I'm an entitled spoilt bitch

Last week we got married

Today is my birthday. My husband bought (and wrapped) for me, a bag of morisons popcorn.

Only. You need to draw a line under today I think and get to bed.
Then I think you really need to think about what you would like to do - to stay (because you love your DH and he loves you) or to work towards leaving (you feel you cannot be happy with this man).

Forget what friends and family think. This is about YOU. It doesn't matter if they think he is a mixture of Jesus and the Dalai Lama. What matters is what YOU think about him.

I left my ex, when the thought of staying was worse than the thought of leaving. That was after 23 years of marriage. The one thing I regret in my life is not telling anyone how utterly miserable and lonely I was, for not getting advice/help and for wasting the best years of my life with someone who was just not worth it.

I left with £750 to my name and ended up homeless. I am in council accommodation and don't have much money but I have peace of mind and have never been happier. I wish someone would have told me I could leave, despite not having the means to earn much (or anything.)

The birthday 'gift' might have been the catalyst for you to make some important changes. Or you might choose to forget about how you feel and move on. It's up to you.

MN can give you the support you need if you do decide to leave. I think the posters saying they feel sorry for the DH in this. I really have no idea why.
