For those who have left their partner/husband, was there a specific moment when you knew or was leaving thought about for awhile?

I'm miserable in my marriage. My husband completely did a 180 after we got married and his mom passed away. He's constantly projecting. Like this morning, I got up early and went grocery shopping in the snow storm. Went down every aisle, spent $200 and was told I basically got nothing and somehow that led to us never having actual family dinners in attempts to make me feel not good enough I guess. At least I see it as projection and not personal but it's super disheartening

that's just one example of daily occurrences. He constantly projects and picks at me for a reaction. SO childish

Kinda both. It’s taken a lot of mental growth for me to realize I can’t fix my kids dad or keep making excuses for him. I was probably about three months pregnant when I finally realized he will never change. I’m 30 weeks now. Unfortunately, it took me like six years of my life to realize I shouldn’t be with this person. At least I got my babies out of it though Im sorry you’re going through this 💟

He hit my son. He had already hit me, let’s not even talk about where my sense of worth was in my 20s… but MY SON?! It was over. There was no conversation, just planning. Whatever I was willing to tolerate, my children did not sign up for that life.

Someone told me that when it’s time, you will absolutely KNOW! There will be no second guessing it! It sounds like you’re going through a rough patch but only you can decide when enough is enough💯 Marriages are said to go through rough patches.. it’s not going to be all sunshine and rainbows. Has he sought grievance counseling after losing his mother? He may be taking it harder than you know. Not saying that to justify his behavior. I expect that you’ve given him grace thus far because he’s not a bad person. He’s not cheating.. he’s not abusive.. just because things aren’t the best doesn’t mean you have to just leave. Counseling and communication can get you far. But like I already said, only you know when enough is enough💯

How long ago did his mom pass?
