The Monster In My Bed

[TwisttheLeaf]

Hey man. At this point? I really need to say this.

Get the fuck out. Get out before he kills you.

I hate to say it, but I would -not- be surprised if he hasn't tried to think up ways to make it look like an accident.

It's time to leave. NOW, not later.

What an @ss... NO REASON WHAT SO EVER to do that to someone in need.

Don't give up hope bro, you sound like a good guy and don't deserve this treatment.

Beaux, I really feel for you. It seems like things escalate to new worse each time. File for a divorce and rid yourself of him.

Best wishes

[MENTION=13210]Beaux[/MENTION] I am so sorry to hear about what you are going through. You should get a divorce and leave him as soon as possible. Hope everything would be just fine. We are here for you.

OMG (((Beaux)))...you really need to get the fuck away from that man...now!

Something is seriously wrong with him...and whatever that is....looks like it is getting worse....

I am so sorry that you have to deal with that...and it IS a new low...I would hate to think how much lower he can actually go...

Oh East...I feel so trapped. All the collected problems at work have left me lower than broke. If there were a way for me to leave tonight, I would. I am just praying that when the income tax returns come in I will have the money to file for divorce. I don't see any way of leaving otherwise. I am an emotional wreck.

Yes, I concur with everything everyone here has said. He IS dangerous. I wish there were some way I could contact the family of the guy (Robbie) he was with who "committed sucide". Something tells me that there is a LOT more to that story than I know. Of course my husband won't give me any information about Robbie or his family. I don't even know his last name. All I do know is that his family lives in New Jersey and that my husband ended all contact with them after he died.

I do know that Robbie had a lot of drugs in his system when he died, and that those drugs were prescribed to my husband. He told the medical examiner that Robbie must have stolen the drugs from him. It just doesn't seem believable to me....

If anything DOES happen to me, I hope that the authorities have sense enough to check out my computer and that they check my posts here on GaySpeak.

I have reviewed my posts here, and they are a sad documentary on my life since I married this man.

I have GOT to get away from him! He is emotionally abusive, financially abusive, and on more than one occasion he has been physically abusive. Being laid up like this has left me fearing for my safety. In no way do I trust him any longer.

Beaux, take Camfer's advice and contact Charleston County Human Services Commission 1-844-769-6448. ASAP. Do not wait. You need to get him isolated if possible and yourself into a shelter situation for your own safety and sanity. You can also contact the police and make them aware of the situation. Have you called his doctor?

The only way from down and broke is up and working. Take care of yourself now.

While I appreciate you desire to help, I am afraid you are mistaken about the Salvation Army. I worked for the Salvation Army until last year when they found out I am gay and fired me. Their shelters have been shut down for over 4 years (the address you mention is now a Salvation Army Thrift Store--the exact one I worked at before they fired me).

My friend, Denise, who I mentioned still works there at the very same location. She would let me stay with her if Che could, but she and her husband (as well as her daughter and grand children) live in a one bedroom apartment, and there simply isn't enough room for me.

I have already been in contact with Charleston Domestic Violence Services. They provide shelter to women with children, which I am not. All they have told me, is to see a divorce lawyer, which I have done. The lawyer told me to come back when I have the $600 retainer he requires. He also told me that if I leave my husband before I serve him with divorce papers, that it would be considered abandonment.

Please believe me, I have checked into my options. Without money, a man without dependent children doesn't have anywhere to go here.

Beaux, divorce him please.

It's better to live alone then to spend the rest of your life with that person.

You deserve a better life.

I wish I can help you more. Best wishes, Beaux.
