I have been in an emotionally abusive marriage for 37 years. Four years ago I was confronted with the reality that my husband is a womanizer besides a compulsive gambler. I thought we had a good marriage or so he always made sure I thought so. He lies and lies when confronted by me and blames me for saying "no" to sex when he wanted it. He won't take responsibility for the abuse and my depression.
I can no longer live this way, but I am having a hard time leaving. I always come up with an excuse why not today. I am seeing a therapist and hope to be able to disengage from this toxic dance soon.
