Is it that hard to leave?

I love my husband but in the last 3 years he has had an affair, became violent (only 2 times), and seems to becoming a more insensitive a** with each passing month. He is the father of our two girls ages 6 and 10. We have been together for 15 years and I do still love him but not sure if it is worth staying.

    That's hard. Having children in the situation makes it even more difficult. I personally have never experienced this, but I did watch my mother and father go through the same thing.

    Personally? Get the kids out. Watching my father being violent towards my mother has left me with emotional scars that I'm still working out. This doesn't mean that you need to get a divorce, but consider separating, if only to put the kids in a safer situation.

    Sit down with him and recommend he get counseling on his own, and possibly consider couples counseling. He needs to deal with what ever it is that is eating him up, and an unbiased third party is a good way to see where you two stand.

    Only 2 !! Once is enough, how long are you going to take the abuse, tell him to get his sorry butt out and stay with the whores he is dating. Maybe not having his family there to browbeat will make him wake up, and give you time to realize that love for the other person isn't always what it takes to make it work. It takes two, and only one is trying. You are also teaching your two girls that it is okay to be abused in the name of love. Don't you want better for them?

    So long as your husband living with you coming home and having two girls it not necessary to be away from him.You please lean art of making him to attract towards you. Since you do love to be with him.Time will heel the problem,wait patiently.

    Be polite,modest,dutiful to him, make him spend time with children this means you are also with him when he is with children.

    Please avoid fingering at him for any thing.If is possible request parents to advise. You will find a change that he will retain you then get all good returns mutually.Good Luck.physiology

    He has become violent only two times. That says it all and is two times too many. Your children do not to deserve to live like this. Your job as a mother is to keep them safe and to raise them into great men. You cannot do this with them living this life. You owe it to them if you will not do it for yourself to leave.
