My husband earns very good, whereas I am a housewife. He keeps bragging that he is more important and that i should be grateful all the time and do whatever he says. He belittles me in front of my family, friends and sometimes even in front of the help – driver / cook etc. I have lost all confidence in myself. I don’t have courage to leave him, or even stand up to him.
Just needed to vent somewhere..
Hearing about such people leave a bad taste in my mouth!
you have to understand that what your husband is doing is a kind of mental abuse!
You should not have to take it. Please talk to parents at least, or a friend, take some counseling to get back your self confidence.
You have a right to be respected. Do not undermine your self.
You have to take a stand for yourself, dear. No one has any right to belittle you be it your parents, in-laws or your husband.
I would seriously suggest telling him that such behaviour is not acceptable.
