I hate my marriage.

[mckai777]

I'll refer you to the subject line.

 

[impressive]

If you truly hate it, either fix it or leave it.

 

[mckai777]

There's nothing I would like better. Unfortunately, I'm still financially dependent upon him. I'm severely bipolar and unable to hold a job. I've left him several times already.

I'm at my fucking wit's end, though.

Good luck.

There are always options. They might not be palatable ones, but they're there. It's just a matter of how badly you want change.

Exactly. Leaving a situation in which you feel hopeless is always hard. But I think we've all done it at one time or another. It takes strength of self and a little help from your friends.

my sympathies... it's all such a journey... uphill and down...

there are friends and support to be had, here...

 

[gottohaveit]

a mess

Don't stay..***** is short...you must move on. No one ever said this journey would be easy.

 

[impressive]

Don't stay..***** is short...

Too short. Way too short.

 

[rgraham666]

Been there, done that.

There's got to be some support systems out there, look for them. Anything is better than living with someone who makes you unhappy.

*HUGS*

I believe you are right here. I suppose I'm just steeling myself for the unpleasant task ahead.

Thanks, darling. Your kindness is very much appreciated.

Feel free to PM. If I can help you find supports, I will do so.

Not necessarily. Just saying.

First Update

Not long after I posted this thread, I packed my bags and went back to my parents' house. I haven't talked to my husband since early this afternoon, though he's called me repeatedly. I'm just so fucking scared that I won't be able to go through with this, though I desperately want to.

Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated at this point.

Great excuse - ever heard of being independent and of getting a job that you CAN handle?

Dunno about words of wisdom, but something that may add a bit of steel when needed: If you don't go through with it now, do you really want to wait until you're trying to provide for kids as well as yourself to get the nerve?

[rgraham666]

Good for Mckai.

And ignore the assholes berating you. Even spread on a farmer's field their opinions wouldn't be useful.

If this person KNOWS they are bi-polar, Starkkers? How much do you believe of it?

I may be an asshole, Rob, but I speak more truth than you ever do or will..

You've taken the first step. It's the hardest. Hang in there. (And please, don't mind Charley. I think she means well, but it's often difficult to tell through the abrasiveness.)

WOW some one with a Brain posting at LIT

hard to believe

Does it matter? What does it cost me to be nice? If she's genuine, it may help. If she's not, she may get a little entertainment from our responses (a la the average troll).

Thanks, Imp. I believe I've made the right decision, at least for the present.
