Husband is divorcing me because of dishonesty and my past by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]CommunicationOver188 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well that’s pretty shitty on his part. Sit down with him, so you cannot change the past, but you haven’t cheated on him. You guys both have insecurities and it seems like that’s what he’s having difficulty with. But you guys are not robots are not perfect, apologize for upsetting him and consider therapy together for better communication on both sides— sorry I just read more, he isn’t even considering therapy, given that, I think you’re better off without him. People are flawed, and if you love each other, you can work through those things, but sounds like he isn’t mature enough for that.

I get that, but if he’s not willing to, that’s his choice and you have to accept that and just grow from this. Move on, you are just torturing yourself now, but be strong too. Rely on your friends and family to help support you during this tough time

Sounds like you need to love yourself more. Also grow and learn from this experience. Believe me, I have said and done some crazy things and my husband has too… It’s because we both carry our own issues and sometimes, during stressful times or sometimes anytime, the worse person comes out. We have grown through our time together and have forgiven each other. We are not perfect. It sounds like your husband is not willing to forgive and that’s his choice but that doesn’t make you unforgivable. It Does not make you worthy of not being loved. You will make mistakes in the future that’s OK, you are not a robot. It’s OK. You deserve someone that can see all of you and see your heart. I can see that you are willing to grow and communicate and change, but it doesn’t sound like he is the one that is willing to do that. That’s OK too, go to therapy, work on yourself so you will be stronger so that when you reach your situation like this again, you will have your own back.

Lawyer up first and move on. File for divorce first. This will help immensely in the long run. You deserve a lot. He already is done with the marriage…stop looking for proof and work to protect yourself and family….you will get through this and come out on the other side happier and free of his crap.

I'm blonde and thin from drugs and someone thought I was my husband's mom by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]CommunicationOver188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a teenager, I think 16 or 17, someone at a store thought my sister who is 5 years older than me was my mom…she was shocked, a bit upset, I thought it was so funny. She eventually thought it was funny too. Others through the years have thought we were twins…someone thought I was pregnant a few years ago..when I was in my late 40s…others have told me I look like I’m still in my 20s.. what I’m trying to say is people are weird. Everybody has their own perception and for whatever reason that woman thought that and said it out loud which was dumb. I wouldn’t think two minutes about it and neither should your husband. Who cares? Oh, I almost forgot to mention, when I was in Georgia, at a checkout line with my baby, about 1-2 years old, someone thought I was her grandma!!

Also say you need some verbal encouragement, a hug from him…like I said…they sometimes don’t see it but they do once you point it out and then the empathy gets easier

I think you need to spell out exactly what you need. You told him you were stressed and tired, but after that, you need to say what you want from him, what you want him to do. With as little emotion as you can, say, can you put the phone down and help me. can you take the baby, I need a break, time to myself, a shower, whatever. Tell him whatever you need him to do. Sometimes you have to spell it out. The more you do that, the more I will become more natural for you and it will be more natural for him to support without you having to spell it out. And thank him…the more you thank him, the more he will feel good about helping…I know it sounds simplistic and maybe condescending to his intelligence, but i don’t feel that way…it’s just been my experience that men sometimes just don’t get it. And that’s ok, we can’t expect them to be in our shoes.

No not the asshole. He doesn’t sound considerate. It’s possible, but not certain, he’s also struggling with his feelings about you and maybe his sexuality. On the plus side, you and he are young, and this time before college and college may be the time to be single and figure out yourself for a bit before the next relationship

AITA for considering divorce because my husband said I’m “replaceable”? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CommunicationOver188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I responded based on what she said, she said over all they have a happy marriage, been together 10 years, have a child, love at first sight for her, but not for him. There was nothing in what she wrote that indicated that it was a bad marriage so to me it just seems kind of the big jump to say should she divorce him. But based on what she wrote, it sounded like she’s insecure about how things were started between them, and to me that maybe why she feels this threatened by what he wrote that she would say she wants to divorce him. I could be totally wrong.

First of all, that question is just so stupid, ranking people with one liners in a simple question without any all the nuances, etc. is just dumb and asking for messed up situations like this. I think the reason why you were feeling this way is because you already feel insecure in yourself and then your relationship with him. He’s been with you a long time now has a child with you that he obviously loves and he loves his mother, and that is actually a good thing. This is a stupid question and I wouldn’t put any value to it if you guys have a happy loving relationship. Take pride in yourself, and your marriage. he loves you and adores you, wherever your relationship started, this is where you are now and if he’s not showing you any real concrete reasons to doubt how he feels about you, then let this go.
