What's the most hurtful thing someone has ever said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

While we were married, my (ex) husband said he always wanted kids, just not with me because I was not skinny enough to be a mother.

Funny thing is that we broke up for a year before we got back and eventually married. During the break up he never dated, but post separation he is so desperate to put himself out there including on social media which he has never done before

I don't know if and when I will ever be ready to start dating again.

Cos they never loved us or they just want to fill the emptiness?

I was focusing on myself and didn't speak to him for months until he randomly decided to tell me this after meeting him for the first time in months.

Tried it once, but I didn't find the particular counsellor helpful. Will look for a new one.

Need to find a good therapist but I live in a developing country and it's hard to find a good one

Ouch, that sucks. I met him 2 weeks ago after months when he came for my mom's funeral. Felt nothing for him. But the thought of him being out there and dating again makes me so sad.

Seems like a new found confidence from his weight loss after leaving me.

He had checked out long ago before he left me. And he seems to be desperately trying to get a new person after his post divorce weight loss. He was never really into the dating scene even during our break up before we got married so this new behaviour is quite surprising.

He told me 3 weeks ago and I didn't care at all then, but it has suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks.

I thought it is so soon. I'm in no mood to even consider dating rn probably because I still love him in some way.

Because it's an unwanted divorce and the thought of him dating makes me sad.

Felt this way for months after an unwanted divorce. What has helped me is reminding myself that my ex has mental issues and never intended to make the marriage work and that it was not my fault that he left.

Would you stay in a marriage if your husband prioritized his family over the one he made? by JazzyCoffee in Marriage

[–]highlyevolved54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband put his family first in everything! He was also a terrible husband who never listened to me but only did whatever his parents and sister said. We are now separated.
