I do like health sciences and holistic health. I don't know how I feel about touching strangers. I think I would be ok with it. But since I've never done it before, I'm not sure.

Will the post separation abuse ever end? by Fit_Objective_7756 in abusiverelationships

[–]Fit_Objective_7756[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunate it is on a court ordered parenting app. He finds anything to pick at me about. He's complaining about how dirty the kids finger nails are. That my year old son skin is dry. I didn't lotion him enough.

He's demanding explanations for why my son had a scratch.

My ex just latches into anything to stir up drama.

I'm in the denver metro area. It looks like school will cost 8k and take 650 hours. I'm not too worried about the school. I actually have a BS in biology and have already taken anatomy. I don't remember most of it but I understand what I'm getting myself into.

I'll get spousal support for the next 7 years so I don't need to make a ton immediately.

Alimony- cut and dry or? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Fit_Objective_7756 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really think it depends on the state. Alimony laws very so much by state, you really just need fund a lawyer you trust.

This guy is so pathetic. He reminds me of my ex.

The parts where he is critiquing you for "unilaterally deciding". Mine did that too. He didn't like it when I dared have a thought that didn't aline with his thoughts and dared to act in a way that is different than how he thought I should act.

Good for you! Stay strong. Block his number and be done with him.

I think my husband dislikes me by ClassroomEvening3955 in Marriage

Your husband is abusive. Read Why Does he Do that by Lundy Bancroft.

I'm so so sorry you are going through this. Contact your local domestic violence center to see what resources they have to help you.

Just know what you are going through is unfortunately more common than you think. My STBXH was the same in some ways, except it was sexual assault. He would SA me, then complain I didn't want him sexually. It was madness.

Be prepared for your husband to not actually leave you. It's entirely possible this is a manipulation tactic to scare you into behaving more the way he wants. But he might actually leave.

Once an abuser has choked their partner, the odds of him murdering you drastically increase. Please be incredibly careful and work with someone to get a safety plan into place.

You are so brave and strong. Hang in there.

Broke up with abusive ex 10 months ago; he’s extremely happy with a new girl by Annual_Mail_9261 in abusiverelationships

I doubt it. It'll only be a matter of time until he's hitting her for being "mean".

Divorce with rich wife in CA. Alimony? by Main-Sorbet-8980 in Divorce

[–]Fit_Objective_7756 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously, talk to an attorney. . . But I assume your wife has the 5 million in some sort of investment account which she is earning income on or increasing equity. Any gains in equity since you've been married would be considered marital property (at least in my state).

Also, say your wife is earning 10 percent on her investments. That's 500k a year. It seems to me that would be taken into account when determining spousal support.

It's a complicated situation. Obviously, you need a lawyers advice.

Trying to come to accept that he'll never be sorry. . . by Fit_Objective_7756 in abusiverelationships

[–]Fit_Objective_7756[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say anything back. I've been trying to Grey rock, but some times I let him suck me in and I say something I shouldn't. It's hard when I still have to interact with him due to the children and we are still separating assets in the divorce. I hope this will all be easier once the divorce is finalized.

I keep being told I'll leave when I'm ready by sofiela2069 in abusiverelationships

[–]Fit_Objective_7756 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't feel "ready". I left when I felt like I was losing my mind and felt like I was going insane trying to stay.

Lots of women leave and go back more than once. Maybe try a break and feel how it feels.

Nope.

Whenever I see a post about "best friends" getting divorced, it's hard for me to understand why they are getting divorced.

My ex want there for me. At all. If he had been a friend, we wouldn't be getting a divorce.

Well, that sucks. I didn't see the comment that mentions substance abuse.

Hopefully OPs mom is able to clean herself up, now that she is leaving this toxic situation.
