too funny and sad. You forgot “you’re only request is that he live nearby and you start fantasizing about which of your single friends would make a stepmom you could deal with.”

Like learning how to swim or riding a bicycle for the first time, you are filled with doubt, uncertainty, and fear. It only intensifies with commin close to leaving and finding yourself planning an escape instead, as if you are his slave. You are looking because you are playing his game, he enjoys the power more then he’d enjoy carrying out the threats….just go…you’ll find that the othr side of the disaster is really his own destruction and your peace and growth.

I have been with my husband for 18 years, we have been married for 12 of those years. We have 4 children, one of them mine from a previous marriage. Off and on throughout those years I have wanted out. It always seems that he is only concerned about his feelings even if he asks me how I feel it seems to turn back to his feelings. I can’t even express myself without him “taking it personally”. We had a “in-house” separation for about 3 months. I pesonally confided in an old boyfriend-nothing ever came of this. My husband found out and confronted the old boyfriend. The old boyfriend graciously stepped-out of the picture although he wasn’t really in the picture as he doesn’t live in this country (I can totally relate to #3 though). My husband is verbally abusive and tells me that I am a horrible mother (along with some other things and that no-one will ever love me they way that he does). He always wants credit for everything he does or doesn’t do, he has lost weight and is working out and is constantly looking in the mirror and this annoys me to no end. He said that during our “separation” that I pushed him into being with somone else. Not really sure if he was with someone or not. He even said that he was prepared to move out and ruin me i.e. do everything possible to destroy me, take my kids, get me fired from my job, damage my car to name a few. I had to take him back because I was not financially able to move out on my own (he also said that he had the paperwork drawn up for a divorce). We are living as husband and wife and he is being very nice, but I still have feelings of wanting out. I don’t know what I should do. I have even taken on another way to make more income so that I might be able to save money and eventually move out. I have no family of my own and have always been close to his. There have been a few family get togethers since our break-up that he has not included me in. I am really confused and don’t know what to do. I have never truely been single and on my own aside from about 6 months before he and I got together. Does anyone have any advice?

If I did not have two small children I would have divorced him years ago. I just need them to be a few years older and then I am free…………

I’m so sick of staying. I’ve left so many times. The thought of not living with my daughter haunts me. It brings me back every single time. The I’m sorry gifts, from Dior to whatsoever. The “I do everything for you” guilt parties. Hurting almost every day. I had a childhood far worse than any Lifetime movie or book could ever portray. If I say I’m leaving he makes me believe I’m a horrible person and mother. I’d rather be deceased than live this way.

I can honestly say yes to all! I am sure that is a sign that I need to grow up and move on ! These types of choices are never easy and it’s so much harder when it’s you! I stay cause my daughter needs a dad. Is that worth giving up on happiness that I could possibly have in a fullfilling relationship for myself? just glad I am not the only one out there that dreads dealing w their other half.
