When should a wife just walk away and never look back?
I am married to a man 14 years older than me and we have been married almost ten years & I married him at age 20. Through the ten years he was very mean, cold, and aloof but I had my reasons for staying mainly because I had a sick child with him and no help or place to go. I never stopped trying to work on my marriage & I never cheated. As our ten year anniversary approaches I am seriously considering leaving now. Although, he isn’t as monstrous as he was, he is still not loving or affectionate but more so nicer than what he used to be.
I thought things had gotten so much better between us & that there was hope. I stuck with this man through everything from him just filing bankruptcy to him being diagnosed with high blood pressure. I have catered to him and fought off bill collectors & so much more! However tonight I discovered something very hurtful.
He began attacking me earlier in the day by saying I don’t clean the house and this and that. To make a long story short I figured out how to open his work phone that he locks and I checked his text messages just to find a woman saying good morning sunshine last night was great and this morning was OMG with a smiley icon next to it. He was home all night and this morning but he knew the person because the number was programmed into his phone under a business name WALMART. Then another woman wrote and said that she can’t let 2009 go by without telling him she luvs him and how much he means to her life. He did not even delete it so it must have meant something to him. After giving my all I think its time to say screw him and his finance’s, his blood pressure and his whorish ways. I want to finally live for my child and myself. I have never lived before and now I know how much I don’t mean to him: )
