You should definitely not put up with emotional abuse. But, you also need to be very careful when confronting a spouse about the abuse you suffer. While some spouses never graduate from emotional to physical abuse it is always a possibility.
You can offer your spouse a choice to get help or live with the consequences of a separation or divorce. Before you confront your spouse, you need to make sure you have a safe place to go and you are actually ready to leave. Threats are not helpful. Sometimes when faced with separation a spouse will agree to attend counseling or therapy either together or individually.
