My husband & I got into a physical confrontation last night.  He could have killed me.  Today he's being super nice due to guilt & realizing that he could loose me forever now over this.  I would like to know what to do?  Does anyone see a happy future for us?  We've only been married 2 months but have such a rocky past & present.  He is so secretive & moody.  I think he could be bipolar.  He doesn't realize how illogical & irrational his thoughts & behavior are.  He is like this about 50% of the time.  & completely happy & acts like immature kid the other 50% of the time.  He's too old to be like this.  He is 47 I'm only 33.  Please if anyone can tell me anything to help me in this time of confusion.  I want us to go to counseling if I decide to stay but he acts like its out of the question.  He says I'm the one that needs counseling.  Please someone help me with this matter.  I would be so greatful!!!!!!

Well...I don't need the cards to tell me that you need to take action for divorce.
From your other post I read you have been on and off with him for about 6 years.
Something "funny" happen to "some" people when they marry, the excitement to be together "vanish" and the ownership take place instead.
I belive from your post that you have got yourself a sort of "Physcopat". Their mood is very changing and they can be a "darling" to other but nasty to those he "own".
But the fact that you have second thoughts after 2 months also tells me that you have no belief in your marriage yourself. Since you have known each other for so long I can not think of any improvement in your relationship.
So my best advice is...divorce.

Thanks for the advice.  My head says divorce but my heart says the opposite.  I want him to admit he has a problem with his temper & moodiness.  But so far he's in denial.  I really want to see him get professional help.  Even if its too late for us he has kids to think of.  And we have a 3yr old together too.  I think hitting me last night may have woke him up some though.  Its sad that it took that to get his attention.  But if it saves him then I'm glad it happened.  I love him too much to see him continue to live his way of life.
Thanks for the advice but I don't want to give up on him or us just yet.  I don't think I'm in any danger from him.  I think everyone has given up on him & thats his problem.  He needs me.
Thanks & take care

Everything is up to you...and I shall not say anything more about it...just ask you :

I think Hollywood have made about 1000 films about the same case you are in. All the victims say the same..."we hope he will change", well since 1000 films are made, none have changed and since there is a victim...the films are made.

Have you seen any of these films? Do you belive it's fiction? Is't worth saving him if you are destroyd in the prosess?  Can the option be that you leave him until he has started on proffesional help? You must also think on your baby, what modell do you see your husband is for this child?
Do you know that children growing up in homes with violence often become violent themself.

I shall stop...I wish you all well....and I realy hope you will get a good life!

I know you are absolutely right.  I would be saying the exact same thing if I saw someone else in this situation.  But I guess its easier said than done.
