    About Me

    I left my husband after 30 years of doing my best. Our sons are grown and I am working toward a college degree. I love to write and am studying literature. Regardless of the fact that I was sure when I left, I am now in a state of confusion.

      I was seperated by my choice after 30 years of marriage. Unfortunately I went back to an even worse situation.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Working / Worked
      We started going together, now he quit saying no one can help him. She feels he has deep-rooted problems and needs to see someone higher up.
      Forgiveness Working / Worked
      I forgave him for many things, but he continues to do the worst. He can't forgive me for what I did.
      Leave Considering
      I left once and want to again. I'm too afraid of the consequences.
      Love Not Working
      How can you believe someone who hurts you loves you?
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      Classical calms me down.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      They're all very supportive, but they have their own lives to deal with and I feel like I'm bothering them.
      Talking Working / Worked
      He doesn't like to talk, and when it does it turns into an all-out battle targetted at me.
      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      It stopped my anxiety attacks and, amazingly, my fibroids from bleeding.
    • Close Infidelity

      I'm not sure what to say. I cheated twice because I guess I was looking for the intimacy I didn't get at home, not to mention that I wanted someone who treated me like a human being. I left my husband but came back. He wanted to forgive and forget but he feels I did worse to him than he ever did to me. However, I don't feel that it was worse than putting up with the mental abuse that led me to cheat. Sounds cliche, but it's the truth.

      He still reminds me constantly that he feels I am a woman of ill repute.
