I have nobody in my life that supports me. No purpose to my life. My husband treats me like dirt. I am just so frustrated with being sad all the time but just when I think it is looking up, I get knocked down again.
It took forever for them to respond.

The clarity of the different strategical methods was not completely clear to me.
No, just what I mentioned above.
Hello, I am here to listen. How are things going?

Question
Bad. Almost had a good day and then got treated bad in the end so I don't know why I try.

I understand how you feel. It seems as if you are being treated badly for no genuine reason. Is this correct?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
That is correct.

Who is treating you badly? Do you believe there are any causes behind the actions of those hurting you?
assistant
Question
My husband mainly. He just doesn't want me to enjoy life I guess.
user

That must be really difficult to go through, I know when my partner treats me badly, I am hurt and upset with them.
assistant
Self-disclosure
Yeah, just become part of life I guess. Doesn't make it any better.

Are there any steps you can think of taking to express your frustrations with your husband?
assistant
Question
I have tried many times. It always ends up my fault in the end so I don't bother anymore and just take it.

It is easy to lose patience when the blame is always directed towards you. I am sorry that is occurring, but applaud you for your efforts in trying to express your frustration.

Affirmation and Reassurance
Thank you. It gets trying at times. Tonight, I just sit in the dark alone because it isn't worth the hassle.

I can tell from chatting with you that you are struggling and fed up with this situation because you are trying very hard in your marriage but get nothing but disrespect in return.
assistant
Reflection of feelings
That is for sure. Most of the time it is just the way life is but there are days I get fed up and it irritates me. It has been this way for a while.

From what I have seen, if a situation like this continues, not only will you be consumed with anger towards your husband which will all come out at once, but it may also lead to divorce based on research I have read about.

I won't divorce...even if I am miserable, that isn't an option.

I understand. I would prefer to work out a situation rather than use divorce as an option as well, but I am concerned with how miserable you have become.
assistant
Self-disclosure
I have gotten used to it. It is the way I am supposed to live my life I guess.

Some people respond to different strategies. You have tried communication through words to tell your husband your feelings, but have you shown him the consequences of his actions? Does he see how miserable you are? I suppose I wonder if you are interested in utilizing different strategies to find a solution to your issues with your husband and any others who may treat you badly.

He knows I am miserable. He knows I am upset. He is the living room watching tv and I am in the bedroom. It doesn't bother him that I am upset. It is getting late where I am and I should probably go to bed soon.

Alright. I have enjoyed talking to you, and hope that things will work out for you. My last suggestion is possibly to try to talk your husband into couple's therapy and see how he responds. Even if he responds negatively, at least you have tried to dissolve the issue once again. In situations like this, remember even when you feel completely alone, that someone is looking out for you even if you do not realize it. Take a few calming deep breaths and engage in self-care, you deserve it.
