Hello, I am 53yrs old married for 29ys. I purposely stayed because of the kids, the youngest turned 21yrs in May. My birthday was early June, I decided no more, I needed a change by my birthday, I was not going to have another day or decade living this way. So I had a discussion with my spouse letting him know things have to change, I need to have a voice and not walk on eggshells.
Well as usually the conversation turned to him being the victim, him crying and me apologizing. Like what just happened?!?!
Anyway, I was not falling for it and by that Friday I told him I was leaving, I left for 2 wks, then he said he started to go for therapy and was ashamed. Well, I came back mostly cause i can’t afford housing on my own, but was hoping to see a humbling change. Found out he only went to one session, smh! I am focusing on Getting a second job so I can support myself and I already have a lawyer on standby.
So grateful to find this group, he is well loved by many and has had many leadership rolls in our church. It’s so hard to explain to others who never lived it.
