Perhaps you need to start drawing some boundaries. letting him know "if you continue to keep treating me as less than human, I will have to move out until you decide you want to repair this marriage together with me. I will no longer tolerate your belittling me. I am sorry I have hurt you, and I would like to earn back your trust and love together with you, but I will not be abused."
I love this! You said it perfectly. Yesterday was good for the most part, but he did say a few little things and I stopped him and calmly told him I'm not going to allow him to talk to me that way. Apparently it sounded condescending to him and he said "or what, you gonna leave?" I asked him to look at the end of all of this and whether he wanted a wife with no self-respect. He didnt say much after that...good or bad.
I think I want to memorize what you said haha. I'm not quick-witted and always end up thinking of things to say later. Thank you for your encouragement.
