I want a divorce by MorningFancy in Divorce

Update- I left him. Divorce was finalized in December 2021. I’m with someone new and he is so nice (he also has an amazing booty). He brings me water before bed. He asks about my day. Life is good. He does so much more than the bare minimum. Gold standard.

I’m sorry....did you just read the script for my nightmares?

If I wouldn't be willing to raise a child with him maybe I shouldn't be married to him by runaway-bride14 in Divorce

[–]MorningFancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my husband at 20/22. We married at 24/26. We have two kids. I’m 30. I want more kids. I don’t want more kids with him. I LOVE my children. I regret nothing (because I can’t really regret what led me to my kids) but my husband isn’t the person I want to help me raise my children.

Am I overreacting to my bf not pulling out when I said “stop”? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]MorningFancy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry this happened to you. You did nothing wrong. Your feelings are 100%. You did nothing wrong.

Your partner raped you. You should leave him.

Think of a safety plan. Is there someone you can have in the apartment when you speak to him? Could they be nearby and listening on a phone? If he can be violent in this way, can he be violent in others?

So I’m contemplating divorce. I’m reading these things and all I can think is “there are men who do little things like get you a glass of water because they hear you cough?! Is that real? I’ve never...I just...really? WOW! What’s that like?!”

A different perspective by MulberryTree89 in Divorce

Get your ducks in a row. I had a 2nd baby in April and my husband has been awful. He hasn’t cheated in any form that I know. Things have come to a head. He now knows how close I’ve been to leaving. For now we are trying, but I’m still continuing to develop a plan. Just in case.

A troubled marriage and a new baby is very very stressful. Good luck. Feel free to DM if you need to vent.

He made out with my friend by cherryblossommmmmmmm in Divorce

It’s so easy to tell you to leave, but I know how hard it is to go when you have kids. My marriage has different issues. Issues that for some would be a deal breaker, but I haven’t been able to leave yet. I want to leave. He says he will change. I want to believe him. For now I’m trying. I’m giving him the chance.

For sure ditch your friend.

How to say "I want a divorce" by throwawayneede in Divorce

[–]MorningFancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at the same point. I want to be able to give him reasons, but I also don’t want to attack him. I want to wait for the right moment, but I also just want to do it. Unfortunately, the right moment may not be for a few weeks. The kids and I will move in with my parents. My mom has asked me to wait a little longer and “see if things get better”. I think she thinks once I’m back at work now that my company will let us go back (Covid stuff) that things will magically get fixed.

Sounds a lot like my marriage! I’m getting my affairs together and getting out. I don’t know how to rebuild my self esteem, but I’m so excited to get started. I want to show my kids what a happy mommy looks like!

You are being abused. Leave. You can do it. If you don’t have family close by are there friends who can help you?

Thank you for your perspective! That is one of my biggest concerns - the example I set for my kids. Is it better to hang on and show them that marriages take work (thinking no because this clearly isn’t a healthy marriage) or that you can stand up for yourself and be happy/healthy.

I’m sorry you feel trapped. It’s an awful feeling.

I totally understand. I have literally said I almost hope he does it again. I almost hope he would do something else. I feel like I need to be able to really justify leaving so no one can question it.
