[Tiny Filter] The tipping point

[fancycwabs]

It hasn't happened yet, but I'm reasonably certain that in an hour or so I'll get a text message telling me that my wife won't be coming home tonight. If I get one at all.

If that happens, tomorrow I will take steps to file for divorce.

EDIT: As predicted, my wife didn't come home last night. I've talked to a coworker who's wife is a divorce lawyer, and I'll have a consultation with her either after work today or sometime this weekend.

I deserve better than the treatment that I've been getting, and I refuse to accept any more of it. She'll be able to stay out as late as she wants, and drink and smoke weed all she wants, and spend every penny of her own money on whatever indulgence she craves. But I'm not gonna sit at home and wait for her while she does it anymore.

Dammit. I hate seeing people (her) be stupid.

Take care of yourself.

*hug*

Thanks. As usual, I'll keep folks appraised here, on the tiny filter.

You ABSOLUTELY deserve better, and I'm proud of you. It's a wrenching, awful decision, and it takes so much courage to make it.

I'm glad to see you taking care of yourself. No matter what, you will be okay.

Have just read edit, and agree with everything you said. I'm glad you're taking a stand. *support*

I agree. Sad that it had to come to this, but it's time to start taking steps. Stay strong and keep your head up; because you DO deserve better.

What he said. Too bad it's come to this, but she really didn't leave you any other choice. I think you're absolutely doing the right thing here. Good luck.

Certainly sorry it came to this, but very glad that weight is lifted from your shoulders. No more pacing in consternation, forward movement ahoy.

I agree with the others. Nobody has the right to fuck you around like she is.
