I Think My Husband Is a Total Jerk

@GJOFJ3 Thank you. It is a hard thing to deal with because you know that, to a certain extent, it's not their fault.

@Nomad definitely and there is no reasoning with it.

@Nomad Know what is worse? Sticking with someone or settling for years because of fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of starting over. I started over at 51. Do not waste your precious life, girl. If he is drowning you with him, get free. Maybe he will see that he has to change. Who knows? Dont destroy your life to stay with him.

@PoetryNEmotion It's so hard on the heart. But, I know you're right.

@Nomad Make sure you listen to your head, girl. A heart wants...but a head knows. Believe me...

@Nomad I'm really sorry to hear that. That's a very tough situation and unfortunately there's no easy answer but at the end of the day, ultimately you have to put yourself first and think about your own welfare and he clearly needs serious professional help.

@PoetryNEmotion Hahaha. I don't know why I enjoy engaging with Angry American so much but I really do. 😜😂✌👌👍😌💚💜💙💛💓💕💖❤💗💋

@PoetryNEmotion Amen to that... who let the dick out???

Bless your heart. Thank you. It is nice to know that I'm not alone. It can feel very lonely at times. Soul-crushing is a very accurate way to describe it.

It definitely feels lonely when you're in the midst of it, but you're not alone. If you ever need to chat, drop me a line!

@MissSimpleMind That's what I love about SW. Real people who live these hard lives and give valuable advice and feedback. Bravo for you knowing what you needed and deserved. And to a new happy life. I think it is on women to stop believing they have to suffer in unhappy marriages or long-term relationships because they have invested time. Time means nothing if one keeps suffering and is unhappy and suffering health problems including depression, and more serious maladies related to these relationships. It is time for women and for men to start thinking of themselves. Putting their welfare and happiness first. And stop wasting their lives and their time. Bravo.
