Fellforasociopath
So here is my story...I just turned 40 and I've been married for almost 8 years, together for 10. Unfortunately I fell for a man who is a liar, a cheat, and a sociopath. He hid it well for a couple of years but now his behavior and actions are unbearable. Thought the repeated infidelity was bad but the crazy outbursts of anger frighten me to my core. He's not physically abusive but his emotional abuse is worse. If I ever show any emotion that is "negative" or point out that we could be happier he blows up and immediately starts the blame game, all of which is mine. I'm very thankful we don't have kids as children do not deserve to be in this environment. With most sociopaths, the lack of empathy and compassion is almost non-existent. He has made himself the breadwinner as controls th e majority of our assets which makes me ending our marriage more difficult. I have my own bank account (I was not giving that up) and I'm self employed and wouldn't have a super difficult time making it on my own. Has anyone had any experience being married to someone who's so unbalanced and if so any advice would be most appreciated as like most people in this situation, I feel terribly alone and scared.
