6 month marriage

Hdidit · 05/12/2025 04:08

Married 6months before seeing the lies and realising he was a total toxic partner. He’s moved on to lovebomb someone else now, not before trying to win me back. He disgusts me. He makes me feel like I didn’t try hard enough but in reality he scared me with his moods. I had to call the police about him once and the was because of how he made me feel (scared). He says it was drink that did it and he’s a nice guy. He’s made me feel like a failure who deserves to be single. Is he right? Should I have tried to make the marriage work.

No. It sounds like a blessing that it’s over

No, be grateful that by the sound of thoughts you didn’t have kids with this waster and you can have a clean break, even if it costs a bit get out and move on.

That sounds awful I’m sorry you are experiencing this.

Being scared should be never be part of any relationship. You deserve to be safe, well and loved so don’t compromise these.

do you have people irl who can listen and help you?
it might feel awkward and embarrassing now but that will fade quickly.

put yourself first.

I'm sorry that must have been such a shock but well done forget not putting up with it, you've absolutely done the right thing

Another "No, get out and stay out". If it helps, mine showed me what a wife meant to him on the wedding day; I should've followed the instinct yelling at me to leave during our reception.

You will be similarly grateful yours didn't waste time before revealing himself. I'm sorry this has happened to you, but happen it does! Wishing you a reasonably smooth transition back to blessed singledom.

Well done for getting out quickly and not living in a dream that things would get better. You made the right decision.

Get out. No one should experience this level of abuse. You are so much better than this. When you meet someone it is an amazing feeling and you only get to know them over time and that is when you see the bad stuff (if there is bad stuff). There is a new Year just around the corner, new year new start and move on.

Cut your losses, leave now before you get any further into this mess.

When you're out and settled again, ask yourself how you got into the mess and make some changes in your methods of assessing men.
