Am I (34M) in a toxic relationship with (33F)? (by Sparky)
Am I (34M) in a toxic relationship with (33F)?
TLDR - I think I am in a toxic relationship but I can’t leave because she’s isolated me.
So I’m in a relationship where it’s 90% me getting yelled at and that has degenerated into me sleeping on the couch. I can’t make her happy, but I can’t really leave because I gave up my social network to move out east and really have no one here, and also we have an 11 month old. It’s gone downhill since his birth, she just wants to play games all day, says she doesn’t want to be a stay at home mom but also doesn’t want to work. I don’t know what to do at this point because I have no support system and every time I went out in law school she created a crisis so I’d have to leave the friendships I was building there, even before she was pregnant. Now it’s too late to make friends, and she’s all I have, but she’s literally killing me as she won’t let me even go work out now, and she’s yelling at me in front of our child. She yells at me about the house being a mess but does nothing to help herself except when her mom comes over. I am out of ideas, I feel like every boundary I have is breached and my very identity is gone and I’m already just dead inside.
