Good thread since it seems like a lot of new people on here.

My stbx is not in love with me anymore. I'm past her...I worked hard to get myself to where I am now. I'm no where close to what I want to be, but I know I'll get there. My biggest struggle is understanding that my girls will be ok through all this...that and the actual divorce proceedings.

I'm not a newbie, but here goes:

Met a guy, thought he was great, fell in love, decided to have a baby. Realized that I have a broken picker and that he is a self centered and cruel passive aggressive narcissist and I was miserable. Tried to leave several times in the past, only to get sucked back in, but have finally made the break now and am learning how to be a single parent.

My fourth and fifth sentences - although over the limit are: Have filed for custody and support. Waiting for him to be served and the proverbial sh*t to hit the fan.

As our old friend Z says "Ta da!"

Kind of new.

I finally left him. Filed, he was served last week. We've been together 15 years, married 9. I'm leaving him and his abusive behaviors. I have a strong support system at home, but afraid to say to much to them. I'm an emotional WRECK and have to be strong, so I don't get sucked back in.

I'm 5 1/2 months new...so, here goes....

On Christmas Eve last year, my ex asked me to marry him and I said yes and we started planning our wedding. Then my ex spent too much time with his dad and his dad didn't like me for some reason so then me and my ex were fighting all the time. It finally got to the point that my ex was disrespecting me too much so I told him I had enough and it was over even though I really didn't want it to be over but I couldn't take his disrespect anymore.

As for Rman....he is totally the light of this board...even when he's being a mean smoking baby its really not out of true meanness...he makes me smile and laugh and I'm glad he's still here....so, for the newbies...please don't be scared off by his non sense....he is actually pretty supportive when support is needed :)

Rman - You're welcome!!
Exercise is good for the body & soul

Can I post a story other than my own?

I'm still trying to figure out how I was rude in this thread.

20 years ago I had a beautiful daughter out of wedlock (gasp!). 10 years later, I forgave her father for abandoning us both and married him. I thought it was a happy ending up until the day I found out it wasn't.

It sucks to be me.

Rman is always polite and ultra-appropriate.

Why thank you.

Hi there :)
Im a newly seperated mom to 4, my stbx and I have been married 17 years, so this is quite rough, old habits are definatly harder to break. Im hoping to find some support, share some stories and somehow get through all of this :)

He is in rehab for his drinking, wants nothing more than to get me back, but the damage is done. I hope he has success, but my trust w/him is gone, and the abuse is still fresh in my head.

hi all,

My ex fiancee left me because I couldn't give her what she wanted. Her needs weren't unreasonable, I just wasn't there for her. Now I'm trying to fix myself up, so that I have what it takes to be with someone someday.

Spent 10 yrs with a lying, cheating, alcoholic, pothead, porn addict. He put my house in foreclosure, fucked a 21 yr old, lied about me to our co-workers, several of whom he wanted to fuck.....Finally figured it out and left.

Ain't life just grand....

My name is Mick,
MySTBX (of 20 years) slut fucked my enemies and my friends alike.
How do you like me so far?

I'm not new but I wanna play ...

My ex cheated, said he stopped, then cheated some more, then said he stopped again ... he did this 6 times. I finally realized we could make it without his sorry ass & divorced him. Our sons & I got through it alive; it's bad sometimes, but good more than bad.

Hi Rman :)
