i'll try to get inside his head. I'm guessing the way he acts is becuz of frustrations of things going on in his life. personal stuff, maybe work, etc. and pretty much is taking it out on you. it happens alot. just these sh*tty circumstances many of us live in. I suggest u continue the therapy you're in and take up a personal therapist for yourself. count the cost as well. you'll need to build yourself up from all the abuse. u gotta break outta the shell so to speak. ezr sed than done. your husband needs to realize the importance of trying to give back to you a measure of respect. different methods for everyone but either u mention it to him or try couples counseling if he's open to it. or once you've built yourself up somewhat, try talking to him when he's not preoccupied and open to speaking. you'll be the best judge of that. take care and hang in there.
