When did you know it was time for a divorce?

Question

Really struggling with the idea of divorce recently. I’m the only one putting in effort to save our relationship and my husband is in his own little world thinking I’m the one who needs to go to therapy all alone because apparently I’m the problem😭 if you’ve going through a divorce what pushed you to finally leave? We have a 1 year old child

Answer

When he stopped being excited to see me after work. When he went out every night of the week. When I realized he'd never stick up for me/defend in front of his family, no matter how they treated me. When he just didn't come home one night and I was up all night worried and he acted like it was no big deal. When he started messaging other women he'd met while being out from the tablet we shared (nothing super nefarious, but I also knew his flirting style soooo). When he said he was going to his dad's boat for the weekend (his birthday weekend, even) and then a girl posted pictures of the two of them in New Hampshire on Facebook instead.
I wish I had seen the signs earlier. He was not nice to me. He acted like he "owned" me because we were engaged/married. He was controlling (with money, with my time) and I didn't realize it in the moment. Later, my friends even confirmed that they'd seen it, too.
I'm not sure if it's time for you yet, and it's okay if it's not. But please know it's not the end of the world if it is! Things do get better. As I am typing this my lovely boyfriend is sleeping next to me, nestled way too close to my body for comfort, and snoring so, so loudly. And I wouldn't trade him for anything. I only wish the very best for you.
