    Thanks for the responses. Its been over 5 months and although the divorce proceedings still bring me down my life is going on. Money is as tight as when I was in college, but thanks to family I am doing fine. And I have started meeting women again... wonderful people... and wondering how I got suckered into marrying my stbx. But she wasn't the monster she became when I met her... she just became that 1 day at a time over 6 years. I am not perfect, but she has some astounding issues; makes me just shake my head.

    I guess I was afraid of being alone, or failing in a relationship. Time has passed some now, and I understand that this was not a good relationship, and she would have driven me crazy or killed me.



    I still miss what we had. It sucks being alone in a quiet house that used to be crowded and noisy. But I'm doing things with friends and keeping busy. Each day is a baby step. I know some days will be steps backwards, too.



    I am my own person. I did everything to make her happy and she wasn't, and she never made me happy, and I wasn't. Time to make a new future.

    Congratulations Charlie; you are healing from abuse...NOT wanting her sexually was something that she couldn't "put on herself" ; she had to BLAME YOU for her inability to maintain a decent relationship with you. Sounds like you and your daughter are doing well...GOOD FOR YOU!!! I am so happy to hear a "happy" story here...

    Wahay!



    Change the door locks, put burglar-proof shutters over the down-stair windows. Brief your daughter again on the protocols about not answering the door to strangers, never mind letting them in.



    It's two days beyond Independence Day but don't let that stop you celebrating.



    P.S. Buy those dinky little foam earplugs for you and your daughter when she comes knocking on the door at 3.00 am in another drunken stupor. The cops will sort her out, although the neighbours might not love you. If they complain just play ignorant; noise, what noise?

    If you could run away with the kids and not leave a forwarding address, now that would be awesome.

    I was afraid of divorce. Now I'm more afraid she will come back. I think I'm getting somewhere...

    Call a divorce lawyer.



    50% chance that she cheated on you and what you endured is the chaos of an evil person wrestling with morality.



    100% that she does not love you.



    99% that she never really loved you ever from the start.





    Take your own chances!

    Jurisdiction dependent, you could be holding a real good hand here.



    Get yourself off to a lawyer pronto, and stitch this up as quick as you can.



    Tread your own path.
