I have been married for 22 years but have been with my partner for 30 years, before we were engaged he was the epitome of love and adoration but once we became betrothed he changed or at least back then I thought he did, with hindsight I see that he was always this way.
He began his destruction of me slowly at first, I had a great job and lots of friends but he didn't like that, he berated them and chastised me for having a social life outside of us, even though he was free to see his friends whenever he wanted.
Against everyone else's better judgement we married and a year later we had our daughter, that's when it started in earnest, jealousy, he convinced me to quit my job and I reluctantly agreed, how stupid was I, it was the beginning of the end for me .
Our baby has now grown up, he didn't want any more children, I have lost my family, my friends but most of all my hopes and dreams to him but I know that I am beaten and I give up.
I am a warm, loving person, deprived of affection, judged at every turn, I spent my life walking on eggshells because I know I must have done or not done something, I smile at the world but inside I am crying, I feel lost
