verbal punching bag

I need help getting away from my verbally abusive consistently negative spouse. I care for him and want him to be happy but I'm done being his verbal punching bag and want to get away from his constant criticism. I'm afraid if I try to escape this marriage I will lose everything. I just want him...

I am not other people's verbal punching bag. Make it stop! I am deserving of some respect and acknowledgement for all the good I do.
