Amy,
> please don't worry, he is rarely physically abusive. he prefers to hurt me with words. i'm going to stay disengaged until i can get out of here. trust me, i'm not in any danger."Rarely" is unacceptable. There's the possibility he could do it again. Not to mention the toll the emotional abuse is taking. Just because things have calmed down at this moment doesn't mean you should stay there.
> i always used to wonder why women stayed in these type of situations..now i know why..they either have no resources, or they're totally broken. i am the former, luckily. thanks so much for caring! :):) i'm glad to know y'all. :)
You are lacking in fiscal resources, etc. That's not a good situation. But you are also getting your emotional resources constantly attacked, not to mention the physical danger. Better to be without resources in a safe place than without resources with an abusive man. I do wish you'd consider leaving now.
