I did it. I left my husband.
 
I went yesterday and bought a futon, bought stuff for my cat, and myself. I spent the night there last night after calling out the calvary (My three best friends) who spent the evening making me laugh.
He wasn't evil, he wasn't physically abusive. He was.... a lot of things. Disrespectful of me... felt up a girl in front of me, in front of my friends, always treated other girls better than he treated me. He wasn't supportive mentaly, emotionally, financially... When his mother said "You make more so you have to pay more to live here," and he asked me why I had a problem with that, I should have known, ONE interview in the past 4 months of unemployment.
Towards the end I really have felt that he was trying to push me to do something. To absolve him of the guilt of leaving me. That's fine, I have no guilt, I tried for years to save this.
 
30 days. that's how long he has to prove himself to me if he wants me back. I just want to be happy again.

    30 days ?  Most men will have you replaced before your done packing!

    lol... I think if I were a man and a woman gave me 30 days, I'd her a new policy reflecting a  NO RETURN POLICY !  With following instructions to proceed directly to the curb.  If your dumb enough to get married, enter such a contract, one of the terms thereof come to mind....

    For better or worst.......  :-)   Gotta lov the institution of Marriage...lmao

    Hottips4u: If he decides to replace me with in those 30 days, it's his perogative. If he decides that I wasted my chance with him. That's fine. I'd be happy walking away and getting a divorce. But after a 10 year relationship, I feel I owe him the chance to get his shit back together.
     
    All I seemed to get was "for worst", I want the "for better" part.

    are you leaving as a threat for him to get his act together? or really content in leaving and the marriage is over??  just curious...I was in your boat...  cept I gave my husband chance after chance after chance...each time he fooled me in to thinking that this time he would change.... eventually, I decided enough was enough, I took the biggest step I had taken so far and asked him to leave, all his stuff with him and he placed the key in my hand, he said he would prove it this time and I like you gave him 30 days, and he was the best husband you could imagine, but this time round, as he handed me the key, my heart quit...  our marriage ended right then and nothing he could have done or said could have changed my mind.

    Good luck with it, I hope this gives him the shake up he needs if thats what you want from this...  but be careful how many chances you give him.. ((((((((hugs)))))))   luv destiny xxxx

    Destiny: This is the last chance. If he doesn't pull his act together it's over. Truthfully I'm not holding my breath. I've given him too many chances already. It would be nice if this gives him the kick he needs, but I'm gonna be happy on my own if he doesn't.

    its a tough ride...but no way near as tough as living in a bad marriage, I really hope everything works out for you :-) xx

    I admire you for leaving!
     
     I'm in a bad marriage myself, therefore I'm not qualified to give advice, but just want you to know, that you should not give him 30 days. You just completed step one, you left, step two, start fresh.
     
    Wishing you the best!

My dear 2008 and a man. :>

Looking back on what made 2008 memorable/forgettable.

Happy Holidays to ALL! :>...
So, if you remember from my previous post, Clark was a bit of a jackass. Or, that's how it remains in my memory. I got a surprise text from him last night, asking me if I was going to hit up a certain bar....
Dear Void?...
I don't know if I "believe" in New Year's resolutions in general. But given that all this drama has been occurring the concepts presents an opportunity to reevaluate and assess the way I react to situations. I have always been very sarcastic...
Very satisfying that after memorializing my New Year's resolution on this thing yesterday I put the ideas to use. Went with J to his dad's house and had good interactions with his siblings. R (who's moving back home into the room that he an...
