At end of tether with being so grown up

[lemuelgulliver]

I've been posting on here about my marriage breakdown with my emotionally abusive husband. I've just endured a fortnight of him calling me very horrible names and completely stonewalling me. We have kids, so I'm working extremely hard to keep their lives normal around his behaviour, as well as doing all the housework and my job. I've been getting my stuff lined up to leave and it is taking me some months.

But tonight I really feel fed up. I won't do this, but I feel like chucking all his stuff out of the window in bin bags and then going out for the night to shag the hot guy from work who has clearly got a crush on me (and who I have avoided in matronly, responsible manor). Just a feeling.

Not sure what the point of this post is. Just to vent, really.

Sounds good to me, bit like popping a pimple that you're supposed to be leaving alone.

Exactly. I think it would be like that.

I was hoping to amass a few comments telling me of course I shouldn't do this.

All the best op, and hope you do what's best for you.

How old are your kids? I think it sounds like a good idea!

How much do you need the job?

Because I shagged the hot guy from work after my marriage broke down and it was AWESOME. I mean, not a long-term relationship, but AWESOME. It was a throw away job though.

It’s a shame really that we can’t have an “alternative reality” for a couple of days then get back to real life without consequences. I really want to tell you to chuck the asshole ex’s stuff on the pavement then go have hot sex with your colleague but unfortunately it may not be the best long term plan. In the meantime could you do something nice for yourself to cheer yourself up?

Don’t do the bin bags - as it’ll only escalate in front of the kids.
Do do the hot office guy. Why not - escapism always helps. Marriage is over anyway and you are getting ready to make it official. I think the vowels were broken long time ago already.
Just be discrete so the whole office doesn’t gossip.

Good luck!!!

Ha thanks everyone, these responses made me smile
