    I should have known..I should have left long time ago

    Where do I start. I have been married since 1991. 2 kids 15 and 10. even when we first got married my husband always was partying with neighbor and never home. even when I was pregnant. I tried leaving several times , packed the kids up and was going to go to my sisiters. NEVER did I always turned around. My husband since than has always been on the computer 24/7. Back in 1998 I left him to go back to Mass. we were living in NM. He never forgave me. When I came back after 3 months he started shoving and hitting me..I never called the police but tried to get his parents to help but that was no good!

    Eventually one night he was talking to women on the computer and I got mad and thats when he really hurt me. I have been locked out etc..He even ripped the phone off the wall. I called from a pay phone and the police arrested him. Well we went to court, and when I was leaving he was so sad and said how much he loved me and wanted me back. I took him back.

    Now lets forward to NOW: For the last few months I KNEW something was up. My daughter and I heard him say "HONEY" to someone on the computer. Than a few times I would find a washcloth under his computer desk,,You figure it out.

    How could I be so BLIND???? Last night I went to check on my ebay and I noticed he left his mail open... Well I found it! Love emails between him and some lady. They play world of warcraft together.

    I confronted him and he blames it all on me!!!!
    This man when I was pregnant with my daughter would not even get out of bed to take me to the ER because I was having terrible pains. (he had hurt his eye earlier that day at work. ) So I was left taking care of it my self.

    When our family drove out to NM to live from MASS. I got lost driving and when he woke up he called me A DUMB F.....*****.


    There are so many other storys I could tell. I am all alone out here and don't know what to do now. He says he stays on the computer because of me. I say my kids are just as negelected by him so how can it be me???

    He plays mind games with me to make me feel like NOTHING. I have not worked in a long time and supporting my family without him will be so hard.... I told him last night to leave but he is scaring me with all the things he says. He has never spent time with either of the kids ever...I can't go in my bedroom at night until he comes and gets me. Thats because he is done playing on the computer. Even in the past when I was sick and asked to go to bed he would yell and say Gee can't I listen to my music and so on.

    God forbid if I let the dogs out before I make his coffee. He will say I care more about them.
    I have been told hundreds of times since I don't work he does NOT have to help me in any way.

    After I had my daughter he made it clear he WOULD NOT GET up any night to help with her since he worked.

    My husband has gone thru ssooooooo many jobs. We have been on unemployment at times. Since 1998 I sell at the flea market every sat. and do really good BUT he doesn't consider that a job at all

    His hygeine is bad too! smokes like crazy.. My daughters doctor told me to tell him the smoke was bad for my kids and to smoke outside..He sure didn't

    I very sad today..What am I going to do??? I am SCARED.

    Wow,, now I see how how other women are! they will steal your man...without even meeting them!!! Boy is she in for a nasty suprise thinking he is her prince charming...Good for them they deserve each other

    Cautionary Tale


    As you know, your mistake started with the relationship.
    There are no choices;

    Sure, you had chances...
    but you always went back...
    why?

    all he has to do is look sad and you'll forgive him
    and the reason is very simple...

    You have become a non-person.

    You don't exist anymore.
    You have, like most battered women, ceased
    to be a person, and have become an appendage...
    like the tail on a dog.

    Your life has become slavery in which your 'victories'
    are so minor and trival, you couldn't even put them
    into words.

    You and the children mean no more to him then
    were you a bunch of raccoons he let stay in
    the barn.

    Right now you have nothing.
    Not even self respect.
    You have nothing so you have nothing to lose.

    Pack up the children and leave.
    And never contact him again.

    If he beats you, you won't be able to carry
    it through and see him go to jail.

    Going to jail would be the best thing for your
    kids, but like many battered wives, the kids
    are just frills.

    the effect on your daughter of this man has
    probably left deep psychological scars. She
    will probably grow up believing that how her
    father treats you is normal and find a man just
    like him, because battered wives tend to reproduce
    themselves.

    For the sake of your children leave him for good.
    Do not tell him where you are or that you are
    going.

        Sounds like we have a lot in common. Everything you just said about your husband, reminds me of mine. He even plays that stupid WarCraft game too. Anyway mine just walked out on me tonight after 9 years of marriage. We have a 2 year old daughter. I feel so lost.

          Your husband was never there.
          A body was there.
          Your imagination was there.
          But he wasn't.

          That he's gone physically only
          makes truth...
          for he wasn't there.

          You'll be fine.

          Just go on with your life. You don't
          need a man like that. You need a man
          who is there for you.

          Yeah, I can get wrapped up in on line games
          but I do have a life...

            Plse read my new post today. Its an update on my husband. I know I am not alone but,,,dealing with all this is really HARD and just to keep my composure and be able to sleep at night is really hard. Will another man want me? Do I still look good at 46? I find myself looking at married couples and saying "boy I am STILL SUPPOSE TO BE HAPPY FOREVER" To have to start over at 46 seems really hard for me to grip. But I know I cannot stay with a man who never really cared or gave me back what I gave him. So hard right now. I am crying again.. Bye
