Hi I'm new to this website and have never been part of a support group. I'm possibly about to go through a divorce from an 11.5 year marriage where I've been isolated and alone. we are going to see a counselor but ever since I've asked him to leave (which he refuses) I've felt more alone than ever before. anyone else ever go through this?

Hi and welcome! You will find lots of nice people here with helpful advice and support for you.
Do you mean alone and isolated by him in your marriage, as in no outside friends or family? That he didn't want you having outside connections with anyone in your life?

Both. I have my family nearby but rarely see them and its hard because I'm really close with my mom. I also feel alone and isolated in our marriage. we've definitely been living separate lives but together it seems.

He gets upset when I'm on my phone either talking, texting or reaching out on social media. a lot of my family is spread out all over the US so we stay in touch via FB or Instagram. if I leave even to go to the store he gets upset and says I don't want to be around the kids.

Welcome sweetie. Most of us here are in the same position as you or even worst. I think getting a divorce is the best thing you can do. I could say stay and fight for your marriage but is to risky for you maybe loosing more time on this bad marriage. Me personally I am fighting 5 years now without any positive sign . Actually I can say that every day is worst and worst. So don’t loose any time and think about your self first. A lot of hugs

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...
