Lookback: 1 year after marriage

“stay in marriage despite abuse”

Husband's constant sarcasm and mean jokes hurt me. He's never apologized and has been emotionally abusive.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to set boundaries and prioritize my own well-being."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't stay in an abusive relationship; prioritize your own safety and happiness."
