When I ask him to please cease as a result of it’s upsetting or tense (or giving me indigestion if we’re having a meal), he blames me and says I “have to” let him vent and say nothing, not even ask him to please cease so I can take pleasure in my meals.

We argue usually about this. I’ve tried speaking to him about it when he wasn’t upset. His response is at all times the identical: I have to cope with it. If I attempt to purpose with him, he justifies and excuses his habits and places the blame again on me. I need to run away from this marriage due to it. By the best way, he’s nearly 70 years outdated and has been doing this his total life. — READY TO FLEE IN TENNESSEE
