That you think this is about cooking just shows how little you understand the situation.

Nope. PP is right. If OP would work on her issues she wouldn't have been ridiculed

It's hot as hell outside , i wish I could send you a nice bottle of champagne lol. You did something that most women are too cowardly to do; see shit for what it is as opposed to what you wish it were.
Bravo!

Agreed.

Funny how so many posters, are so threatened by her self confidence. What a bunch of cry babies.

That's sad. Why can't you leave now?

Because I am a martyr determined to sacrifice my happiness to the alter of mommyhood while teaching my children that marriage is a brutal, unfulfilling, joyless test to be endured until finally the truth can be revealed.

"Happy graduation, DC! Your entire life has been a lie! Enjoy the series of failed, tense and unhappy relationships we trained you to expect!"

This made me laugh (albeit in a sick way)! This is my family story, although I'd like to edit the altar or mommyhood to the altar or career hood, which was made possible by my father's salary, which allowed for copious domestic help. If my mom left, we might come with her and she'd actually have to raise us! So stick it out, they did.

Yes, victims should always do more so that abusers don't treat them like shit.

What difference does it make?

This posting has a lot of pages already. Just wanted to support the OP. She did the right thing. My first marriage ended with an epiphany as well. I went to the wedding of my then husband's best friend. Afterwards my husband told me the friend's new wife was "A DOG" !! I was totally blown away. This woman was a nice young woman and not unattractive in any way. They are still married 35 years later. I had had enough. I made my secret plans and moved out 12 weeks later. That comment was the final straw. That man is still friends with my first husband and he doesn't know what was said.

Insulting my cooking was not a stand alone incident but just the final act of disrespect that I am going to subject myself too. Anyway its in the past and I don't want to rehash it.

I did talk to my ex on the phone on Wednesday night and told him our marriage was over and I was not coming back. I did not tell him I had filed for divorce and he was being served the next day. I did not want him to dodge the process server. I really want to get the process started. I am sure I will get flamed for that.

My ex is convinced that I am having an affair and that I am leaving him for another man. That is not the case. For the record I have never cheated on my ex. He kept asking why why why and I told him to go down memory lane and think about all the arguments we have had read the emails I have sent him and he will have his answer. I told him I was done arguing and fighting. I am just done.

Our only joint asset is a house that we put a very hefty down payment on so the house does have some equity in it. If he agrees to give me the quick divorce that I seek I will happily walk away with nothing. He can have the house and all the equity.

I have not spoken to him since he was served with divorce papers. I honestly have nothing left to say to him and the lawyers can handle it now.

I do plan to seek counseling and I am not going to date anyone for 1 year minimum. I am going to get to know myself again. This is a fresh start for me and for the first time in a really long time I am happy.

Good for you OP.

Me too! Good luck, OP! Go out there and find happiness. You're young enough, plus no kids, unlike some of the crazy, trapped people here!
