I have officially dropped the rope.

Our anniversary was Thursday. He told me today he is not coming home and never intended to. I am done. His exact words when I asked him why: "I don't want any responsibilities right now". Wow.

I am going to make an appointment with an attorney this week to see what my options are: my H convinced me to quit my job and go back to school right before he left. I am an unemployed single parent and completely dependent on him for money. I want to find out from the attorney if he would be obligated to pay support for me- he has been paying without much complaining at all, but I need to know my options.

I don't want to file, but if it's the best thing to protect myself and the best thing financially, then I will.

I'm okay emotionally- I most certainly cried after he left. But right now I am mostly embarrassed. This is my second marriage. How could I have agreed to marry someone who would do this to another human being? Was I just meant to be alone?


Me: 39
H: 45
Second marriage for both
