Quick question for all of you out there. Have you ever been at a point where you have just had enough??? I realize that our spouses are ill and I also realize that I shouldn't believe anything they say whenever they spew their venom, however, let's reality check for a moment here...
For those of you with an OW/OM wrapped up in your MLC spouses life, put yourself in your spouses shoes for a moment. Although I realize it may be tough to say what I would do, but I myself have been through a depression and never once did it cross my mind to have an affair. Frankly, I didn't have the motivation for one either during a depression. It never once crossed my mind to leave behind all that I held precious at one time or another. It never once crossed my mind to not accept the help of a professional (as a matter of fact, I was dying for it). Although I know MLC and depression are two different beasts, there are glaring similarities as well.
My H promised that even through all of this, he would never leave me in a financial ruin. Well, that's exactly what has happened. Not yet, but he's working on it. I think I have no choice but to go ahead and file for a legal separation to protect myself and get the bills paid at the very least. I am certain the OW is behind all this pulling his strings like a puppet. Any thoughts on this one??? File or no??? I'm so confused on what to do!!! Getting more fired up by the minute!
