living with a bully

Hi Ruby,
Thanks for your message. Helps me feel not so alone here. I'm in Scotland too, and I know our laws differ from English law, which is what I'm checking up on thru the web. I'm just at the end of my tether with 'he who must be obeyed' and feel we have come to the end of the line. I dont feel angry anymore, in fact, I dont really seem to be feeling anything. Apart from the quivvering inside my gut! I'm taking my time here to make sure this is the right way forward for me. I feel that without him, I'd at least have a chance of a life for myself. I know it will be hard, but I cant say I'd be any more lonely than I am now. We own a nice house in the country, so I know even with a 50-50 split I could start over again. I also know that if I ask for any financial support from him - the soft, smelly stuff will hit the proverbial fan! Parting with any HIS money is not in his nature! You know, even if I am short of cash and lift a tenner from his bank - I gotta call him and let him know so that he can update his accounts? Just totally fed up living this way. There is no 'us, we or ours' just his, his and his. Me, myself and I come to mind! Sorry for ranting, but your the closest thing I've got to a friend lol.
Thanks.

IHi Linda,
I've been on IB for the last 6 years due to arthritis and depression. Much as I would love to be in the position of fending for myself, it doesnt seem an option for me. I wish it was, but then again, he never liked me working either!

Blu.
