Staying married may have long-term benefits. You can elicit much more sympathy from friends over a bad marriage than you ever can from a good divorce. - P. J. O'Rourke

  • Crazychef Guilt is so powerful, it can seem like regret. This is my biggest problem right now. It's 2.5 months since I left and right now I practically hate myself for the pain I'm causing him. He is also venting anger at me. His last couple of texts have been pretty horrendous to read; not abusive, just painful. I don't know how I'll cope with the guilt. I left because I didn't love him enough, not because he did anything wrong. I miss the close friendship that we had, our jokes and silliness. I miss things being easy. I miss having a home to call my own. I'm still living all over the place, out of a bag. We haven't started divorce proceedings yet and I'm too scared to mention it, because he's so hurt already. If I think about being back there though, or having to have sex with him, I am reminded that I've done the right thing. But it doesn't stop the pain. And I am not entitled to feel any pain or loss because I caused this. 6 years ago   *   1 replies
    • Horridwife Oh boy, I can totally relate (again.) I haven't left yet but we're in therapy and he knows I want to leave. I can relate to the mean messages...he's sending some good ones to me too. I guess I want to know how you are doing otherwise almost three months out? Are you happy you left? Do you still feel the same way? I am sure it is a really hard time, and I think you are always entitled to your own emotions. Of course it's painful! You were together for 12 years! I hope you are able to grieve and also give yourself a break! At the end of the day, you have to be true to yourself or it will eat you alive and you won't live the best life you possibly can. And you deserve that. 6 years ago
