i'm really sorry for you. i hope you know there are many women who share your problem and feel alone but we all care for each other , as females.
when he is coming angry , don't show him that you are afraid , just look him in the eyes then go to other room ... if he follow you just closed the door and ignore him if he yells ... he can cool off his anger by himself. then , after he is calm talk to him about it very slow. sit closed to him and touch his hand or hug him when you talk about it ... don't make it serious or awkward ... i hope maybe this will help both you and him.

There isn't an excuse " because his Dad hit his Mum".. abuse is not on.

Listen to your heart, you say love but you also say "financially secure".

Listen to your heart, you say your always crying and you make excuses.

It's your choice, it's always your choice. You either get yourself that Degree and toughen up so you can support yourself, so you can meet other people and have your own identity, so that you can make a management decision when that all happens and be secure yourself or you sit and wallow because you made the other choice, to just sit and do nothing.

It's entirely and only up to you.

i read this link, and look at the two contrasting opinions. im hazarding a guess the person writing asking for support is not of "our" culture, the western culture, and really ok, this isnt the issue, she is asking for support and for someone to hear how she feels, how complicated this is. i mean, look at the following advice, to get out, to make steps to become a stronger person....yaddah yaddah. has anyone who has been in this situation ever truly escaped. i tell you. NO. you can walk, but you cant rub out this misery, the trap that it is. when you marry, you want it to work, and then when anger and abuse happens, what do you do.... walk out, no, course you dont, you try, and its only when you cant cope with the abuse any longer do you turn to another, to ask for their support. its not just a case of come on, we will stop it for you, or take this advice. there is NO advice. its when you are in it and when you are not. things are not as simple as walk away. and its all well and good saying believe, or tell yourself this, or that. anyone who has experienced abuse in any form, knows how it is a shock to the system, to the core of your self. its not just about walking away. and yes, we might love that person doing the abuse, we may even add to the abuse, and thats about relating, and relationships ... and i will probably get shot down in flames and this post wont even make it, cos it will be deemed to be shocking or unhelpful. but its certainly realistic thats for sure. i prefer the stance that the person posting got some level of support by response. two contrasting views, thats for sure. but i bet the person who put the post is still in the situation, cos its never that easy to just WALK

feistymiss.

hallo all i need advice about my relationship with me husband

This is the opening line of the OP... "The" posters gave their / my advice, thoughts, opinions.

Whilst I understand your logic in "needing support", and "culture", when an OP asks for "advice", then the posters will respond to that and have.

All posters "also" want support as well. I understand as well, that it is in deed difficult to walk, to leave but do you not think that a different culture suffers the same? That they too can not get their head around the word abuse, that they too can not leave until they are ready?

The only reason sometimes someone can not leave where Culture is concerned is that in their culture to do so means death.

the problem that i can not leave him now because i don't wont to be alone my family is not in england and i am alone hire

The OP has not stated that at all, she has stated it's because she doesn't want to be alone, in England and probably can not get back to her family. There is no danger, rather, she is in an abusive relationship that she can not see as being abusive because she understands that, that is how he is, how his Father was, maybe even how that "culture is" but the bottom line is she asked for advice and she stated that she didn't want to leave because she didn't want to be alone.

Your remarks in realty are valid. Your remarks on the posters responses are bordering attacking and putting them down.

So I remind you to by all means have your opinion as to how you read the thread but be very careful in how you word remarks made by other posters.

This forum does not judge. It's here for everyone, to have their own take, views on how they read a post.

To the OP.

What I wrote may have sounded harsh but it's reality.

Why? Because I came from an abusive relationship myself, because I said " I loved him" and because I couldn't concentrate on my business and because I didn't think I had an option to leave and because I believe in marriage.

So my advise to you is what I wrote, why? Because I chose to take those steps and better my thought pattern, realise what was going on, get my shirt together and work harder and leave.

Where am I now?

In the most amazing loved relationship with no boundries, no pain, and full support of my journey whilst I rebuild what otherwise I would have totally lost, in the knowing that even if I lost, he would be there for me, loving me, and supporting me regardless with no abuse, no crying, no pain.

Can't you stay at a university residence? Since money is not an issue, you can try to save some and either live with a student roommate or have your own room in a hall of residence. You won't be able to focus on your degree if he's abusive towards you, you cannot achieve anything in fear.

Married or not, with a different or similar cultural background, nobody can have a life with an abusive partner and to advise someone to stay in such a relationship is equally abusive as the person who commits the abuse.

Kind or loving men don't hit people, especially people they love.
