Thanks Mark. You are another guy that has proved my husband is a complete idiot. A lot of days, I wonder what is wrong with me, but I really think it has come down to his pride and he just isn't man enough to suck it up, so as of next Tuesday, I will officially be "single". Then, it's on to my new life.
Hopeless11, Nothing is wrong with you... you are perfect in every way (and it's our imperfections that make us even more perfect!). But I think we live in a time where people have skewed values (they don't always recognize what's valuable... i.e. history, a long friendship, a person who can always be counted on, memories, etc..). And selfish behavior is very acceptable and even encouraged. Perhaps we really are living is a progressively more "throwaway society." Where not only do we replace and throwaway possessions much more easily and more quickly, but relationships as well....
Just make sure, when you do go out there to your new life, you spend a lot of time working on yourself. Don't jump into any relationships quickly, take time... and when you do finally meet someone you want to take a chance with... make sure it's someone healthy, doesn't have too much baggage, and shares similar values.
You are very young. You have a lot of life ahead of you. Regardless of where the road leads, and the bumps in it, make it a great one...
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
