writes:My marriage of 15 years has been in trouble for the last 5. I have moved area twice in that time following my husbands career and have become increasingly isolated from family and friends and other support networks as a result. Each time whilst my husband has thrown himself into his new job each time I have been quite literally left to 'get on with it'. My husband is verbally and emotionally abusive and some days I just cannot take any more - my esteem is completely at a low. His family never took to me and were verbally abusive too (it is a trait that many members display) and so I stopped seeing them. Now my husband has accused me of stopping him seeing them by 'making his life awkward'. In other words I should put up with the verbal abuse from them so he can keep up appearances. He has never stood up for me. I have found this too much to stomach. Things have got so bad we are now sleeping separately and he makes absolutely no effort to socialise or to help me settle in to a new area. Each time we have moved it has been left to me to sort out packing and storage and I've been a doormat and in the last 5 years I have lived in 4 different homes (rented). Yesterday he told me he was sick of me and I did nothing for him. He wants me out the house. I am not working as I am studying and he made me sell my car 6 months ago because he was sick of the cost of it now I was not earning as usually I paid for my own car (he earns £70k per annum !). I am completely vulnerable and he is trying to get me out the house. The trouble is because he is the only earner I am just a named resident on the lease agreement. I am struggling to hold it together at the moment. Where do I stand? What should I do now?
