My husband has no friends or family so I am now his emotional dump, and he expects me to accept it.

My husband (36M) and I (36F) have been together for almost 12 years. When I met him, he was by far the most attractive guy I have ever met and very intelligent. We fell in love and things were great in the beginning. He was a very caring and kind person who always put me first. We have two kids together and I still love him so much. <br><br>Now the problem: He has no friends at all, and he has no family that he talks to. His mother gave birth to him when she was 16 and her parents took care of him, and he often felt like a burden to them, so he says. I met his family once but they havent contacted him again since i met him. He says that his mother has not contacted him again after I met him. He also has no friends and has never had any friends. <br><br>This all became apparent to me after i gave birth to our son. He started complaining about how stressed he feels about work and other things. And he started to dump all his emotions on me. He would cry, get angry, complain and vent to me about his life. I am not complaining, i am happy to support him and be there for him and i would never expect anything in return. He often talks about how stressed he is about money, his career, life, anything, and i am now his safe space to dump all his frustration. I am happy to be his safe space, and i have no problem supporting him. <br><br>The problem is that he expects me to accept this and be happy about it, but i am not happy. I often try to explain to him that i have my own life, problems, things that i am frustrated with, and i want to dump my emotions and stress on him, i want him to listen to me, i want to be his safe space and i want him to be my safe space. I try to tell him that we are both human, we both have problems and stress, and both of us need to vent sometimes. But he always says shit like i am so stressed and i need you to be my safe space, i expect you to listen to me and help me and be there for me, and i expect you to do all this because you have to, because you are my wife, and i have no friends or family. He doesnt see that im too stressed and i need him to be my safe space too. He doesnt see that i dump my emotions on him too. <br><br>And recently, he has said, "you are my wife, i expect you to listen to me and be there for me because thats your job as a wife," and "i dont care about whats going on in your life or what your problems are, i need you to help me and be there for me, and thats all that matters." I am so frustrated and, i dont even know what to say anymore, i feel so hurt and i feel like i am not his partner or his equal, i feel like i am his slave or something who has to help him and be there for him all the time. I just want him to see me as a person who also has problems and also needs to dump my emotions on him. I feel like i cant be myself or i cant express how i am feeling because i have to help him, i am not allowed to help myself, i am not allowed to have problems, i am only here to help him, and thats all i am good for. I honestly just feel like a dog to him. <br><br>What the hell do i do? Do i just accept this? I dont know what to do. I want to leave but i still love him and i cant imagine living without him.
