3/3/05 - Divorce Day rcmorrison: Well my husband decided to go through with a divorce after only 2 months of marriage. He's 52yrs old and had been married twice before I came into the picture.
I'm 35yrs old and this was my 2nd marriage, but now it's my final relationship with men. No more dating.
We've known each other for nearly 7yrs, and what started out as a great friendship has ended badly. We dated for 1yr (2003), then broke up to wrap up unfinished business we had from our previous marriages. During our time apart, he decided that he needed time to think about our relationship, so I move forward with my life.
It took him 9 months to decide to marry me and when he did, he became demanding and wanted me to sacrifice my goals and dreams to relocate from the Southwest to the Midwest.
I gave up a great paying job, a beautiful home, my pet, and my family to be his wife and the marriage didn't even last 2 months.
He doesn't acknowledge the sacrifices made by me and feels that I was not the woman he once knew...that I changed to someone who had been abused.
The truth is during our time apart, I got involved with someone that beat me and I couldn't do anything about it. This abuse went on for nearly 3 months until someone, a dear friend, intervened and I'm glad they did.
After that was over, I continued with my life and that is when my husband came back into the picture. He wanted to reconcile and come back into my life, but he never knew about the abuse until after we were married.
In his letter to my attorney, he states that I misled him and his son and that was grounds for divorce.
I was devastated because he was using my past as a way of ending this marriage and that was not fair to me.
I feel that in time, he'll realize the mistake that is being made by his own doing and I hope that we could reunite and be as before...a loving couple.
