      I fully understand what you are going through with self worth. I am in the same position and it really hurts. I guess as we build our self confidence that they took from us, self worth will come.

      From boyd52 Tuesday

      OMG, THANKS! The last category about the confrontation avoiding mate (I don't recall the exact terms they used) described him to a tee. This is SO sad. I can't share the details right now because he was monitoring email recently... went to "fix" that today, hope I did, but not sure. But the salient point is ..... he is unbalanced and because of that he has trashed his entire damn LIFE. He doesn't realize it... he acts like a selfish petulant teenager..... horrible to see that in someone you love. The atmosphere of your description of your spouses troubles was SO familiar. My husband was so kind, loving decent, generous., intelligent, honest, admirable.... I would have given a kidney for him..... what I am forced to deal with now..... I would cross the street to avoid him. He has destroyed his reputation and his prospects. I DO continue to grieve for him and my marriage, but he has gone SO far that I know he will never make it back. All the positives are in the past now....... I will never trust him again. Ghod I WISH I had a printer (he took it) for then I would print what you sent and mail it to his mail drop. i wish he would WAKE UP for his own sake, but I could never take him back. You and I have SO much in common.... this is SO sad my friend.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      10 months ago my husband announced he wanted a divorce. He moved out and refuses to go to counseling. He says he has moved on. I hate those words. I am devastated.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      He absolutely refused to go.
      Forgiveness Not Working
      Too abstract of a concept for me right now.
      Leave Not Working
      What's the point? Whereever I go, the pain follows.
      Pets Somewhat Helpful
      I lmy animals but they cannot take the place of my husband.
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      It's been over 10 months since my husband announced he wanted a divorce and moved out. I've been in therapy ever since. I don't seem to be getting better but maybe I'd be worse off without the therapy.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      Very helpful in the beginning but people are getting tired of listening to me but I still need to talk.
      Talking Working / Worked
      usually helps. Sometimes I just get tired of talking about the same thing. I wish it would just go away.
      Time Not Working
      It's been over ten months and there are times that I still feel as bad as the first day. The anxiety and worry will not go away.
    • Close Family & Friends of Bipolar

      My husband announced 10 months ago that he wanted a divorce. He has moved out. Since then, I have found out that he is very probably bipolar. It explains a lot of things, the rages, etc. If I had known then, I would have responded differently to his actions. I do not want a divorce and am hoping he is just in one of his hypomanic stages.

    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      My husband asked for a divorce and moved out 4 months ago. I have since found out that he is BP II. Didn't know this when we were together - thought he was being treated for depression. I am devastated. He refuses to go to counseling. This is so different from the man I married. People tell me that once he gets out of this hypomanic stage, he'll probably not want the divorce. So I'm waiting...

    • Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I have been told that my soon to be ex-husband sounds like an emotional abuser. He was my first serious relationship so did not have anything to compare it to. I do know that he made me feel terrible quite a bit of the time. The ironic thing is that he was the one who wanted the divorce.
