I don't know about anyone else on here, but it seems like I am seeing more and more of these type of stories, MLC spouses who just mentally and verbally abuse the LBS to no end. I also read post after post of people saying "don;t take it personnaly" "They aren't well" and so on and so forth. In saying this, I am not putting anyone down for giving that advice, but I have to ask; How much is enough? I cannot see any benefit in standing by letting someone treat you this way. I can say this from experience, for a year I took every kind of abuse from my XW, let her talk to me like a dog, say some of the meanest, cruelest, hurtful things that you can imagine. I decided a few weeks ago that I had spoken my last words to her ever after I took off to let her get the remainder of her things out of the house and she called me and cussed me out. Since then she has tried to call me several times and email me as well. She will talk forever into silence when it comes to me. For me the answer is simple, don't take the abuse, let her be mean to someone else. Life is too damn short to let someone be mean to you. Trust me, there are MUCH better people out there!
