Married 25 years to a nice, educated family man. Problem is, when my husband is depressed, he directs his anger at me with verbal abuse and becomes a different person, like there are two of him. For instance, I have spent the past 2 mos. shopping, wrapping & preparing for Christmas... mostly his family, mine are out of state. Decorated to the nines, gifts personally selected & wrapped beautifully... he says to me, "Your gifts are worthless and most of them will probably get returned". Then, the other night we were at a martini bar with my son and his new girlfriend (1st time meeting her). My husband calls me Alice at the table. I said, that's not my name. Again he called me Alice. I said, if you can't remember my name, at least think of something cute. He says, "Okay BERTHA!" Now, I am not fat, don't have a big butt, conversely I am very attractive. Need your opinions, please on how you would feel/deal with this, he won't go to counseling. I get these zingers often, that blindside me.
