I agree...
Quote From: marianparoo...but I am so tired of women, who get into situations where they are left dependent in every way on men like this.
Sometimes I think one of the requirements for getting a marriage license should be some kind of a profession, so nobody is stuck in a marriage because they need the financial support.
And if someone's religion doesn't allow divorce, is there anything that prevents them from leaving a dangerous situation?
I totally agree with this. I was independent and completely self sufficient when
we first got together. I was on my own healing journey to well being,
independence, self esteem, and from the beginning, he began to unravel each and
every part of myself that defined who I was.
What mother doesn't want to stay
at home, even for a short time with their baby? Of course I did, but I had no
idea that this was part of the process. I thought he wanted to take care of me,
(I have always taken care of myself) so I thought to myself...why not?
In the beginning, I was stubborn, and I did not
give in without a fight, but the constant circle of lies and manipulations,
including turning others against me, (while maintaining the facade of a healthy
marriage and sexual relationship)made me believe that I was crazy, and I was the
one with the problem.
He told me that he was
raised that the husband should be the sole provider, and then I allowed him to put the blame on me when the finances went awry. I do not want to stay for
another moment, but I need to try and keep things cool, calm, fair, and
consistent for my daughter until I can do it on my own. I am an able
individual, so with God's help, it shouldn't take too long.
