My brief story? An adult lifetime of picking the wrong men and a high school sweetheart that should have remained just that - a high school thing.
If you read some of the older posts here on emotional maniupulation and emotional abuse, they describe my marriage to my STBX very well. When we separated he originally took responsibility then quickly denied all that and now tells everyone I had an affair. I no longer care what he thinks, I just want the divorce over and done with so I can have the last bit of closure. The divorce has been bitter and nasty and has dragged on for well over a year now. I think by the time it is all over, it will feel pretty anti-climatic, but I will still be relieved.
As for now, well...only time will tell how things are going to go, but I am trying very hard to keep my head on straight, make the right choices, and not fall into any of my old self-destructive habits or patterns. I'm not always successful, but I am always trying. I'm heartbroken over a recent rejection, but hopefully I will be able to move on and get over the sting of that pain pretty soon.
Luckily, I've got my two wonderful kiddos and they help motivate me and get me through the hard times.

Alphie,
I hear you on the high school sweetheart thing...same for me.
Re: Tell your brief story here tripny2k6: Mine? Met the girl of my dreams, had a wonderful relationship together with normal issues. Worked as hard as possible to be the man she wanted me to be. Still not enough, she prefers to live a life that her mommy and daddy lay out for her and remains unhappy. Dumb biatch.

Re: Tell your brief story here atlgirl777: We started dating in 1998, married in 2000.
Well our marriage started failing when I became pregnant.........which I thought we both wanted, but he became distand and wouldn't even sleep in the same room as me. I had a very hard pregnancy and delivered our son by emergency c-section. Five days later I had full blown congestive heartfailure and almost died. When my son was 6 months old had to have a hystorectomy. I went through a lot in that year and instead of being there for me he withdrew more and more. I tried everything read books listened to books on cd, begged him to do the same and he never would. He came up with this "Magic Plan" that would fix our marriage. He wanted to dabble into 3somes and such, he became addicted to porn. I became very bitter....and he emotionally beat everything that I was as a person out of me. I was desperate to save our marriage and tried everything to the best of my ability. When I told him I wouldn't do the things he wanted anymore..........he withdrew again....the next month is when the afair started, however I did not find out about the affair until the week our divorce was final when he took her (my socalled bestfriend at the time) to Cancun which was suppose to be a trip for us, we had been married 5 years and that's where we went on our honeymoom. I had always wanted to go back. I ask him to do counseling we attended one session and he called me at work the next day say it was no use and ask me to move out. I did.......and here I am.
