Q: I Left My Hubby On Sunday.....i Am So Lost.
asked by: Rosie H on December 31st, 2007

Well, ladies I moved out of our apartment together. I packed all of my stuff in the back seat of my car and I left yesterday morning. I gave him a kiss on his shoudler and I didnt wake him up and I left. I am so sad and depressed. I miss him, I miss his smell. I miss his smile and I miss talking to him about everything and its only been a day.

This has been coming for a long time. I have become second in the relationship and that just isnt ok for me anymore. My last straw was when he got fired on thursday, now I have been supporting him since august due to an injury. Well he just got a new job and he got himself fired on purpose. He didnt like the work he was doing and I guess it didnt bother him that I am in debt because of him not working in the past. So that was my turning point. I realized that he would never care enough that he would never want what I wanted and so I moved away from him.

He is smoking pot all of the time. He hasnt been sober in 3 weeks. He brings drugs to our house when I ask him not to. He will not slow down. He smokes while driving, he doesnt respect me when I ask him to keep it away from me. He has told me : "I will get high when ever the f@!$ I want to, where and when I want to. I was willing to meet him halfway. I told him to just get high occasionally, or when he was out with his buddies I just didnt want drugs around all the time. He wasnt even willing to agree to that. He said he wants to get high all the time and that I am in the wrong because I was putting boundaries and rules on him. So I left.

We were fighting all of the time, nothing was enjoyable. I even started to use drugs with him so we could have something in common. And that is bad. I cannot let myself go down like that. We didnt agree on anything. This hurts so much, why couldnt he love me more? Why do the drugs mean more to him than us? That is the biggest pain, is that I am second to his friends and his fun.

Our problems started back in Sept. His friend Doug moved in with us. Things started to get really strained because Doug didnt work, he didnt clean, he was with us all the time. The only alone time we had was while we were having sex. So I talked to him and told him that I needed more of him and that we needed to be together alone sometimes and if he could tell Doug to take the car some days and leave us alone. That happened for a week, then the same things started again. now this whole time Daniel is not working and neither is Doug. I am supporting the entire household. They stay up all night and sleep all day. Daniel didnt even sleep in bed with me unless I asked him to. SO I made Doug leave. Things were great for awhile and then he started to smoke pot. Everything spiraled after that and that is what led me to leave. I beleive that Doug is the reason. Something made Daniel change and Doug is all I can think of

I am lost. I know I have done the right thing and I know that I will be ok. it just hurts

Sounds like you had plenty of reason to abandon this one way relationship.

life better.Been there-done that.
Good luck

Thanks for the replys. I hope we can make it work later, only if he changes. Once I am finished with seperating the bills and porperty I will just leave him be. Let him grow up. I will do my own thing, get my own place and finish school. If he wants the life that I want then he can find me. It will probably be too late. I know this sounds foolish, but right now that is the lie I am telling myself so I can get through. Deep down I feel like it wont happen. But I need something to hang on to for at least these first few weeks.

I think there is. I've been through a lot with other guys and here comes Jeremy (my now fiance) After the last guy i was with I never thought I'd find someone with all the qualities I need in a man and who'd have the up most respect for me and my feelings. Jeremy is just that person. Trust me Hun Mr. Right will come along. I make take a while because it took forever for me but he will come. Just take time to heal and spend time with your family and the people who support you and your decision.

In my opinion, he had this coming and you deserve so much better. Someone who will treat you right, love you over anything else, and work (in a job as well as relationship) to help build a life together.
You are a strong woman to have gone through that and left. I hope you can stay strong and stay away from him (unless he does a complete 180 and turns into someone who'll appreciate you and not the drugs).

i'm sorry that this is all going on for you. i hope you are able to find some stability and get all the bad things out of your life. you seem like a very strong person with what i have read about your previous posts and this relationship. you did try to make it work, but it takes two people to make a relationship. good luck. don't beat yourself up about any of this.

all of your words mean the world to me. It helps to know that there are all you people who care.

Its hard though and I am in so much pain. But I know that I have to save myself. No one will ever be able to do that for me. I have been at my bottom before on my own doing and I will be damned if someone else is going to take me down. So yeah I know I sound strong and hard but inside I am scared and shaking. I have been a nervous wreck and I cant sleep or eat. I am having panic attacks again.

But this is part of the healing process and time does heal. So for any other woman going through what I have been through : Stay strong and do whats right for you. Its the hardest choice you can make, but its the right thing.

A break up in a marriage or relationship, is like having a death in the family. We hurt & mourn, then, we pick ourselves up, wipe the dust off our arse and start our lives over.

Don't kick yourself for not doing it sooner, or leaving. You did the right thing, sometimes love can hurt us. This relationship, was the type to destroy. Don't think of what it could of been, think what it was. It was 1 way & you were his door mat. You did the right thing, time will show you that.

A New Year, a new chapter in life.

Amen to New Beginings! There must be some force working with me in all of this. What a perfect time to start my new life. School starts again in Jan, and I will be full time. So I wont have any time to do almost anything but study and work full time. I cant be going home to drugs and all of those problems, how would I ever handle anything?????

Honey you have made the right decision, I know that you love him. Since you've moved, hope that this will make it a wake up call for him. You're a good person since you let him and his friend stay there with you supporting them. All the best to you hun, take care and hapi new yr.

Not that it matters in the scheme of things, but you seem to think so low of people who smoke pot, yet you did it to "have something in common with him"? I smelled caca in that part of your post. But whatev.

Anyway, to me it just seems like he wasn't very responsible and you were two different people. Stop saying "If he changes....". He didn't when you were together, he won't now or in the future. Move on.

Jude-Love, wow you are harsh, but in a good way. Thanks for that. I have had a double standard with him. I admit it. I wasnt willing to admit it until he called me on my caca. If I do it its ok, but he cant without me. Its complicated. But the bottom line is that I want him to do all of these things, but I am not willing to do them myself. We have talked since I left and i have a lot of things that I need to work on with myself. Why am I expecting this from him when I cant give it myself. I have an appt to see a therapist next Friday and he asked if he could come along. So we will attend the counseling and get all of the elephants we have out in the open. This needs to happen for me and for him and for our relationship. If we grow seperately then thats ok, if we grow as a couple then that would be great.
