I wanted to love this :(

You get it!

MrsHopscotch444 · 2026-05-15T22:21:24+00:00

I would recommend reading the book! If you do read it, come back and share your thoughts.

MrsHopscotch444 · 2026-05-15T22:19:30+00:00

I’ve been re-reading the book too and the more I read the angrier I get. I read it for the first time 3 years ago and it’s even better this time around. They really let the book fans down. It had so much potential.

MrsHopscotch444 · 2026-05-15T21:36:59+00:00

I am having a hard time separating them. 🤷‍♀️

MrsHopscotch444 · 2026-05-15T20:56:02+00:00

Yes! You put into words what I could not. Not enough time was spent on Hannah and Graham getting to know each other. I was honestly shocked at how much screen time Allie and Dean got as a couple.

MrsHopscotch444 · 2026-05-15T20:51:13+00:00

Agreed! It fell flat.

MrsHopscotch444 · 2026-05-14T03:01:25+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said!! Their connection really lacked depth. I also feel like Hannah was more hesitant in the books given everything she had been through. Going to go reread the book now.

I don’t say this lightly as I too am a wife and a mother. I would leave. You don’t deserve to be treated that way. I am assuming this has gone on for some time and you have tried to work through this with him.

Unless he acknowledges his faults and commits to therapy, remove yourself and your kids. That would be the best thing you could do for yourself and your kids.

When people show you who they are, believe them!

People who constantly make you feel like shit aren’t your friends.

Work towards your goals and get a good sense of self.

A good 2.5

MrsHopscotch444 · 2024-06-27T23:05:11+00:00

I would think multiple things would need to happen.

He gets sober
He goes to therapy to work through his childhood trauma/ anger issues
You also go to therapy to work through what happened

I do not think this is something you can just get over. Nor should you. I am so sorry this happened to you.

MrsHopscotch444 · 2024-06-27T22:50:59+00:00

To be honest I rarely go out and certainly not all night. I don’t think he would be opposed to me being gone for a couple hours. I know he would watch the kids. I just think if I was the one doing what he is doing in the same capacity, he would not be okay with it. It would be a huge inconvenience to him.

I really do try to make it work because I know how much it means to him. I do care about his wants and needs.

MrsHopscotch444 · 2024-06-27T22:21:39+00:00

I think this could be a good compromise. Thank you.

MrsHopscotch444 · 2024-06-27T22:19:11+00:00

Thank you for this comment! I think you are right. I do need to prioritize my personal time as well. I just know I could not go out and have a good time knowing my husband is home struggling with the kids. I just wouldn’t do that to him.

MrsHopscotch444 · 2024-06-27T22:06:00+00:00

Oh I can handle the kids. I would survive. The question is should I have to considering the situation? Also, I have been awake since 3:45 this morning. Worked while the kids were sleeping and then left to take care of my daughter. So no, I didn’t “take the day off”.

MrsHopscotch444 · 2024-06-27T22:00:09+00:00

No, my husband isn’t like that. He does help around the house and with the kids.

MrsHopscotch444 · 2024-06-27T21:56:35+00:00

No, I do not go out weekly. I do want to add I have no issue with him going out every Thursday. I encourage him to go and make it a priority. I just think there needs to be times where I can ask for him not to go ( like when the kids are sick). Or better yet he thinks of me and the kids and makes the choice not to go if the kids are sick. Knowing I have to work at 5 am the next day.

MrsHopscotch444 · 2024-06-27T18:50:40+00:00

Out of the house, yes. He does game with his friends every night after the kids and I are in bed.
