So sad...

Quote From: 2lostnlife

As of yesterday, August 1, I filed for Divorce. My husband and I have been married for almost three years and together for four years.

For the past year, I feel that my husband has marked me out of his life. We no longer talk, we no longer share anything together. He works six days a week from early to late every day. If I have something I want to talk to him about I have to call him on his cell. Then he tells me he can't remember anything I said because he was busy. (Driving a Truck) I see nothing between us anymore. For the past 7 months I have been fighting to keep us together. We have a 22 month old baby boy that means the world to me. It is hard to listen to him ask for his Daddy when his Daddy is never around. We sometimes try to spend Sundays together, but we always end up in an argument.

At the first of June I left my husband. Me and my child stayed with my mom and dad. Every so often my husband would come to see us. But never once did he ask us to come home. He says "I left on my own then i can come home on my own!" that to me is just so cruel.

Well after being at my mother's for a month and a half. My husband's little boy from previous marriage was coming to visit. I didn't want him to know that we were fighting so I went home to tend the house hold. But nothing had changed. He was still so mean. His words have stuck with me and replay everyday. The harsh words he says about his unhappiness. (I am the reason) I can never forgive him for the way he has treated me. Like I am just a roommate. Like I am the 4th or 5th thing in life. (money #1, Our Son #2, Work #3, and so on.) Where am I? He loves to play mind games with me. It has driven me crazy. He has truly pushed me away. Any advise to help me deal with a divorce is very much appriciated. What comes next?

He does not know yet. I am scared the day he finds out. In the past he told me he would contest the divorce just so he won't get screwed... Please help...

I suggest you let your family in on what's going on, if you haven't already.  I also suggest that you ask them if you can come stay with them if you HAVE to.

 

If you are planning to remain in the home while you divorce, it may be tough but it can be done.

 

If your partner can not include you WITH your son as his #1 priority, then you are better off putting your self as your priority.

 

I suggest you get a plan for the day he DOES find out, because normally when you "file" for divorce, he will get served with those papers and then he WILL know.

 

Better to have a plan NOW and prepare than get surprised and have to scramble.
