Ouch. I don't blame you. Mine: 2 weeks before tuition was due, he came 🏠 & said "I've opened my own checking acct, transferred my paycheck, & I'm not supporting you going to college. You're on your own." This was after we agreed to me working & going to college. Then when I graduated, I would support him going to college. He completely pulled the rug out from under me. It did not stop me. I took out student loans and used my GI Bill to pay for college. I asked for a divorce graduation weekend.

Now that I am older I’m am astonished by how much crap I was handling for my husband. I feel duped by society to be a compliant work horse. I am so happy to see posts like this so young women can have a better life. 🥰

God this is so relatable. Currently in couples therapy because of this. It’s been a slow burn for over a decade, but since my parents both died 2 years ago, I just started putting myself first because life is too short to feel like I’m walking on eggshells to make him happy.

My marriage literally started falling apart after one Christmas, not my favorite holiday, everyone in my family was opening gifts and no one even noticed that I didn't have one

My husband spiraled when I decentered him and centered myself. Things got worse and we separated because I refused to keep the cycle going. Then he realized he didn't want to lose me. So now, he lives in an apartment and I live in the house and I'm the main character in my own life again and I love it.

I just adore listening to you. I’m 65 and I just de centered my husband without knowing I was doing it. We made it to the other side♥️i now have my own beautiful room where I sleep by myself and keep clean. I have my own bank account and we were both retired but I needed to get away from him and his daily stuff so I took a full time job in retail. I

my unemployed ex told me that I needed to get a 2nd job to cover monthly expenses. 😳

my watershed moment...husband told me I didn't do enough for him and my mind snapped. I went quiet then said I do everything for you, then I listed the cooking, cleaning, shopping, and all the other ways that I tried daily to pave his road. I also pointed out that he thinks that I'm "supposed" to do those things so he didn't view them as effort. no more

after I decided on divorce, I was separating paperwork and came across old letters from my Grandma. every single time she mentioned my husband it was to say "I hope he is happy". It reminded me that I had tried a million different ways to make him happy, and it was never enough 💔

My ex told me I did NOTHING for him. I was stunned, in disbelief. All the things I did meant nothing to him. All that effort and care was NOTHING.

What you're describing, is the reason I left a boyfriend that everyone in my life adored. He was an incredibly kind and loving person... but he had mood swings and it was my job to help him solve them.

This is one of my biggest triggers. I actually submitted my story to you today and this is a big part of my struggles currently. 💙

How did your marriage come back from that? For me, the resentment was too much. I couldn’t forgive him, even when he started to make changes.

I’ve called this the moving goalpost of satisfaction - it’s unattainable, unrealistic, and exhausting.

This story is so relatable omg. My breaking point moment was also during when my mother in law came to visit and stay with us. It’s like the straw that broke the camels back.

My husband drinks every weekend until he passes out. If he doesn’t work he’ll drink himself to stupor. I’ve put up with it for years, until a few weeks ago. When we were arguing he basically said “why are even married?. That broke me and that was my “aha moment”

The very last time we hosted his family I ordered pizza and did not clean anything. 🫠😬. Honestly it was a great holiday for me. That was 3 years ago. He never asked me to host again 😬

On a side note, have you considered narrating audiobooks? You have a lovely voice. I wish you could narrate the list of books I have on my Hoopla

I just did the total clean before, cooked the food, served the food and cleaned up after. It was my birthday ‘party’.

I had a 29 yr marriage with my late husband. He kept saying that he wasn’t happy. I went to therapy in 2020 and knew that he was responsible for his happiness. I centered myself and it healed me! I am now remarried and I will continue to focus on me.

I felt this. I’ve had similar events in all relationship forms (familiar, friendship, romantic) and why I’ve recentered my life around me. Still a part of the village just better boundaries 😊

Jenny Butler :
One of the ways that I’ve centered myself is that we don’t have people over to our house. Not only is it a lot of work but I have a hard time with other people in my home and I’ve always just tolerated it

One of my biggest regrets is making Christmas holidays for my husband’s family when I was 9 days postpartum, including buying them gifts and arranging all the food 😡 it radicalized me

I’m so impressed that you acknowledged the issue in the moment, decided to make a change and then made the change. Well done 👏🏻

My moment was when I got called for jury duty and I was so excited that that I existed for something else, other than serving my family.
