Walk Away

Quote From: white8

i recently divorced my second husband after 10 years of hell.  7 of them living with him off and on, 3 trying to get rid of him.  Which I finally managed to do May 27,2005 at 1:14pm officially.  

2 of those last 3 years I've been seeing someone and I think I want out.  No, I do its just hard to explain.  Let me try.... He is almost a carbon copy of my ex.  We fight almost non-stop and I'm just tired.  Ive waited the entire time for him to grow up.  He's 31, Im 47.  He's insecure and immature, and jealous.  He breaks up with me every other day and he's been caught in numerous lies.  He knows about my past relationships and the difficulty I have had in them from being abused to cheated on.  He keeps me though by dangling money in front of me.   

I know I don't love him and sometimes he gets so possesive it scares me.  He buys me things, gives me money and has recently moved here to be with me.  My kids dont like him, so he's not allowed at the house.  I will not allow another man to ever treat me like my ex, but yet i let this one cross way to many lines.  If I lose him it will be upsetting because I will miss him but why?  I mostly know what needs to be done and I think all I need is support for when I do it.  Are there any online groups or a someone that could help me through?  Any advice from anyone male or female would be greatly appreciated.  thanks. 

You have already stated that you know what you want to do - get out of the relationship.  You don't like him, your kids don't like him, he's not allowed in your house and he is very possesive.  These are all very strong signs that this is a relationship that must be ended.  

 

You'll miss him because he has been a part of your life for 2 years and you have created memories and a bond with him.  However, this doesn't mean that you should stay. Don't let him make you feel guilty or obligated or afraid and stay with him because of this.  It says something about him that the only way he thinks you'll stay is if he tempts you with money.   

 

You will have support here and the support of your children when you end it.  I'm sure if you do an on-line search that you will be able to find a local support group as well.  Best of luck.

Its absolutely necessary that some one tell us women when is the time to quit.I have a boyfriend i've been seeing off and on for the past 4 years as he's always away and couldn't find time to be with me continuously.He is always controlling me and if i ever bring up the topic of marriage then he makes me feel as if i'm desperate.The truth is that he doesn't seem to want to marry me while wouldn't want me to marry anyone else either.I love him but i'm tired of putting up with his manipulative behaviour for so long thts its stressing me.I don't know what to do.
