Hi, I am new to this site and to the situation that I am in. My husband asked me for a divorce 2 months ago. I have been married for 17 years. My understanding is that you are also entitled to half of his social security when he begins to receive it. You are entitled to this until you remarry. Good luck.

Hi Pat...does your husband suffer from extremely high blood pressure?

Is there an underlying medical/mental issue here?

Sometimes if there is a medical issue, they won't or can't talk ...

Try visiting the women's centre and go for some help...get away from the house and from him.

I'm not sure if divorce is the answer...but keep building your support.
