the last time I stood up to her by supporting my 14 year old daughter's right not to be dragged kicking and screaming to the meetings I was made to sleep on an airbed in the dining room...that was two months ago and I'm still there.
My question is, who's right is it to tell you where to sleep? She's far from following her precious "bible principles" to kick you out of the bedroom.
Dmouse, the both of you entered this marriage, and that's both your bed. You have the right to decide if you want to sleep in it. If you choose not to, that's fine. If you didn't choose to sleep on the air mattress, I need to ask you why you're taking this abuse from her? They're just words coming out of her mouth. Did she take a gun to your head? If she didn't, you get your ass back into that bedroom and sleep on the bed. If she doesn't like sleeping with you, she can sleep on the air mattress. If you don't like sleeping with her, move the bed into the dining room and put the air mattress in the bedroom. It's her turn to sleep on the air mattress. That's what marriage is about - making sacrifices, and you've done it for 2 months. Her turn.
Standing up for your daughter is one thing, and your daughter needs to do some of the work herself, but you're the only one who's going to be able to stand up for you. If you can't stand listening to her, earplugs are cheap. Stand up to the bitch, and stand up for yourself. You might actually get your way.
No, I'm not done yet. Onto your books. You paid money for those things. You invested money in something for yourself, not for the marriage. Those were your personal belongings. Confront her about it. If she denies it, take colladeral for the books, but let her know about it. It's mean, but it works.
This marriage isn't about love anymore, it's about survival. Until you can get out of this shit, learn to survive it. You'll become much stronger.
