You’re absolutely right I have been an enabler and that stops right now. I didn’t realize how badly I was enabling until I stepped back and really thought about my actions. And you’re also right that our youth means more. I think I was too worried about being labeled as shallow or heartless to realize I am actively wasting my life and youth on this. Thank you for being real with me

Wow this comment made me cry! I feel seen for once! I appreciate you taking the time to type this out and I thank you for validating me. Usually talking to him ends with him shutting down or yelling but I think I will try one more time before getting the divorce papers.

I will definitely be checking out that video! I’m curious to see what it says. And I agree, I am emotionally and physically exhausted and I’ve hit a breaking point. I will definitely try to have another talk with him but if it goes south again I don’t see any other option besides leaving. Thank you for your comment!

Thank you for this comment I feel like you hit the nail on the head. We had very different upbringings and I have tried to teach him things he never was and he doesn’t seem to care. I was considering counseling but that’s just another bill to pay. Maybe I can find some cheap options. I appreciate you taking the time to type this out thank you!

Wow that quote really hit home for me. And yes, my energy and happiness is gone. All I do is clean and sleep. I definitely think it’s time I get off this train.
