I totally get this. I am definitely better off without him. Too much drinking, anger issues, lazy, financially way beyond irresponsible. But, I miss talking to him, laughing with him. I’m trying to stop the texting because he either gets angry or tells me he loves me and it’s just not healthy. I feel like I could be friends but it’s not really realistic.

I feel that way too. I feel so lonely. I've been out of the marriage since Jan. 5th. And he is so cruel. We had been married 30 years. I feel like a fool for having put up with so much garbage over the years but there were good times too, and I felt like I had a home and a family. Now I'm living in a barn while he's in my beautiful house, won't sell, and I have to take him to court. Where did my husband go and who is this monster who has taken his place?
