karen,

If you posted about the specifics of the end of your marriage, I didn't catch it. I am sorry to hear that happened. Had he chipped away at you until there was nothing left to feel? Did you get angry afterward?

I haven't told anyone IRL about the this latest indignity. I am thinking about talking to clergy or my uncle. He and my aunt have been married 46 years and I respect his opinion. He and my aunt have been through a paternal mother who disrespects marriage (my grandmother has said that a son should regard his mother in higher esteem than his wife) a PA, a maternal alcoholic father and schizophrenic mother and all the other normal bumps that take place between married people. This is a meandering way of saying that their marriage was strong enough to have weathered many difficult situations and today is vibrant. Maybe clergy, because the clergy can be objective. They have nothing to gain or lose by expressing an opinion one way or the other. Maybe I just want validation to leave.

Yep, that's where I am. I am not being p!ssy to him at home, just taking a strong stand against him being a bully when the need arises. If anything, I'm being very civil.
