Iranian Abuser

Any man who disrespects you verbally is on the war path to detroying your self esteem. This is normally how physical abuse begins. Red lights here!

What kind of man disrespects your mother? A man who would disrespect his own mother or any other woman. This is a shame in any country or culture. Furthuremore, he disrespects YOU in front of your mother?

I'm sorry, but any man who disrespected my mother would be back in his country in a heartbeat.

He doesn't work? You're a full time college student? Who pays the bills? Who supports you and this man who is 30 years old and should be supporting you? Since he does not work, where do you both live?

Is this normal behavior for marriage? Absolutely not! It's a recipe for furthure abuse.

Is this a man you want to be the father of your future children?

I highly suggest you read about domestic violence and how men mentally and verbally abuse long before they physically abuse. Please, call for help now before it's too late.

His education proves that an abuser can be educated, and still be an abuser. His PhD is hardly impressive when he needs to abuse you to prove his manhood, or self worth.

I've been there or I wouldn't be so harsh in my reply.

My kindest advice is ....work on your obvious low self esteem issues, continue your education, and get out of this relationship...fast.
