feel like giving up - talk to me!

[luvless]

Is he entitled to be emotionally abusive beacuse he doesn't know how to please her?

Is it possible she's pushing him away because he's emotionally & verbally abusive?

Which is an appropriate action to the circumstances?

It IS appropriate to set a boundary when someone is emotionally & verbally abusive. It is NOT appropriate to be emotionally & verbally abusive because you "feel" that you can't please your spouse.

Thank you for that Bridge - It's my H way of getting me back - hurting me and yes, I believe when he acts like this (mean and distant) it's on purpose.
