I'm in the same boat

Been married to younger Moroccan man for 2 years. Let me tell you, he has only gotten worse. Makes me feel bad, like I am a bad woman. I have done sooo much for him, but it is NEVER enough. He even says he is jealous of his friends whose wives don't make them work. They would love to be taken care of, but are so unwilling to give in return. Basically, my husband is a selfish man with tons of anger inside. I advise any of you to run. The good marriages are few. I have a friend whose husband is quiet and sweet, but most of the ones I know, other Moroccan men and family come way before you. They don't get it. They have no respect for women, love to save up complaints to throw in your face. You would never know I am a strong woman who used to love life. Now all I ever want is for him to leave, go find someone else, but why should he? He makes me wish I could run away. Even my dog doesn't trust him. He is nice to her when he is in a good mood. I even had to tell him I would kill him if he ever hurt her. She is so much better a friend than him. Can you tell I am over him? I am just hoping he gets tired of the BS and leaves.
