Get out

By WhatDoIDo - 05/10/2025 12:00

Today, I could easily be any man's dream wife. I'm pretty, smart, devoted, earn well, cook great, keep a clean house, and raise amazing children… but I chose to marry an asshole who keeps hitting me for little to no reason. I'm too scared to raise my kids on my own in this world, or else I would leave. FML

you MUST get out of this situation ASAP. The end of violence in this situation is the end of life.

Ask yourself this question: what am I teaching my children by allowing myself to be abused? You’re teaching your daughters that it’s okay to be hit and you’re teaching your sons that hitting women is perfect normal.

Explain exactly how you are a 'great mum' when all you are teaching your kids is that it's perfectly fine to be abused? Are you still going to be a 'great mum' when he starts hitting your kids because they're old enough to start talking back? You realise that they're seeing it all, right? That all you are doing is setting them up to be abused in their future relationships? You need to call a domestic violence support group asap and get all of you the hell out and into therapy. Until you do that, you are, in fact, a shitty mother and your kids are going to realise it one day...

I get your point, but she never actually says she's a 'great mum'. She said she's raising amazing children, she's smart, pretty, devoted, keeps the house clean, cooks well, and earns a good wage. But, yes, your point is well taken and she needs to get herself and the kids the frick out of there, pronto. Then she'll be a great mum.

while I feel for you, you say you earn$$$ . I've been there and literally the only thing holding me back from leaving was that I couldn't afford it. it seems like you are just more afraid of being alone. I say grow a pair and get out. especially for your kids.

Makes no sense. Scared to raise kids on your own, but a violent man in the house is safe? WTF? Get Out Now.

There are resources for victims of domestic violence in your area. If you don't know where they are or how to contact them, you can simply call 911. They will direct you to the right place.

He gaslit you. You think you can't survive without him. On the contrary, he can't survive without you. Get out now with the kids. Make a plan to leave safely without him knowing.

Police and lawyer NOW. It is NOT okay for your husband, or anyone, to hit you for any reason. And it'll only get worse. It could very well kill you someday, to be honest. And it's very possible he'll start hitting your children as well. It's not safe for you or them to stay with such an asshole. Call the police and get a divorce lawyer. His ass needs to be in prison.
