I know what I am getting out of the marriage, I just need to figure out how not to need that....that is the problem.
((((MXH) You have posted how much he does not help around the house and complains while doing any work. Do you need that?
You have posted that he becomes angry, yells, is verbally abusive. Do you need that?
As gerryP pointed out, he has threatened to punch you in the face. Do you need that?
Whether you want to admit it to yourself or not, you AND YOUR CHILDREN are in harms way. Do you need that?
You ask whether there are men out there who are loving, kind, helpful, thoughtful.....yes there are! I am blessed to be married to one who not only does dishes, laundry, cooks and cleans (we take turns) but believes in me and my dreams.
You deserve that!!!! Your children deserve that!!!!! We're pullin' for you!!!!
Hugs and prayers, HG
