writes:Where do i start? What is the difference between being mentally abused and battered? My husband puts me down all the time. Anything i do is never good enough. He yells and me and calls me names like whore, slut, b****, c***, liar(i NEVER lie to him) and other horrible names constantly. He embarrasses me in front of his guy friends, his family, my family, (i have no friends anymore 4 him to be like that in front of, i dont get to go anywhere). sometimes it will be good for a few weeks and then unexpectedly it will happen again and He gets physical with me, doing things like pushing me or putting his hands around my neck, hes choked me a few times (i stayed conscious btw). He says if it doesnt leave a bruise, its not abuse. But he leaves bruises along my spine or ribs, at one time i thought my ribs were broke. but the more and more he does it(he mostly hits my along my spine and in my head, either punch or hit or throw something)the more and more he does it the better hes becoming at no bruises. he says that me not keeping the house clean, or talking too much or , being to loud when iget excited is what trigegrs these emotions. what do i do! is it worth keeping the house clean and keepin my mouth shut just for his love?

Do what oldersister said get to a shelter and they will help you.

Think about it, read over what you have just typed out, would it be acceptable for your husband to go up to a stranger in the street that he thought was being loud,call them all the nasty names under the sun and then start choking them and then pushing or beating them? no it would not he would be in a jail, so why is it acceptable for him to do this to someone he is meant to love the person he is married to?
He sounds like that his on some sort of ego trip and is trying to control you, no one should be physically or emotional abusing you in anyway shape or form, you deserve better then that.
I suggest you don't listen to one more word that comes out of that mans mouth, his just trying to bring you down so you end up feeling worthless about yourself and that way he gains more control.
Do you really want to be walking on egg shells for the rest of your life to keep him happy ?
You should be able to be yourself and feel secure in your relationship, you should not be worrying about if the house is clean enough just so he shows love towards you instead of abusing you. This is not a healthy relationship.
I suggest you seek help, try to find a local womens shelter, a close friend or family member you can trust or if none of these maybe even the police.
I know easier said then done, but things could become a lot worse for you mentally and physically.
I wish you best of luck and I hope things work out for you, remember to love yourself and hold your head high.

You must know that mental abuse is far worse than physical. Yes they are both wrong but, when a man messes with your mind it can take so much out of you and change you, you won't even know who your are or your purpose. Take it from me who young with three small kids and just recently left my husband because of verbal abuse. I realized you are only given one life and I had to ask myself is it worth to be unhappy. I never wanted to be like many women who stayed with a man for years and later say why didn't I leave sooner. Good Luck To You. Don't have any regrets
