I’ve been married for about 1 year and have been highly depressing since marriage (I moved states for him, left my job, he lied about his finances, husband prioritize his parents over me on our wedding day, etc.). I’ve since sucked it up and accepted a lot of things. However, the depression and frustration hits sometimes and I cry uncontrollably or blame him for doing those things. He always just yells at me and is mean to me if I get sad. Is this normal? Feeling hopeless…

I think, unless you’re in physical danger, it would be a good move to see a therapist to work through your feelings and, if nothing else, gain the confidence to leave if that is where you’re leaning. Forget about him for a while and work on trying to do what you can to feel less depressed, then make a plan.

No! It’s not normal, do not doubt yourself or your thoughts and feelings. You’re kinda describing my first marriage. You make compromises for someone who doesn’t even think of putting you first in their list of priorities. My ex was still partying hard long after college and of course drinking and not coming home for nights on end. Somehow I was left feeling that I was too needy and didn’t know what I did.
After awhile, I got my ass into therapy and it helped me so much. I also was dealing with infertility problems, for which my ex was all but absent. He watched a game of some sort, probably football while I miscarried in the bedroom and almost bled out. My sister took me to the hospital.

Get your ducks in a row. Talk to an objective party and get a separate bank account. We didn’t and I was left with almost all the bills bc things were under my name. Dm me if you want too. I get it!

Leave him now. You need to be happy

What does it mean “lied about his finances?”

Said he had money but in reality he’s broke?

Popular answer, ☕️ logic.

His life, His Choice.
Why do you want to control him and his actions.

Let him live his life.

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
