My husband is treating me like absolute dirt. I hate him with a vengeance.
He thinks that I am beneath him and talks to me like I am an idiot.
I spend so much of my day crying as I feel so worthless and that I have failed miserably.
Sometimes I feel so alone, like I am the only person in this painful world.
I have asked him to respect me and understand that I am his partner but he does not care. I cannot continue like this.
We have been together for three years now but I cannot endure this pain he causes me.
We have no children and there is no real reason left for me to stay.
I can get employment wherever I choose to live.
I do not love my husband anymore.
Am I doing the right thing.

THERE is little that I can add to this.
You have admitted that you do not love this man – why then would you stay?
Please do not do anything foolish.
You seem to know that it is time to leave and you appear that you can be employed.
You have all the things that you need at your fingertips.
You just need to make the decision and make the move.
I would suggest that you do sound terribly depressed and I wonder if maybe a small dose of counselling might help you.
Think about it.
Somebody objective to hear of your pain might just be what you need to clear your head and heart.
I feel for you and will keep you in my thoughts.
Keep smiling and look to the future.

SOUNDS like a class A douche. Time to leave.
