love her!

i say she gets counseling.

Bridget you are fabulous

Here's my biggest issue with this user who wrote the original tale. If you want help then you need to be pro-active. I will not waste my time making suggestions to a person who wants to complain but not take any action to fix the problems.

Like Bridget mentioned, you should never subject you or your children to verbal/mental/physical abuse. I realize a lot of women/men in these stories are very scared of the "what ifs." This just makes me wonder what else this person is not telling us. A lot of women choose to stay put because they are not educated, not employed, and not confident.

wow, did baby bridget suddenly get uglier? because i could've sworn for a second i heard her in the video. hmmm either that or bridget needs more creativity with her voices ;) hahah but really, bridget & her child are both stunningly awesome.

I agree that the user's best bet is to go seek counseling. Her advice may be "not so professional", but it is good advice.

Communication is the #1 most important thing in a relationship. If you can't even tell your partner that there is something wrong, that is a major issue. I totally agree that counseling is the way to go. You must learn to communicate and end toxic habits!

Yes, marriage is difficult but it's worth it. I've only been married for almost two years, and I absolutely love it. I know that we're still in our honeymooon stage, but my hubby really makes me happy. I know couples who has had problems and were able to work through it through counseling. As long as both sides want to make it work, I think marriage is worth it. If one side already gave up, then there might not be much future in it though.

I agree people should get counseling, but I can also say people often don't want to take responsibility for choices they make. Nobody forces one down the aisle. If someone gets married, they wanted to. If you don't want to get married, then don't. Not enough people can admit that they are just as difficult to live with as the spouse. It takes 2. I've been married 26 years and each of us has learned to compromise and grow better. It's not easy but worth it.

Counseling is a good thing to display to our children that we are trying to make our marriages work. Sometimes we want an easy way out and won't work on our commitments. Also, I'd like to say that I like Bridget in this episode; she is not over the top as in others, but still has sprinkles of cute humor that are not distracting from the topic of the episode.

The problem is that a lot of people avoid therapy because it makes them acknowledge that there's a problem that needs fixing. Scary!

I have some serious thoughts about this. You need to have standards. You wouldn't let your friends call you a piece of sh** so why would you let your partner. I wouldn't go to therapy I would tell him to get therapy or I would leave. It took a lot of therapy for me to realize my self worth and she needs to realize hers too. But getting therapy won't do anything for her if she still has someone at home making her feel terrible about herself because it's a lot easier to believe negative things about yourself than positive things especially when your self esteem is already in the toilet.

Therapy is a great step that will help to establish a time and a place for actively working on resolving this issue. The issue is complex and a therapist can help give the guidance and consistency that is needed when going through these intense processes where we have to face ourselves and make some really difficult decisions. The writer asked if it's worth it to stay with someone who treats her this way. I would say: No way. No how. If this problem is not being addressed and things are not going to change, there is no point in prolonging the suffering for everyone involved. If these issues are ever going to be resolved then they have to start somewhere for you to ever get anywhere... otherwise you are making a choice to stay in the the circumstances that you have expressed sadness and distress over.

A very tough subject, but I'll have to agree with Bridget, seek counseling. If you're interested at all in saving the marriage, just go. On a side note, Bridget, I feel like you're stealing the limelight a bit too much; I'd like to hear more from Montgomery. Hi, Montgomery.
