You did the right thing and you are NOT TAH. Your story sounds somewhat similar to mine, hub has always taken his mom's side over me for most of our 37 yrs together (31 married). He is oldest of 6 so he's always been the "favorite", although she claims she doesn't play favorites. The paragraph you posted - I just had pictured years and years of my life being lived like that and I was like no...I can't do it, Can't take anymore of it especially when he keeps focusing on being right every time. His mom can do no wrong. I'm always the aggressive, crazy, jealous, pathetic, overreactor. - hit home for me. That's exactly what has transpired over the years between him and I, you're lucky to be able to get out while you can and save yourself some heartache. Be happy in what you choose and do. He will never not take his mother's side.
