Welcome to the forum - in my posts, I often refer to my abuser as "he," but abuse is abuse and male-battering is probably one of the most unknown, least-reported, and taboo topics with regard to relationships! I have known hundreds of abused women and less than a dozen men who have reported domestic violence and abuse.

Below are some links that you may find helpful. And, please try to understand that not all women are manipulative or conniving, just as not all men are abusive narcissists!

Good luck.

i am sorry that you may be in a bad place. I am sorry if you are in an abusive situation. It's not a competition- PEOPLE are abused and no one is denying this due to gender. I hope things work out for you and if you need any support I am here. However- does it make someone abusive or manipulative because they cook badly? I think they still deserve appreciation for putting the time in to make you food that helps you stay alive. If you made someone a card and they said the artwork was ugly does that make you manipulative etc.? would it hurt your feelings if they told you that your card stinks and that you are probably trying to hurt them because it stinks? maybe you could take on new roles- you cook and they could do a different chore?!

sounds like a pity party to me.

chose what you want and go for that. if you let anyone run your life, they probably will.

What does the part about the women that can't cook have to do with abuse? You have two hands...cook it yourself.

Since you added that to your message, the rest just doesn't wash with me. You don't sound like an angel yourself.
