Woman Confesses Emotional Abuse, Feels Trapped in Marriage

A distressed woman has reached out for advice regarding her long-term marriage, citing persistent verbal abuse and a complete lack of affection from her husband.

In a letter to a relationships counselor, she described a situation where her husband has never forgiven her for a past mistake. Daily verbal abuse, including frequent swearing, has become the norm.

She feels trapped in the relationship, stating that her husband "never shows affection."

In response, the counselor, identified as DEAR CAROLINE, has advised that separation appears to be the only viable option for the woman's well-being.
