Congratulation for the great website.

We just ended a relationship of 15 years. It has been a painful decision. I am alone with the dog. I can barely function, at times. I miss partner, but a relationship is, first of all, a compromise between two individuals. That was not happening. Probably, it has never happened, since we moved from abroad.

For partner, there was only: “my way or not way”. For many years, I was very accommodating, but two years ago I decided to change my approach. As a result, discussions became a daily routine on the top of other problems.

Thank you all.

Best.

Anytime someone gives me the "my way or the highway" attitude I'm GONE. I don't care who it is.

Getting free of this and finding yourself can be an awesome experience.

It's just me and my dogs too.

Though some days are not easy, I'm not making things worse by wasting my time with the wrong person. Or even worse, a damaging person.

There are a lot of good people to learn from here.

Wishing you the best in going forward with your life. I'm recently divorced and hanging out with my dogs also. But it's better than who I was with since she was very unforgiving, refused to communicate and wanted a divorce. Adios! I also chose to hit the road and start a new season of life. It's very rough, but I will be better off. One day, one step, one moment at a time. DivorceCare has helped me , and I'm committed to going weekly to their free group. Individual therapy is also helping me empty out all the junk and accept responsibility for dealing with only my stuff and growing healthier. Keep in touch.

Clear day is right. The minute I hear it's my way or the hwy I would be gone too.
It took 19 long months to get the divorce. A year before that to make the decision to leave. Six more years to get financially untangled from a vindictive ex.
I too live with my two dogs, four cats, and right now six horses on the farm I managed to keep. Life is good and I'm happy with the life I have. I wish that for everyone who has made that decision to leave.

I have no pets anymore, my ex was a my way or the
Highway kind of guy. The selfish, self centered kind
Of guy who could not see my side or even hear my
side and he wondered why i did not want to cuddle
Up to him anymore. I love divorce care.org, my therapist
And i thank alanon for no longer being a doormat.
HUGS

Thank you all for the kind words and support. Sharing my experience with all of you, it is very important to me. I am seeing a therapist and have contacted DivorceCare.com I am willing to do anything to bring my live together and become a better person. Most of all, learning how to truly and unconditionally love the good person I am. Something, I have neglected for a long-time.
