BND, I am financially tangled up with my H and I have waved bye-bye to my pretty self while I was sincerely, DBing. He has kept me engaged for lots of reasons, including insurance.

I am 60 {but youngish, just like CHER!} but fricken mad to be caught out like this...

H has cold heartedly kept me near for lots of reasons. Some of them are warm, some of them are incredibly self serving...and I have cooperated with them.

Like MWG, I struggle along with family problems and no great education. I have a good job, considering my credentials... Like MWG, I totally love my H and only want him to love me back.
He sometimes does!!!

The alcohol component is seriously, familiar...

My H moved out in 2001, and I believe I am the longest and dumbest DB-er...
