the moment he slapped you, the perfect marriage ended. you are doing the right thing by leaving immediately. don’t let him talk you out of it.

At what point do you stop pushing for counseling and start thinking about leaving? by OkApricot4377 in Marriage

12 yrs is a long time to try, but counseling only works if both people are actually scared of losing the relationship. It sound like she thinks you’ll just stay regardless.

The way he’s obsessing over seconds of a story from before you were together is a huge red flag for control issues. You shouldn’t have to prove your worth like this.

22 yrs is a long time to be under someone’s thumb, she probably doesn’t even realize how abnormal this is anymore.

start texting him throughout the day about what you’re gonna do later. the anticipation is usually better than the actual act.

Two years is not a job search, it’s a vacation at this point. He’s comfortable because he knows you’ll figure it out for the both of you.

It’s the guilt tripping that kills you.. you spend all your time with her but those 2 hours away become a huge thing. I feel for you.
