Cerberus_Raphael agony auntYou have the strength to leave him. Prove him wrong and leave him without a word. When he starts wondering where you went or why, he will remember and he will see how incredibly wrong he was. You know it is not impossible. You know you can do it and there is no reason why you should abstain from it.

I hope that helps.

I've worked at a woman's shelter, and I can tell you this much:

It's not your fault, it's never your fault. You are the victim here.

Verbal abuse is despicable, because he knows what to say to make you want to stay, but in this instance you need to listen to your gut. Please listen to your gut. Don't feel guilty, because he will try to make you feel guilty, but you need to leave. There are people out there who care about you, and you deserve someone who is worth staying with, who won't mistreat you and get drunk without thinking about other people.

Remember: The only reason he will ever reassure you he isn't cheating or try to "make up" is that he wants to make sure you don't leave. Don't fall for it, it could only escalate from here. If you accuse him, make sure you're around a friend that you trust when you do it. You shouldn't have to go through this alone. If you want to leave, make sure he isn't there, make sure you have a place to go (a woman's shelter or a homeless shelter), get your stuff there, and then break up in public or over the phone. Don't tell him where you are.

Is there an area woman's shelter you could go to to seek confidential help? Tell them the situation and let them guide you through this, I wouldn't seek the guidance of the average person because many people don't understand how men use the power of the system and stereotypes to control women.
