DEAR ABBY: I have experienced something that other women I know have said they have also experienced. I dated a man for a year. We became very close and fell in love. He was sweet, loving and kind in every way. Before I would commit to marriage, I made sure we had discussions about respect and what I expected from a life partner.
The change in my (now) husband was instantaneous with our marriage and severe. He became someone I didn’t know and never would have married. He is argumentative, petty and a bully. I feel as if I’ve been lied to. What happened? — CONFOUNDED IN OREGON
DEAR CONFOUNDED: What happened is while your husband was courting you, he put only his best foot forward, concealing who he really is. If the person he now shows himself to be isn’t someone you would have married, end the emotional abuse and the bullying by ensuring he can’t hide assets to which you may be entitled and talking to a lawyer about freeing yourself from this marriage to a stranger.
