Abusive Relationships - physical and mental abuse


Expert: Dr.Sunu Sundar - 10/30/2008

Question
This is in response to the additional information u wanted

1) I filed for divorce in August 2008, around 2-3 weeks after leaving my husband.
2) My husband sometimes overeats, and at other times eats very little (when he is dieting). He eats a lot when he is drunk.
3) He has been out of work since april 2008.
4) He sleeps around 10-10:30. Sometimes gets up early in the morning (at round 3:00 a.m), and after sometime sleeps again. Anyway, he is awake by around 7:00.

I have been married for a year now to a man I have known and been in love with for almost 6 years. We are both 25 years of age. He was very sweet for about one year after we fell in love after which he started controlling me in small ways such as asking me to not go out with my friends and that I should return at a particular time, or phone him at a particular time. (we were both in different colleges in different states, and we mostly contacted each other via mail and phone calls). I did not attach a lot of importance to these matters, thinking he was just being over protective and possessive. However, as time went on, the degree of his control increased and I realized that he even doubted me though I was faithful to him in every way

Answer
Dear Indu,

You say,

"..However, as time went on, the degree of his control increased and I realized that he even doubted me though I was faithful to him in every way.."

Psychology sees the  doubts  and  tortures of a man towards  his  wife in different angles. In married life one of the  prominent angles is that  due to  husband's  inadequacy to satisfy his wife sexually  he  turns  violent,  doubting and accusative.

2-Another  angle is a surge of a negative  feeling in a man that he  chose  a  wrong  partner.

3-Due to  husband's relation with another woman and  guilt  incurred  due to the  same

5-When the  husband  discovers the  'weaknesses' of  his  wife  and finds that he is  unable to  cope up  with his wife's  weaknesses.

6-He  finds that his resource of love  towards his  wife  is  dry and  unable to  generate  love towards  wife.

7-Eventually husband discovers about  himself that  it was not of  genuine love  but  because of an attraction  with infatuation he  was  'trapped' to  enter  a  married  relationship with  his  wife.

I belive  you will know  which category in the   above  said  he belongs  to.

Can you  consider a divorce?
If not why?

OR

Are  you willing to  live  with him enduring tortures?
What guarante is there  that he  will change  and  become  a  good  hubby?
Are  emotions  clouding in you  and  hindering you  to think logically?

Further guidance  after hearing from you.

You  may reach me also through  placladoc@yahoo.co.in

Best wishes,
Dr.Sunu Sundar
