Towards the end of our brief marriage it seemed as if I became her #1 enemy. She’d have tens of people over at our place a few times a week, and she would seem so happy, elated, almost screaming with joy (sometimes literally), but the moment she looked at me her facial expression would change to that of disgust. She screamed at me so much that I’d leave the house for 2-3 hours and just walk around the block listening to podcasts. For her friends though, she was perfect. I remember the feeling of fear that I experienced when she’d walk into the room. Family therapy was just her crying and scre ..read more

So about a month ago I 30F found out my husband 29M of 4 years had been talking to another girl 18F, a waitress that he had met at a restaurant he would frequent. They had been talking for approximately 3 months when I found out, he would visit her at the restaurant and buy her coffee and even sent her money once for her to buy herself coffee. When I found out about the text they had stopped talking for about a week, they were flirty texts but every time he would ask her out she seemed uninterested and make up excuses of why she wouldn’t be able to, so I know nothing physical had happened bet ..read more

Married for 25.5 years together 28. It hurts so bad to know it was all fake. Apparently I was the only one in love the whole time. She says she never loved me and I wasted her life. I feel so alone and all the emotional abuse and insults keep running through my head. I have never felt pain like this. I tried my best to save the marriage. My soul is broken. submitted by /u/CapnBarbeNoire [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm just curious - for those with older kids / teens, how quickly did you move out after telling them? Our kids have to move out with me because stbxh job is crazy hours and he can't get them to school. Did you rent and move fast or give kids time to cope? The logistics of divorce/separation suck ? submitted by /u/GeminisGarden [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I AM A FUCKING CHILD. Worried to wake up on the weekend because ANYTHING could go wrong with my parents, I have to live in fear everyday worrying about my parents arguing but today. April 17, 2024 could be the last straw, my parents had a fight and I’m just gonna save you all the drama, it was gritty and now my mom is thinking about calling a divorce lawyer. And it hurts, I feel like a therapist for my mom rather than a kid. I hate it but I love my mom and my dad, but sometimes I wish to just run away. I often look forward to my future so I can cut them out of my life but at the same time I l ..read more

I decided to separate from my husband last year. I was set on divorce and after him saying he’d make the changes that had caused so much distance in our relationship, I agreed to a separation. I didn’t expect anything and in my mind still had every intention for it to be over but figured it didn’t hurt to do this one last effort. He meant well over the years but was a very selfish partner - never helped out with the day to day, didn’t ask about my life but constantly talked about every detail of his, didn’t care to know my family/friends and overall was always focused on himself. I didn’t see ..read more

I'm almost 2 months into my separation. After 7 years of marriage my wife decided that, while I'm a good husband and father, she got married too young and wants a different life. She left and got an apartment 2 hours away. It's horrible. I hate it. I especially hate it for our young children because I have them during the week and then they travel hours to be with their mom on the weekends. I've cried, I've grieved, and I've been learning to cope. Part of the process has been realizing just how unhappy she was. She honestly has made divorce comments in the past. But she wasn't participating m ..read more
