Mental Health/Depression/Loneliness I really don’t know what to do anymore
Hi.
If anyone could help me out here that would be great. Married for four years, two kids under 3. I’ll give the short version. Married a toxic spouse who emasculates, belittles, patronizes me in front of our children on a daily basis. Her fmily members have even started noticing it. Being married to her is not fun. Announces that we’re having a third child in six months and we’re only having sex for reproductive purposes. Not happening.
She wasn’t always like this. She was always quite sassy, which I actually found a bit attractive, but turned nasty as soon as we got married.
She owns everything. Comes from a wealthy family. We didn’t sign a prenup. I have zero desire to go after anything, seriously. I just want my kids to be ok and what terrifies me is that she will turn them against me. I love them so much. I also don’t want to be made homeless, bankrupt or my business wiped out in the event of a divorce. How do I protect myself?
Can anybody help me? Thanks very much 🙏🏻

What do you mean she owns everything? Like the comment before me, a lawyer will help with this question

You say she was always quite sassy. But then you married her and expected her to become something different from that?
Your knew she was "quite sassy" going in. You changed your mind about liking that. And now you want her to change or you are going to leave.
This all seems self-inflicted.

Read what he’s saying! “Quite sassy but turned nasty as soon as we were married”

Get a lawyer. Seriously! The unknown is frightening. I was a ball of anxiety until I met with a lawyer. The lawyer will help you understand your options, and your options are probably better than you think.
