You are one of the biggest reasons I cry. One of the only reasons.
Majority of my mental health I feel is caused because of you.
I try to talk to you, you don't listen, you always need to tell your side of the story bit refuse to listen to anyone else's.
When it comes to hurting me, and my feelings, it seems you care very little.
You say you're there for me, but you're not.
I've just lost a loved one and all you can do is scream at me. You are a wonderful, picturesque husband, aren't you? You could never do wrong.
Thank you for your lack of support. I have seen what you're really like, and I don't think you're going to get better.
It does for a little while.. Always for a little while.. And then you revert back to who you used to be.
Maybe this was the biggest, most beautiful mistake of our lives. At least we have a wonderful, amazing little girl to show for it.
I've more love for her than anyone else in the world.
I loved you like that too. And I used to be scared of losing you.. But I've grown quietly comfortable with the thought of you not being here.
I've grown comfortable without you around.. Because when you are around, I feel I'm constantly walking on shattered glass. Like anything I do.. Anything I say.. at any moment.. Could be taken the wrong way and cause another fight.
Because when you are around, I don't feel safe anymore.
Being in this relationship is taking its toll on me.. And I don't know how much longer I can take it..
I'm absolutely terrified..
I don't want to let go of what we have tried so hard to build..
But I don't know if I can cope with this anymore..
From who I used to be, to the shell of what I am now..
I can't handle you, and I don't want you to handle me.
I can save myself, but you, my dear..
You are long gone.

Well put, good luck
This tears at my heart strings in a huge way... It won't be easy in some ways, infact it will be the hardest decision to make. I moved out straight into my own home and struggled but there was a peace in making it on your own and I can promise you that it won't take long for you to see how amazing life can be and just how much of your life was taken up by stress/anxiety/worry. YOU deserve a calm, safe and peaceful life and I wish that for you so badly. I wish you all the luck in the world. There is an amazing you out there to find again and I hope you get her back.
Oh I know this. Trust in that comfort in his absence, it only grows when he's gone for good. Gets better & better... Every aspect. Don't waste too much more of yourself living this x
I could have written every word, it was only once I saw how little thought he gave to me after losing my mother and get angry at me for not coping that I realised he only cared about himself. Now happily divorced ?
