I posted here a couple of years ago when I was worried my marriage was falling apart. The advice I got here changed my life. It helped me see more clearly and take my therapy more seriously ... but I’m not quite there yet!
My STBEXH, who I’m still living with, is a nice person in many ways. We are obviously both flawed, as everyone is & I’m not perfect but his very short fuse has been a repeated issue. It upsets and triggers me. I look back on almost twenty years and Ask why I didn’t leave sooner. I never had children with him and I’ve missed out on a lot.
Anyhow, here I am still living with him. Half the time I wonder if it’s in my head but when I write in my diary, I realise how out-of-the-blue his rages can me. I had to block my ears the other day and repeatedly say ‘please stop.’
I’m not sure what I’m asking - I suppose I could just do with some support. I finally know I’m doing the right thing by leaving but I’m stuck here for now. I can’t believe I have put up with this for so long but he honestly is a good man in many ways, which is so confusing.
