My husband has always been mentally abusive towards me. We have tried counseling and it didn't work. He is still this overbearing, macho, selfish person. I feel I am an attractive woman, so I have been told through the years, I have a degree and a great job. I seem to have it together yet nothing is good enough for him. He still constantly degrades me and try's to put me down in what ever I say or do. We argue at least 4 or 5 days out of the week. We have a 3 year old daughter together that is like his shadow and is closer to him then me. I finally found the courage to asked him for a divorce and to please work with me for our daughters sake. I said I would give him 50/50 and not ask for anything else. I explained to him how I wanted both of us to be happy. He is now avoiding my phone calls and will not return his daughter's phone calls, which is not like him. I feel that he is punishing our daughter to get to me. I can't understand why if he hates me so much, degrades me everyday, tells me I'm a terrible mother and thinks he could get better why doesn't he cooperate with the divorce, so we can both be happy apart?
