36yrs of marriage down the drain

Finally my divorce is finalized
( I just took my things and left him without saying a word)
During the beginning of the divorce he was begging me to go back to him and I was ignoring him and gradually he gave up because I Was not responding to his texts
I decided to divorce after 36 yrs of marriage because he was controlling my life including my adults kids
We all had enough I should have listened to my kids way before when they told me (he is not right for me and disrespectful to me that is not the way a wife and the mother of your kids Can be treated )this is what my kids told me many times when he had an emotional affair about 10 yrs ago
They were begging me to divorce him ..I forgave him
I should had listened to my kids

I am of my late 50”s) and his is 64 Yrs old
It is hard And it hurts me too but I needed to do it because I know he had not changed and never did never will..(very stubborn person and he have anger issues)he used to say
(Either his way or the highway)

I was wondering how he is feeling now that he lost his whole family ???!!!!!!

(I just hope to God that he will not hurt himself because I heard for man is harder to handle divorce since it was a long marriage and he lost his kids too)


I have not talked or seen him for 1 yr And do not intend to

Re: 36yrs of marriage down the drain

so sorry that you are going through this. they never ever change really. they just pretend for a while until they find someone new who will listen to their sad story of how terrible the wife is. they are all the same. no matter what you do or how long you have been married. they don't care for you they only think of their self and how miss treated they were when they were with you. it their minds you were the problem not them they are perfect. let them go. i know it is hard. get out there and enjoy life and make yourself happy. do the thing that you always wanted to do. get out of your comfort zone. work on your self esteem and be the person you were meant to be. you only have one life. go make a wonderful happy life. God Bless.
