Should I leave my husband?
I am trying to figure out if I should leave my husband or not. I am 31 yrs old. I can't even believe I am considering this. It's unbelievable. We have been together for 12 years and married for 4. we have no kids - but 2 dogs. I think he has bipolar depression. I have been trying to stay to help him - he won't go to the doctor. He explodes over the smallest things, starts flying off the handle and cussing me - telling me he wants a divorce, to leave, etc. the bad thing is that my famlily is on the east coast and I am on the west coast. I feel so far away and lonely here. Other times he is fine but I am sick of being talked down to or being cussed out and ignored and then never getting an apology. He was never like this until a while after we got married. If I would have known it would have been like this I would have never married him. My 26 yr old brother died last year in a car wreck and he wasn't even that nice to me for very long after that. It's like it's all about him all the time. I hear more complaints then nice things. When you go home it should be a safe haven not a place where you have to defend yourself. I feel like I have no one to tell. I don't want to tell my mom. He never wants me to go anywhere with friends - even just to the movies or to eat. It's not like I go out partying with girlfriends. We never do anything with couples - he hates being social. Any advice anyone please?
