JackJack Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 any ideas of how to get even when your husband calls you names and emotionally upsets you? Its not about getting even, because then you are just stooping to his level and its nothing more than a game and a vicious cycle. Probably the best thing to do is communicate to him how it makes you feel. My guess is he may have some anger/control issues. I would suggest marriage counseling for you both. If he wont go, you still need to go and see if you can get some good advice from a professional.
Touche Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 How would I "get even?" I'd leave his sorry ass. Marriages with name-calling and emotional abuse almost always get worse. I agree with JackJack. If you both don't go to marriage counseling, this marriage is doomed.
whichwayisup Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 any ideas of how to get even when your husband calls you names and emotionally upsets you? Yes, leave. Don't speak to him until he's ready to respect you. My husband and I rarely fight, but the few times we have, or even during a stupid little arguement, NOT ONCE have either of us name-called. No swearing or anything. There's just a line that we don't cross. I hope you are okay.
someone2 Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 ^ I second that. Just give him an empty emotionless look and let him finish all the name calling. When he is done, keep looking at him for 3 seconds or so and then turn away and leave the room. Don't show that this is affecting you at all. Works every time
