Hi PammyK,
Welcome to CC, and sorry to hear about your struggles. Aside from praying for you both, I'll suggest two things: read the book Boundaries by Henry Cloud and John Townsend, and find Patrick Doyle's videos on YouTube (through The Dove TV); he speaks a lot about hurting relationships and how to fix them.

I feel bad for you i feel the same way sometimes. I feel like my husband is only with me because he can not take care of himself really he like a big man child. I do not feel any love in this relationship anymore. We are both just kind of together for financial reasons. It really is not nice to live with the person your supposed to love and there is no more love there anymore. I hope that if you find that things can not be fixed you break free of your painful relationship and find a person who will love you and respect you unconditionally. If you can work things out through a pastoral therapy or something that would great.
You're not a dummy. Everyone does things that they regret sometimes. You're just feeling helpless and alone right now. Don't beat yourself up. Just because someone treats you badly doesn't make you any less worthy as a person or less loved by God. God is always watching and He sees how you're being mistreated and the Word says that if you call out to Him he will rescue you. I wish I had more that I could say. I don't know what I'd do in that type of situation. I'm sorry for what you're going through..

So sorry. My ex was like that so I know how hard that is. But the post above is also correct - you are not dumb and you should not beat yourself up. If you start to go down the path of putting yourself down like that, it will only make you feel worse. I wish I could say more to help.
If he would be open to counseling, that could really help, but he has to be willing to put in some work. I'll pray for you and if you ever just need to vent, I totally get that too. Let God strengthen you through it - He can lift you up even when you feel like your husband has pulls you down.
