I am told I am wrong every time I have an opinion on anything, she doesn’t like when I express any sort of opinion so I stopped. But if I give an opinion she has to tell me I am wrong or stupid or dumb for thinking that. I told her once I felt like she was kinda calling me stupid constantly and she laughed and said “you mean I call you stupid all the time” yes… exactly that… and she went on to say she calls me stupid all the time because I am stupid…<br><br>She also will point out to me how stupid I am when she catches me doing something dumber… like yesterday I turned a wrench the wrong way for half a second… she said “See? You’re stupid” and I said yeah I did something a little dumber there but she went on to say that everything I do is stupid or constantly calling me dumb. It’s really starting to make me hate her or resent her. She laughs about it to so that makes it even worse. I am getting sick of being told I am stupid constantly. But I don’t know how to get her to stop or how to get her to realize constantly calling me stupid all the time is really affecting me. Everything I do she judges me and just tells me how stupid I am… even when I am doing the right thing…<br><br>She also told me other night when we were having sex that she has to direct me and tell me what to do or else I would mess it up and she said that I am stupid and don’t know how to have sex without being told how to… that also hurt my feelings. We have been together for 16 years but only married for 2. She has always been very critical and judgmental but she wasn’t constantly calling me stupid all the time for everything… recently she started doing this…<br><br>I don’t know what to do… I love her but I hate being judged and criticized all the time. I feel like I can’t even talk anymore or say anything without being called stupid. I feel like I’m starting to walk on eggshells all the time… What can I do to get her to realize she constantly belittles me and puts me down all the time? Do I need counseling? Do I just constantly tell her how it makes me feel to be constantly called stupid? Do I tell her I am just gonna ignore her now so she can’t tell me constantly how stupid I am? I feel so belittled and judged and criticized that I can’t even stand talking to her anymore… I’ve been telling her to stop belittling me all the time but she just tells me I am stupid and I constantly need to be belittled…<br><br>I think I might be over sensitive so I told her how it constantly makes me feel but she told me that I am wrong to feel belittled just because she calls me stupid and a lot of other belittling words all the time… I don’t know what to do… I’m so tired of being called stupid when I do anything so I now just ignore her and don’t talk to her or express any opinions or do anything anymore… I’m tired of being called stupid and belittled all the time and constantly judged.
