Re: Please help me

Thank you for your response. It is so nice to be able to just speak to others who are in somewhat similar relationships, it is so comforting.

Re: Please help me

I feel your pain and am hurt a lot by my husband. I think he is a narcissist. It’s normal to feel so much anxiety. I would be at work and out of nowhere I get a doomed feeling. It is the worst. Seeing a therapist will help a lot but also just getting comfortable to be by yourself and just crying it out

Re: Please help me

I was in your position once too. In my situation, he was the one that wanted counseling and I didn't, but I gave in eventually. The therapist was the one who opened my eyes and said divorce was the only option. I reflect back on my feelings of being terrified when I left him. It was absolutely the hardest thing, and I was a zombie for a little while. A little lost zombie. But as cheesy as it sounds, take it a day at a time. That was my little mantra that got me through it all. I've been divorced for 5 years now as of this month, and I've never been happier with who I am now. You've got this. We are stronger than we realize.

Re: Please help me

I am so sorry to hear what you are going through and can relate to being scared of the unknown and being alone. I was with my husband for a long time (dating-wise) before we got married and he's really all I've known. Honestly, good for you for discussing your feelings with him, that can take courage, so good on you. I am just sorry to hear he wasn't willing to work on things. I am going to just make an assumption that he might not be just fine too, and putting up a front. That's what my husband did and he's the one who initiated the divorce. But later, he's started admitting to how hard it's been on him too. I hope you truly find your happiness, everyone deserves it!
