I do respect that fact that she said she waited mainly because of her daughter.


Fair warning - this is what my WAH probably said. He only made it to the middle of our youngest son's senior year in high school though (seriously??? He couldn't have waited another 5 months?). And now he's putting his happiness ahead of everyone else's - that means leaving ME to deal with all the problems our young adult children have (and they have many) while he enjoys his "new" life with his child bride. He's waltzing around pretending he's 30 while our kids all come to me with their serious problems because they know their narcissistic father cannot be counted on for emotional support.

Now, I could be wrong - she could just be a long-suffering wife of some terrible guy who stuck it out for her kid - BUT - I'd sure be on the lookout for red flags.


It's pretty much what my XH said too. I believe his exact words were "I'm tired of always eating $h!t sandwiches so that everyone else can have steak." Then he proceeded to pack his crap and move 1600 miles away from the only home he'd ever known (he'd lived in the same city for his entire life prior to running off with his skank) and disconnect from all his friends and family. Then wanted to whine to me later about how hard it was. F you and the horse you rode in on, dude!

I'd be very leery of anyone who uses that putting everyone else's happiness before theirs line regardless of what her tatas look like.
