Was thinking the same thing. Guess she just can't see the forest for the trees?

Good Luck, and keep looking towards a brighter future. PS- Stay strong as his abuse is likely to show itself in divorce negotiations (let your atty handle things).

Thanks

Can't afford an atty so I did my own paperwork this morning (available from my state's webpage) and basically gave him everything. He can keep it all. I just want out. So even if he hires an atty there isn't anything to fight. He wins. And I even put the good ol' irreconciliable differences lol so i didn't even bother with fault.

As far as my financial concerns, it says on there I make 0 and he makes like 5000 a month...and that I have quite a bit of debt now thanks to this marriage so maybe ill get lucky and get a small settlement if the judge sees that but right now I don't care I'm just sick of struggling and barely surviving emotionally everyday.

When my marriage ended, I got out with nothing. No, that's not right, I got out with my life - my new life. A new life that has turned into something I never believed was possible: I've never been happier or more content - not even as a child.

Good luck to you. Being on your own is scary but shortly you will find it to be exactly what you need.

Purple Pumpkin,
I want to say GOOD FOR YOU! You have made the right decision. You may be scared right now because you don't know where your the road is taking you, but it is going to be 1000 times better than staying with your abusive husband. I'm so very happy to hear you have made it out and are on to a better life, one that you can live with in peace and not being hurt anymore.

I don't know how that works in your state as we can't do anything without an attorney here. I would made a list of all the debt you have, to whom owed and dollar amounts, so that if you get to go in front of a judge or need to submit further paperwork you can ask that it be paid so you're debt free at least.

you have walked downa road you can't go back on. If you go to the husband he will not let the thoughts go of you being with th e bf. and you won't with those he ahs been with... Don't think you are the only one getting the bread buttered.

You made your decision months ago now grow some kahunas and make it permanent.

otherwise stop wasting the BF's time.
