Why I want to go to this place  — 1 year ago

Henry’s mom’s 70th birthday is this year. So, we are going to go to NYC in May. I can’t wait. This might mean I won’t be able to do my Atlanta/Scottsboro trip in April, nor my Miami trip in May.

My husband’s happiness is far more important. He hasn’t seen most of his family for about 8 yrs and it’s negatively impacting him.

When

I wrote that it was at the end of February before all hell broke loose. I didn’t realize my husband was in an adulterous affair, doesn’t want to change, and I could say a lot of things here, but won’t.

I found that out 3 days after our 7th anniversary on Easter Sunday. On my birthday, March 13th, he was very mean to me. A few days prior to that, he told me some very mean things about how he felt about me.

So, I did not go to Atlanta and AL in April as planned, nor did I celebrate my 7th anniversary with him as he took off for the weekend with the other woman (unbeknownst to me as I thought he just took off).

Today he has finally moved out, as I asked him 5-6 weeks ago to go. He’s just been sponging off me.

OMG!

I am so sorry Doris! I didn’t know this. I feel foolish for asking if you went. But from reading a few of your comments on here and seeing your beautiful pics I can tell you are a strong woman. I know exactly how you feel because I went through the same thing as you did about 5 years ago. I think I was “lucky” that I didn’t have children. Which is kind of ironic..because he left because I couldn’t have kids. It too is a long story and the bottom line is for me that not being able to have children ‘saved’ me from a loveless marriage. Of course I would love to have children, but I know I am not able to have my own. Hey..here I am blabbing on about me when it is you I wanted to comfort and console.

Stupid question…but are you ok? Anytime you need to vent just email me. I am a good listener (reader). You need loving people around you. remember..that he is the one who has the problem not you! I wish you peace in your heart.

Maybe you’ll have a little liquidity left now that he’s not sponging off all the moisture.

Seems like he and Dr Deadbeat left almost simultaneously….

Good for you, Doris!

Timing

The timing of you talking with me, sharing about stuff, and him failing to be here and choosing the other woman over his own flesh in blood in her time of need set me over the edge.

I was ready to bring in the church guns if he didn’t get out of here.

Thanks, Todd.

I hope you dont take him back unless he comes back with some serious “green” and a plan to get back with the family finances.

And, casting away the little philly on the side as well.

How Are Things Now?

Oh dear, I cheered your very positive February entry before getting down to June. I hope that things are well with you now. My parents just went through a divorce (another woman as well), and I would never wish that on anyone else.

Of course, if you’ve never been to NYC, I would still highly recommend that you go and treat yourself to all the best it has to offer – you deserve it! :)

Better

Things are better. The kids and I never went to NYC, but we would like to someday. His mom loves me, the kids very much and thinks her son is a total jerk, a**hole for what he’s done.

My ex took his girlfriend to meet his whole family to NYC. What an idiot. He’s not even on the lease of his apartment because his credit is so bad. He’s not talking to his mom because his mom was rude to his girlfriend, not considering her feelings.

His mom stood up for me and said I had feelings when he brought his stupid girlfriend to my home. She said until his girlfriend apologizes to me for her stupidity for this, she (my ex’s mom) will not apologize to her.

He’s so messed up. Anyway, as you can tell from this post, I’m not totally over the whole thing. It’ll take awhile.

Our marriage was dissolved at the end of Jun’08, a little more than a year after he abandoned us. Life has been a huge challenge, but we take one day at a time.

Thank you for your kind words.

Bless you,
Doris
