Am I wrong about my thinking

I am 46 yrs old. I was married once for 20 yrs and he ended up becoming an alcholic and never home. I had a daughter at the time was 13 when I finally left him. I now have been with a man for 4 yrs. He seemed so jelous of my daughter and I's relationship..We are very close and always enjoyed doing things together..We had gotten married a yr ago and now he said because of our fights about my daughter it has ruined our romance and he said he doesn't love me like he use to. He hasn't touched me in a month..I finally broke down and told him I can't live with some one that doesn't think I am a good wife and mother..his response was no your not..He is an angry man and I am a care free woman..I don't let little things bother me and he does.He has always blamed my daughter for any thing that has caused a fight between us..She is scared to even be in the same room with him..She's 19 now and I don't see her much any more..Am I wrong for not sticking with my husband. During our fights he will call me names ..I know names shouldn't hurt you, but they do me..He says I'm to sensative..I think I am  to caring..I love my daughter and I'm afraid I will loose her.. I always stick up for her and he thinks that is wrong I should be on his side...She's a great young lady...doesn't drink or do drugs and she is in college and working part time..

You are to be admired for bringing up your daughter to adulthood with positive values despite what she saw in her father. I would personally like to see you free of this man who is akways so angry; if not with your daughter then he will find something else to anger him and to blame. You have too much to offer this man that could be shared with someone who is more mature and caring. Do not degrade yourself you have shown yourself to be a good and caring person. No one has the right to tell you to separate from your daughter.

Well,

From the way you phrased your question, I think you are looking for people to say you are right and he is wrong.

Reality is probably much more complex.

I think you certainly have done a good job at raising your daughter.
Questions for you:

- Why do you feel you have to stick up for your daughter ?

- How is it that you are with a man who "calls you names"?
- Do you think it is normal for couples to "fight" ?
- What do you get from living with an emotionally abusive man?

- Realistically, what are the risks that you would loose your daughter?  

If you care about your relationship with your husband, I suggest you locate a good couple therapist in town, wherever it is that you live, and start working with him on making your marriage work. - ASAP
I would suggest you find a Jungian Therapist - if there is one anywhere near you.

Another way to deal with this of course, is not to deal with it. Which typically does not end well. 

Stay safe & Good Luck.

I hate to talk badly about your husband but he's a dick.  Your a nice person and he is not.  Your happy go lucky and he dwells on the negative and worse looks for a victim to blame it one, lord knows it would be his fault.  His misery is causing you pain and worse putting a distance between you and your daughter.

The way I see it, your daughter was there first, and when he met you he should have accepted your role and appreciated your relationship with your daughter.  He married you thinking he could change it or at least get in the way of it.  He's selfish, he's mean spirited and certainly alone could not be as bad as being housed under the same roof with that monster.

Your daughter needs you in her life, she doesn't however need to feel like being in your life is going to cause her or you complications.  Your obviously a wonderful mom, so do what you think is best with you and her in mind first.  I would have little consideration for your husbands feelings given the consideration he's shown you.

I wish you luck and please know that you have my support to do your self a favor and lose the dead weight.  You are loving with lots to give, don't let him teather your strings any longer.

Thank you for your response...since I wrote this he now has critizied my whole family..telling me that he as my husband should put him before any one else..He scares me and When I say I want out he says that he will make my life hell.. He is in my house and I want to leave but I can't leave my house and be afraid he won't pay the house payments..I was stupid and had put himon my deed when I refinanced thinking maybe he would feel like it was his home to..now that's all I hear that it is his house to..He would be happy if it was me and only me in his life..I can't give up my family for a man. I don't know how to get out with out him causing me pain...
