There is a fine line between constant criticism and verbal abuse. I don't recall if you mentioned if either of your children are female or male. For girls, you don't want them to grow up in a house where the man does nothing, criticizes the woman and expects her to do everything. For boys, you don't want them growing up with a role model like this and having them turn around and do it to their wives one day. I think it's great that you are about to start MT training and wish you all the best.
If you want to make things work with your husband, it seems like you may benefit from an objective third party. Your pastor's sermon indicates that he/she may have had some experience counseling couples. This may be a good source to have someone to go to couples therapy with, especially if cost would be an issue which it sounds like with your husband. I would also sit and discuss your finances with your husband at some point. Not having access to household funds except through him is not responsible. If he were to have an accident and get laid up for awhile, how would you pay the bills? Just some things to think about. |
