    This guy is totally wrong. Never give an abuser an ultimatum, don’t tell your plans in advance, call him from her moms house to tell him the timeline in which he has to be out, never be alone with him, ever again. Go with a male relative or friend to the house only when you think he’s gone and CHANGE THE LOCKS that day. Don’t give this man the benefit of the doubt, consider an order of protection, a temporary restraining order. Safety is first, second, and third. Your financial problems are easily solved compared to getting away from a man that might seriously harm or murder you.

      The problem is one word. Married. The husband has a vested interest in the house and she will not be able to legally kick him out of it. If he wants to be difficult, her hands will be tied. She will likely need to sell the house to get him out or let it go into foreclosure. If she tries to file for divorce, he likely won’t sign the papers so it will take years to finalize. And yes, Ken’s advice is horrible. There is no saving this relationship. He has shown this woman who he is. She needs to believe it and not give him a road where he can play along to get her back under the roof he lives in and able to put the fear of god into her. Worst advice you could possibly give to someone in this situation.

    The most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when you are trying to leave. Do not be alone anywhere with this man. Consider a protective restraining order. I would call the police about his threats of physical violence. Buy an hour of an attorney's time about the legal matters. NO marriage counseling because it empowers the abuser; diminishes the power of the abused. He showed you who he is: Believe him. And remember you are not alone. Many of us have walked this path and survived. Stay strong.

No, a person normally does not "deserve" to be threatened with harm, unless it's a case of self-defense. Get some help, you really (at least by all appearances) seem to need it badly! You also seem to have a lot of hate in your heart, and that is honestly a sad state for you to be in if true, but I doubt there is enough common sense to realize you need help though.

    I understand that from a Christian perspective no one wants to see a marriage end in divorce and we really hope for restoration, but the reality is when you are dealing with a narcissist and/or abuser, they pretty much never change. The statistics are like less than 1% of abusers actually change, so it is very dangerous to put all the burden on the victim in these cases as if they are the ones not holding on tight enough, praying hard enough, being willing to "forgive" enough, which is actually just allowing someone to kill your spirit over and over, which God is NOT OK with.

    Don't tell him you are leaving, that is when you are most at risk with an abuser (including the 6-24 months afterwards). You do need to file charges, restraining order, non-molestation order, etc. Contact a specialist DV centre and they will walk you through the process and get you away safely. Also ask for a risk assessment to be done if they do them.
    For those that are wondering "why she picked him", it is typical of abusers to hide their true selves until a commitment point, which in this case was marriage. Sometimes it is pregnancy/childbirth, other times it could be engagement or living together - it is any point whereby the abuser thinks you are his now, and will not leave him.
    It is up to you if you sell the house. It depends how he is after being removed. If he is still causing trouble, sell up and move where he does not know you are (and also be vigilant at work, they show up at work places for post-separation stalking. Stay safe, best of luck.

    I was a matchmaker and have encountered as clients but also while dating fife men who all were "widowers". Their wives fell off a cliff while hiking, a fiancé "suddenly" disappeared on X-mass eve leaving her fife year old behind, "walked away" without taking her purse or phone, "drowned" in the Caribbean and "suddenly" died in Mexico while on a "reconciliation vacation".
    Only one of these men went to jail for 20 years.

    This is how friends and family members get killed. You are going to drag your drama to your Mothers home. You’ll get family all riled up and then turn around and go back. If you are serious…call the police. Ask him to leave. Get a restraining order. And if all else fails find a safe place where he can’t find you as a cooling off period. I’m not suggesting you stay, but I’m just saying this can escalate quickly.

    She really needs to speak to a lawyer because they've given her a lot of bad advice. She can't just throw him out. It's his home. It doesn't matter whose name is on the title or who owned it before the marriage. If he doesn't want to move out, only a judge can make him. A judge probably would give her possession of the home during the divorce, since it was hers before the marriage and it's been a short marriage, but she still needs to go before a judge.
    The fact that they no longer use a joint bank account is also irrelevant. They are married. Their finances are intermingled legally whether they operate them that way in practice or not. If he's racking up debt right now, that's her debt.

    If she moves out he can just stay there it will probably take many months to get him out and she will be still paying for it 😮

      Not necessarily, if she were to get the authorities involved and tell them about the threats, I believe he could bevremived from the home. She just needs to play smart and not give him the opportunity to follow through with his threats.

    He drained her account, didn't want to do FPU....just leave. Counseling is a stall

    Nope, get the police or some big men to be at the house with you when you tell him to leave. Never leave this guy in the house without supervision. Otherwise he can freak out and possibly destroy things. Then try and get a restraining order on him which might be hard since it is just threats so far, but probably you should try.

    Ladies, DO NOT play hard ball with someone who has made physical threats against you. Do not go to counseling with someone who has made physical threats against you. Get somewhere safe, get a restraining order, and never, ever, ever be alone in the same location with him again. You only tell him he needs to move out over text, and you don’t talk about it. If he refuses, then call the cops.

    First, protect yourself by any means necessary at all times. Then figure out what you need to do to get out of this. The signs were there before the marriage. They always are whether you see them or not. If you didn't see them someone close to you did...probably your mom. Let that be your lesson to never go back
