He is a typical middle eastern guy

For some reason, they think they are God's gift to women. They use their anger like a stick to control you. Ask yourself, if you are crying, why don't they offer comfort? First, they have never had to give of themselves, second, they really don't give a dang whether you cry or not because it is not about them, and they really have no idea how to feel somebody else's pain or show empathy. They are selfish, childish, and controlling. They are masters at turning problems around on you and suddenly you think, "WTF?" Then you feel guilty for a vague reason when they are the problem. It's the weirdest thing. They have an innate ability to put you down and make you feel like you are nothing.

My husband has been a pain in the butt since he has been here, starting out with porn online, not wanting to work, throwing things and screaming, and in general acting like a 3 year old who still has tantrums. He is vindictive and "stores" away things to throw back in my face. He will take innocent comments from friends and turn them into a negative against you. Trust me, they teach you how to hate them and stomp your love in the ground piece by piece until there is none left. Then you can't get rid of them. Just reading and writing this makes me sad. I wish he would find someone else online and just out of my life. And even while I write this, I can cry and he doesn't care. It is always about him and how he is hurt. As an educated woman, you would think I would have known better. He didn't turn into an angry jerk til he got here. BUT he treats everybody mean when he is mad. Pouts, etc. Run as fast as you can the other way. Wish I had, but now I am stuck. I tell him I don't love him and to leave, but he doesn't care....what a mess!!!
