		<description>(USA)  Hi all, I just found this website. I felt really bad when reading most posts. Some women should divorce. There´s no reason you all should keep using up your lives praying for someone that it is not gonna change. Instead, ask God for strength to go on. 

I do understand that you all want to keep going with your marriage, because that&#039;s why I got here. Looking for advice on how to deal with a difficult husband. Thank God my husband is not that aggressive but he has abused me emotionally. And my kids also. And that hurts me for sure. My kids are my life, and no one messes with them. Still, their own dad doesn&#039;t respect them. He yells and screams really madly whenever I disagree with him. I&#039;ve been married for almost 8 years... he never changed. His ego is at the top of the Everest... I don&#039;t know what to do. Good luck to you all</description>

		<description>(CANADA)  Wow, I can totally relate... mind you I have been separated for 1 1/2 years now and I think he&#039;s going to file for divorce. But my husband had a nasty temper... I would always get the blame for this anger. It was always something I did to set off his anger... he never would get help ... I used to pray that God would do something cause I was going crazy! 

Eventually he left! Wouldn&#039;t you know...lol but the singleness gets really lonely sometimes... I do have kids that keep me busy but divorce can be just as nasty. So, I&#039;m on the other side and I have to say it&#039;s kinda lonely ...being that I&#039;m not divorced yet. I can&#039;t really get involved with another man. It&#039;s really a sad time for us... I keep praying for him and &quot;his girlfriend&quot; that God would prick his heart ...and realize that he needs to get back in the word and pray and seek Gods face and try to work on the marriage. But for now... it&#039;s not happening.</description>

		<description>(KENYA)  I have been married for more than twelve years now. My husband is educated and has a good job. We have nothing to show for it as he and I never discuss our finances and or make any plans together. We just do what he wants. 

This is because he gets angry and/or cross when I make suggestions and or have opinions that are contrary to his own. He hacks my emails, reads them, and gets very angry when I challenge him about this), eavesdrops on my telephone converstations with my friends, family and colleagues. He steals my cellphone and calls my colleagues and male asociates to accuse them of having affairs with me. He even gets cross when his friends call and he is absent and I answer the phone. He accuses me of having an affair with the friend. He accuses me of having an affair with any man that I have come across in my life including his own siblings, friends and our sons. 

I don&#039;t even know how I have put up with this. I pray about it but sometimes I am just too numb to react and/or respond. Suprisingly, I am not allowed to touch his phone, his car, question his relationships and any of his actions. I fear he will read this email and trace it right back to me. From my reading this blog and discussing with other people, I understand my husband could be insecure but I really think he is just a bully and at one time this year, I feared for my life and that of my children.

Now I have decided I am on a different path. I have informed his family that I cannot put up with his behavior anymore. I told them to tell him that he can stay or go but either way, I will no longer put up with his abuse and behaving as if he is my god. I have one God who I will answer to at the end of my life. I am a person, more importantly, I might be nothing to my husband, but I am a princess and my father is the King of the world.

I have told my husband that I cannot continue to be abused, dismissed, and accused of infidelity. I asked him for proof and he had none. I have now decided to stand up for myself. For some strange reason, I still want to be with him. I am praying for God&#039;s grace. Of late, my husband has stopped the verbal abuse, the constant put downs, but I can see it is a huge effort on his part. I pray for progress. I draw strength from the posts sent by other people on this page.</description>

		<description>(CANADA)  My husband has developed a much worse temper it seems in the last several years. I am diagnosed bipolar after a very bad spell a few years ago where my temper got worse. But now it&#039;s quite fine on meds. I don&#039;t do as much around the house so that he has to but I am also working and going to school so we can have more money, and we have 3 kids.  

He yells at them LOUD a lot, they will cry. It breaks my heart for my daughter, my oldest he has wrestled with and near hit for disrespect. I want to back up his authority and am trying so hard but it is just hard when he sabotages himself like that. I never say he is bad to the kids though, in fact I say he means well, to raise them right, he just doesn&#039;t know the best way and that he loves them.  

He has also raised a fist at me but not hit, and berates me sometimes when he is bad like I&#039;m a loser with no friends and should keep my yap shut.  Nice.  I definitely feel like leaving but have no where to go. And I think he would seriously kill me, like he needs to repent; he&#039;s so scary.</description>

		<description>(INDIA)  I am changing my name.  My husband has a very foul temper. I have put up with it 3 years before marriage, and married him in the hope that he will change. It&#039;s 8 years now past marriage, but it has only worsened. I have been abused physically, mentally and emotionally. I have reached a stage where I don&#039;t want to make up anymore. I don&#039;t want to make up in the fear that I am going to be hurt again. 

He doesn&#039;t abuse my physically anymore, but verbally and emotionally and mentally he tears me apart. All the time I am praying to God to make me die. I do not have children. He blames me for each and everything that goes bad.  He blames me if he is stuck in a traffic jam; he blames me if there&#039;s a problem at the office or at home. If it rains, it doesnt rain - anything and everything, I get the blame.

I feel I will be better off out of the marriage or better still dead. However much I want I cant bring myself to be normal. I am a very emotional person and sentimental. He abuses and hurts me beyond repair.</description>

		<description>(USA)  Julia, I was encouraged to read your info. I am married to a man who has a bad temper. He says he is a Christian but does not display the fruits. He is physically handicapped and battles with a sense of inferiority. He does work and is a great provider. He recently bought a car that was out of our budget and we are living beyond our means. We rarely have intimate relations due to the injuries he received in several auto accidents. We will celebrate our 7th anniv. in Jan. I feel like we are just roommates. 

He doesn&#039;t like to discuss any of our problems. The blame is usually transferred to me. Normally, I don&#039;t speak up. I believe in being submissive and a soft answer turns away wrath. But it seems like things keep getting worse. I am really struggling and am praying for strength and God&#039;s direction. Any encouragement would be appreciated. God Bless You.</description>

		<description>(ZIMBABWE) Just keep praying dear. One day he will change. There is nothing impossible with God. One thing you should realise is that you will never change your husband&#039;s behavior, only God can. Just put your trust in the Lord and respect him as your husband, irregardless of his behavior. You will be amazed with the hand of the Lord.</description>

		<description>(SOUTH AFRICA) Hi All, I am sorry for whats happening to all of you, but at least you guys have been married for quite some time. I&#039;ve only been married for 4 months &amp; I have to put up with my husband&#039;s temper. He does not want to be asked if he did anything wrong or even take responsibility for his actions. 

We only see each other during weekends because of working environment, but he goes out with his boys and come back after 12 &amp; leaves me alone every weekend. If I ever ask anything he won&#039;t speak to me for days. He swears at me and he abuses me financially. He stopped showing love to me when he married me.</description>

		<description>(ZIMBABWE)  Ladies who have to deal with angry and abusive husbands need to do the following to avoid further clashes:
1. Whenever he is angry and abusing, remain calm, because answering back is like trying to put off a fire by pouring gasoline onto it.
2. Give him time to calm down.
3. Once he is calm, speak to him confidentially and coolly, especially during bed time in that &quot;special room&quot;.
4. Ask gently probing questions that lead you to understand his problem(s).
5. During the conversation avoid being emotional. Show him you care, but concerned about his behaviour.
6. Pray with him and give the opportunity to lead your prayers.</description>

		<description>(USA)  Well, my heart goes out to each and every one of you ladies. It comforts me to know that I am not the only woman in the world that is dealing with an angry husband. I can relate to the woman that said he gets mad when someone disagrees with him. My husband goes nuts when someone doesn&#039;t have the same opinion as him and he is so easily offended. 

He&#039;s a wonderful and loving husband until he gets angry, and then he&#039;s a self centered, over-bearing, cussing, and yelling, fit throwing monster. I am trying to find some good Christian counseling for him right now and he has agreed to take it so I am just praying and trusting God to send the right person to us that can help my husband. Good luck to you all. I know it&#039;s not easy.</description>

		<description>(CANADA)  My husband of four years has a temper like no other. I have always thought I could deal with it. I figured my calmness and gentle nature would  off set his temper when raising our daughter. I am realizing that this is not so. Our daughter is 4 and throws massive tantrums, kicks at me, swings at me, screams, and sasses. I  am so disappointed in myself for not knowing that this was going to happen. 

My husband works very long hours, so they don&#039;t get to see each other often and when they do, he is complaining and angry at one or both of us. Is staying together really what&#039;s best for our child, or would we be better off to be alone so I can try to repair some of this damage he has caused? I am so frustrated!!!</description>

		<description>(USA)  Hi Julia from South Africa, I am a Christian, married to a West African Christian man. He has a hot temper whenever I try to question something that concerns me about our marriage or something that has the potential to hurt us as a family. We have three kids under the age of 6. Any advice? 

It is so hard dealing with this but divorce is not an option for me ... It is very tempting, but I stand by my vows for better, for worse, good or bad. He tends to use verbal abuse as well, curses me out, and acts like I am not in the house. Help!</description>

		<description>(SOUTH AFRICA)  I have been married for 31 years to a backslidden Christian man, who has a ferocious temper. It has been very hard on myself and our children (son 21 and daughter 17) but I thank God that He has kept me sane. As time goes on, I can see a change in my husband. I am learning to speak up if I find his language is too much and keep praying that he will be drawn back to his first love for the Lord. I realise that I can only change myself, not him. He must be left for God to sort out!

If I can be of any encouragement to anyone out there, I would love to offer my support.</description>

		<description>(USA)  This is excellent.  My husband has a temper and I did not know how to deal with it.  He specifically goes off when he is disagreed with, even if he asks you for your opinion.  I felt powerless, but now I see that it is okay to politely dismiss myself from the negative treatment.</description>
