@abbyeckel: The good guy presenting husband is often the hardest for women to leave because they don’t feel like they’ve endured anything worth leaving over. #marriage #divorce #marriedlife
I’m a therapist and I’ve had women tell me “I just wish he’d hit or cheat on me so I’d feel justified in leaving him.”

I called my divorce death by 1000 paper cuts. He’s a good guy. He’s a good dad, but he does not operate in life in the capacity that I can tolerate living with.

The bare minimum husband who only looks good bc so many husbands don’t even do the bare minimum.

I divorced this type of guy and everyone was confused when I told them I wanted out. Thank you for validating the choice to divorce a "good guy".

As a therapist I call this performative competency. They do just enough to tick a box but they never fully finish the job so you don’t ever get relief or feel safe, you are always on but also feel guilty asking them to do more. For example they will do the dishes but leave the sink full of food.

It's like being a C student. Not the worst but, striving towards mediocrity

It’s easy to appear to be the good guy when everything is done for you.

I heard someone say “ you’ve taken the mother role so when you want to leave you feel like you are neglecting your child”

*can't remember important dates
*no flowers
*no dates unless I coordinate and plan
*no vacation unless I do that too
*no time to talk bc he has work buddies/boss calling for something
works mon thru sometimes sundays, not that I'm complaining about that one but no time for us. after almost 9 years married nothing has changed. like I love him but tired

Feel this in my soul. When I say I need help he says “just tell me what to do” and that’s the issue. I’m tired of managing everything
