I I do not feel like I am in love with him now, I love him, but not romantically, that ended long ago when he started to diminish my love for myself with constant correction and suggestions of changes I needed to make. I do work, and my car is paid off, I have 1 more year to pay on my home, I can do this. I am feeling strong this morning, I am giving the glory to God for this step to have been taken. I hate that Phil feels like I am being mean and insensitive, but I need to heal. I am fascinated that he doesn't want to let me go and just move on, I do not seem to be able to do anything right, but I am making a promise to myself and to God that I will seek to please God first.
Those remarks you made which I highlighted in bold are enough reasons to leave. As I told you in my first post and as others have also responded, this man is a control freak, it will get worse and not only that you are already suffering abuse. Abuse is not about violence, that will come later I fear. Most people would have left him and cut him off completely, but being under his control and power is reason you have not yet done that.

I also think he is hanging on because you have a house that you will own outright and have built up wealth and he is eyeing that up.

Here is a hard question for many. Why scream and holler and moan and groan for a choice you made later after the blinders of lust wear off? When we allow God to select our mates and wait on him this is never the case in my experience. But when we help God and choose our mates due to the lust of the eye the pride of life and all the deception of make up then we get what we get. hard but fair. We run to God to fix the mess we made and get mad that he will not respond as we desire.

But still it was our choice right? I'm often quite when counseling couples as they already know the truth. I don't have to tell a drug addict he has a problem no matter how much he minimizes it or tell a cheater he's a cheater no matter if he says he's not deep inside many know the answer. Let me pose this question. If I marry a leper who is contagious will I become infected with leprosy? think about it?

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give an update. I no longer have a roommate, except for my furry-babies. I have gone to Church the last few Sundays and am feeling very good about life again! I quite literally feel the depression easing. I look forward to getting up and tackling my days again. I am singing in Church again, I had missed that so, and the fellowship. He is still texting me daily and calling every few days, but I am not looking back, and it feels wonderful. I feel like I can once again enjoy being me and finally mend my relationship with God. I am gaining my confidence back, and I appreciate you all so much for the words of support.
