I've had household items thrown at me just missing my head. The Police came but did not record the incident (only in their daily log). On a daily basis I feel helpless against the verbal putdowns. It seems I just can't do anything right in this household. I refuse to yell or retaliate. I just “take it” and don't fight back. I do my utmost to keep control of my emotions. I never let her get the better of my emotions. Every guy should learn never to let a woman get the better of your emotions. Because if they do, you retaliate with verbal or physical violence. Us men are better than that. No matter how much she pushes your buttons to get a response, do not hit or yell back. EVER. I don't know what to do, or where to go.
