Dear EEB When The Abuse Is Not Physical What Do I Do?

Dear EEB

I was going through your blog recently and I saw an article where you wrote about domestic violence/abuse.
My own case is a bit different and that is why am confused.


I have been married for 3 years now. My husband doesn't physical abuse me but his verbal pronouncements can kill somebody. He says words and doesn't care if it hurts me or not. Even when am emotional troubled by those words, he carry on as if he doesn't notice anything.
I remember some months back, we had an argument and i went to bed crying but do you know he came into the room saw me in that state instead of trying to calm me he still went ahead forced his way and made love to me.

There are so many instances that i can't mention. I am not a perfect being but

Dear EBB readers: Should I date a guy whose ex-girlfriend is 7months pregnant?

From a EBB reader

I am crazy about this guy I met about two months ago. He swept me off my feet and made me fall for him before he told me his ex-girlfriend is 7 months pregnant for him. What I find odd in all this is that they dated for 6 and a half years and broke up just two months after they discovered they were expecting. He told me they grew apart and decided split which I find strange because which pregnant woman wants to leave the man she's pregnant for? I wish I could speak with the lady and find out what really happened between them but I'm too scared to contact her. He told me that chapter in his life is over and the only thing tying him to her is their unborn baby. I feel guilty dating a man with a pregnant girlfriend, but should I feel guilty? Should I go ahead with the relationship? Also, what kind of a man leaves his pregnant girlfriend?
