He lost the right to gain my pity (or call himself my child's dad) the day he tried to force me off the road with my daughter in the car. <br /><br />My anger is what liberated me from the relationship in the first place, and unless you know the entire saga (which you don't) you can keep your judgment regarding MY feelings to yourself.

I pray you have the opportunity. I don't believe you need the strength or that bravery is necessary. So many women for generations have done what is necessary and been terrified every step of the way. When the need is great the spirit will do what is necessary to survive or protect others. I still grieve the loss of my first marriage and wish I had eyes open to see what I was getting myself into. However, I am who I am because of everything I've been through. The strength came after the fact, not before. I lost everything and it made realise how little you need. I've started again, learned to trust again, married again and now have a child.

I've put up with many things I said I never would. And I too am a smart, well educated, professional woman. So when he has his verbal rages? Put up with it. When he emptied my savings account of 10K? Put up with it. And on and on and on. <br /><br />Why? Like the other poster, the realization that marriage is a legal contract. That divorcing should and will be the last option. That to be divorced means a whole other set of problems and issues with custody, visitation and legal wrangling.<br /><br />So. If you has asked me a decade ago if I would ever marry a man who I would slowly come to feel...ambivilent... about? I would have laughed in your face. Not me. Never me. I was smarter than that. I was getting married forever. I was never thinking about divorce. I had it all worked out. <br /><br />And yet, here I am. Biding my time. Waiting until it either gets unliveable, or better.

It's toxic. My ex & I had a son. I refer to him as my son's dad. Beyond that, I don't give him a 2nd thought. I don't gloat over my success and his lack of, because I know he would resent it and probably start focusing on me again as the reason why his life is a failure.<br /><br />He no longer has the power to hurt me, make me fearful (just cautious), or make me angry. Just accept that you previously married a man unworthy of you and that his mistreatment is just a sign of who he is and doesn't reflect on you one bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29562711.post-57138938669045298652006-09-14T15:32:00.000-04:002006-09-14T15:32:00.000-04:00Dear 3.34, 3.47 & 3.51,
I always thought I would ...Dear 3.34, 3.47 & 3.51,<br /><br />I always thought I would never stand for being out down or abused in anyway, me? no way! I'm educated, empowered and take no shit from anyone. <br /><br />Where am I? In a destructive relationship that has gone from bad to worse over the past 7 years. <br /><br />Why do I stay? Because I hope that it will improve, because I like to remember the people we were, the kind thoughtful people, not the people we are now, vicious, mean, point scoring assholes. <br /><br />How did I let it get like this? I don't know, it crept up on me, the put downs the criticisms, the disrespectful judgements, small chips from my confidence over time, too small to notice one by one but combined, a powerful erosion of my self esteem. <br /><br />I am a strong woman, I've woken up to the situation, we're going for counselling, if it doesn't work, the relationship will end. <br /><br />I can't speak for the other women who have posted confessions, but I certainly never dreamed that I would be here, I thought women who put up with crap from their partners were weak and needed to get some backbone, I didn't realize that they were just trying to get through each day with some semblance of normality, that the dramatic emotional apology really does work as a sedative, it does give you hope, especially when you desperately want to believe it. <br /><br />My partner doesn't hit me, he uses words and silent punishments, sometimes I wish he would just lash out, then I would know for sure that it was over, it would be the final straw. <br /><br />Living in limbo hoping that it will get better, that you will find each other again is torture. <br /><br />To my sisters out there who suffer physical abuse, my heart goes out to you, I wish you the strength to walk away because that situation is not going to get better, ever.<br /><br />For myself I wish and hope that we will reconnect and find a way to redress the anger and resentment, to start loving and caring for each other again. To be honest I don't think it will happen, so I plan, I cry and I ache, to think that my son will be separated from the Daddy he loves so much and vice versa. <br /><br />To think that I will struggle to survive as a single parent, that my life is a mess, that it's over, all that we worked for, all that we have will be gone, fought over and distributed, the home we both love given a monetary value and sold. <br /><br />The dog, I know it seems stupid but I gave him the dog for his birthday, she will stay with him and I will grieve her loss, the cats are mine, they come with me. <br /><br />The logistics of breaking up give me panic attacks, I have a full time job and a college education, if I were uneducated and/or unskilled I dread to think what my options would be, at least I can count on a monetary settlement from selling our house and belongings to start up again, if we didn't have anything how could I survive? If I had more than 1 child how would I juggle daycare, schools, work, schedules? <br /><br />My soul hurts for my sisters in dire situations with no escape, I hope I have shed some light on that for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29562711.post-9872252638582997532006-09-14T12:55:00.000-04:002006-09-14T12:55:00.000-04:00Speaking as a man who doesn't particularly like bl...Speaking as a man who doesn't particularly like blow jobs, I can say that for me they don't feel very good. Doesn't matter who is doing it, it just doesn't work for me. It's not a 'being in control' issue either, as I'm perfectly happy to not be in control. Now if my wife really *wants* to do it, I certainly won't say no.
