best friend’s DW” or something to that effect.
Well now he’s got mentionitis but not in the normal way. I think you’ll guess her name when I tell you what DH says.
I feel he’s really taking the proverbial p now.
He’ll say, “Wen two three, here I come.” (One)
“What do you went for dinner?” (Want)
“Now my love, you have wended me! Was that necessary?” (Wounded)
“Anything for you dear. I shall wave my magic wend.” (Wand)

These are just some of the examples. I suppose you’ve guessed by now that her name is Wendy.
I just know they are making fun of me by carrying on an emotional affair from the things each of them say to me but I just can’t catch them out and don’t know what to do. When I’ve said anything in the past I’m told I’m paranoid. I just ignore it now but that seems to make it worse!

According to what I have read on MN, the advice given to those in the same situation as you is to get in touch with Women’s Aid who will help and advise with marital problems, which I am sorry to hear you are having. They will help with financial advice and I believe it possible to have a free half hour with a solicitor, should you reach the point you decide to leave this emotionally abusive marriage.
You deserve so much better than a life of abuse and violence from this man who treats you so badly.
