Am I kidding myself?

Hi Leanne

yes he does. Think that is why he says he's gonna leave so often so that he doesn't have to see me so upset! I've seen his credit report today and there is nothing on there that he hasn't told me. I'm just gonna put the financial steps in place to protect us. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. But I can always bite the bullet and end the marriage if he can't change. How are things for you now?

Hi Katiecola,

I think that is definitely a good thing to do and it will definitely help to protect you both. Maybe give him a deadline and say if things don't change within 3 months, that is the end. I know it's easy for me to say as I wasn't married to my partner but the issue is still the same. Well it's been a week since I broke up with my partner and today I am really struggling to deal with things. I am still in contact with him and his mum but I feel as though she is trying to manipulate the situation and get me to change my mind so she doesn't have to deal with him. She has always stuck her nose in and caused drama between us. I miss my partner terribly but the lying was just too much to handle. I still care a lot about him but if I go back to him, my family have already threatened that they would have to question our relationship.

Hi Leanne

I think you have done the hardest thing by making the break. Stay strong and try to ignore his mother! Your family only want you to be happy and they obviously think you have made the right decision. Hang on in there.

Thank you Katiecola, I know deep down I have made the right decision, but I always feel like I failed him in the sense that I couldn't help him stop 🙁
