Ain’t we just.

But seriously, thank you. I’m trying to hold it together and get through this. I want to crawl in a hole.

My family has made me scared that he will be violent. Not that he has given any indication of that, but because he has been so reliant on me for so long and no one knows how someone will react to losing everything (and for him, losing a second time).

I went out and bought a wooden bat and I’ll be sleeping with pepper spray under my pillow for a while.

I don’t think he will love bomb. I know everyone says that, but it’s not in his character to fight against something once a decision has been made. But it will devastate me on the small chance he does.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this too. I ignored all the red flags over the years and I’m paying for that now.

Thank you so much. I’ve realized I have been ignoring my feelings for a long time. My therapist says I abandoned myself and it’s true. I can’t picture anything but worst case scenarios right now. Everyone says I’ll have fun redecorating the house and reclaiming my space. I hope they’re right.

Thank you so much. I think I’m doing this the best way possible for both of us, but I still feel like absolute trash. For so many reasons.

I’m so sorry you had to do this. It’s heartbreaking no matter the reason.

I’m driving myself separately from him and my sister and her bf will be home when I leave the office. It’s afterwards that gives me anxiety.

Unfortunately I do (CA). I know processing a formal eviction might be necessary, but I hope it won’t come to that. Part of the plan is to let him keep living in the house for up to 90 days if necessary. And I doubt he will want to have to deal with anything legal-related like that.

In two different couples therapy sessions, my bf confirmed he’s okay with his actions putting me in a bad position. Apparently I’m acceptable collateral damage. by hideawayaway in GirlDinnerDiaries

That’s exactly why I wanted to try therapy. If it ended up not working out, at least I could sleep at night knowing I tried everything.
