well... after the horrific and mindbendingly insane events of the last two days I’ve had enough.
So in the middle of a phone call he makes to me a work on Friday, for no rational reason whatsoever ( except that he was drunk ) he starts screaming and cursing at me ... the usual verbal abuse ( I had not said a word about the drunkenness and was purposefully keeping the conversation lighthearted ). I was bringing two friends home with me. He told me I was not to come home and he was locking all the doors and using the dead bolt so I couldn’t get in. Asswipe
yesterday he woke up in his punishing mood, the silent treatment, disrespectful in all ways. ENOUGH!
I sat down and told him I cannot live this way any more and since I will not live on a divorced woman’s divorce $$$ and im planning on retiring, I will not let his al oholism ruin my life. He is to move out of our bedroom if I even suspect he is drunk and that if he does not IMMEDIATELY change his fucked up attitude I will consider myself free from our marital contract. He is to leave me the fuck alone unless it is with respect I deserve.
This morning I joined a new yoga studio and I’m out the door in 5 minutes ( he is still sleeping)
i also am bringing along that deadbolt key to make myself a copy. So that threat becomes impotent.
good for you for standing up and speaking your mind, and putting a boundary in place. it's a shame that it has to be this way :( it's a shame that you cannot kick his ass to the curb. what they want is a comfortable place where they can get shitfaced and treat the only people on their side like crap. your life is yours now, and that's wonderful. i hope you can keep making steps forwards!
This is amazing! Happy for you! I wish so badly for every woman on this earth that is dealing with this kind of crap that they get peace of mind in any way that they can! Maybe it will make him wake up and see what he is losing. Wish you all the best dear! Hugs!
Thanks for the support girls....... this morning he got out of bed when MY alarm rang @ 5:00 am and turned on the coffee pot and even fed the dogs! He went out and got his own newspaper. And since I have a lingering ear/ sinus thing happening and feel like crap this morning he even offered to make me chicken soup for dinner. This behavior is closer to loving than I have seen in a long time but make no mistake ... it will be short lived, and I am well aware of this fact.
I told him I need to stop after work for batteries and two Santa hats for a project. He offered to get the batteries, so I said if he was getting batteries could he see if the drug stores also had the hats. He said ok, but then I was like, oh no! I don’t want to ask him do anything for me. Then I thought f*** him. Why cant he do me a favor? Trying hard to overcome crazy codependent thinking.
