After 27years of marriage to a Covert Narcissist (only recently realised), I’ve finally taken steps to divorce my husband.
I didn’t realise I was being controlled. I just thought he loved me and was looking out for me. I haven’t told him yet and have decided to tell him the start of next month.
Luckily, I’ve been seeing a therapist for depression and she is being very supportive but I can’t help feeling really guilty, as life has been running smoothly and I keep doubting myself. I keep remembering all the good times and how much I loved him and he keeps talking about plans for the future.
I have a solicitor, whom I’m meeting with next week.
I’m trying to stay strong and know it’s now or never. Just dreading telling him and hurting him. The divorce is financially complicated and can already imagine the backlash that’s coming my way.
I’d like to thank those who commented on my original post, as those comments made my blood run cold but started my journey researching my situation and my husband’s quietly controlling behaviour.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me, they would be very much appreciated?
