@scalingstories: u/IndependentDrive544 My wife of 20+ years was severely mistreated and abused as a child, never knowing proper love, so I’ve tried my best to be there for her as her rock and support, but after years of being her punching bag and being mistreated with no end in sight, I’m rethinking if this is the life I really want. Plus three updates. 0:00 Original Post 16:51 Update (3 Days Later) 20:14 Second Update (6 Months 2 Weeks Later) #scalingstories #minecraftparkour #reddit #redditreadings #redditstories
"We have a wonderful marriage" He proceeds to describe a multitude of abuses, infidelities and deceptions.

Say it with me: being abused or having mental health issues does not excuse the abuse of others. If shes in therapy, she needs a new therapist bc obviously its not working. Good for him for leaving

Like the first comment said, if the roles were reversed there would be no question about leaving. I hate that society flips the script so much depending on gender for certain (many) things

This sounds like a horror film. I actually feel very unwell for what OP has gone through. He needs to document EVERYTHING and fill for divorce with evidence of DV.

I’ve only gotten to the second update—love bombing, and I feel like she or one of her friends found his Reddit post.

I was already on the "you need to leave" side, the second he said that she hit him, I went to the "you need to press charges and get an order of protection" side.

He needs to talk to his daughter to make sure she isn’t being treated the same way her mom treated her,,, she’s absolutely perpetuating abuse, and I don’t think she actually thinks she’s done anything wrong

Megan Marguerite :
Being abused may explain but doesn't excuse abuse. She needs to be active in her therapy and not to her comfort and stability, to benefit the family and quit abusing her spouse and children

He needs to get out. It’s not gonna get better because she doesn’t want to get better. She gives empty apologies

Nope and nope. He needs to leave her. If he EVER lost control of himself and hit her back, his life would be ruined.

Katrina Soards :
a) couples therapy when there is DV involved isn't appropriate, b) this guy makes me so sad. he can't let his wife treat him like this constantly, regardless of her past/ issues. she needs to reevaluate her therapy needs and work on herself instead of treating him like a bad person

Remember people, if your partner (the gender doesn’t matter) ever hits you on purpose, LEAVE. It doesn’t matter if they were drunk or didn’t hurt, LEAVE because you don’t deserve to be a punching bag.
