Just heartbroken. Needed to rant

I need to let this out my chest. Been crying till I couldn’t breathe. I have suffered so many during the course of my 5 yr marriage. Being lied to, cheated on, hurt physically emotionally and mentally. But i still took him in, still forgives him and give my all as wife everyday. Just recently i told him as i aged (i am in mid 30s) i noticed an increasingly amount of jealousy. I have never not once been a jealous person but on 2 separate occasions i TOLD him i felt a certain way when he was acting strangely. Told him nicely at first but he is lousy dont know how to calm my overthinking mind. i went through so much in the past of course i still have that trauma. And just this second time i showed my jealousy, when he was videocalling me and his friend came and he muted the call, i asked him and his reason was nonsense- coz of some vulgarity as though im a kid. And just this 2nd time i sulk, he said this to me “please stop before i stop having feelings for u” just this 2 times. After many yrs together. But i. Went through. Years of pain. I had to live through the pain of living with someone who caused me a painful past. Flashbacks after flashbacks. I may be stupid for forgiving him but i have children so it is not as easy as walking out and goodbye. I am just so upset that i am not able to put in words. Am I overreacting? Its just twice. On separate occasions. I didnt sleep with anybody unlike him. But this 2 times, i gave in and apologised. In fact, 99% of our arguments i would be the first to say sorry and move on. Why is my life so miserable. I am just really sad for myself.

I am sorry that you have to go through this. It is verryyyy tiring to keep keeping it to yourself and like you said, always one sided. My advice is that if you feel that he is unworthy and will never ever change, but only want to stay in this relationship bcz of your children, i think it is better to leave. First step is to gather courage to stop being easily affected by his actions. This means to not have anymore feelings for him and that you are now free. Then slowly secretly research on how to have own income and get a living space for you and children. Once youve built that confidence, leave and never look bck. Listen to the song “ unstoppable” by Sia. To give you some motivation. 💪🏻 You deserve to be treated better. Life is short. Dont teach your kids that it is ok to be bullied. And that they cn shine in whatever circumstances. Be their role model. You got this!!

I understand. We never want to be pitied. But if you need time to move out, just ignore him and treat him just like a housemate and you do you. You need nothing from him now and you DO NOT owe him anything. You just build your secret fortune for yourself and your precious kids. And just keep praying too💪🏻
