[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP who kept suggesting scripts I would use, but I take it back. Your husband is being a total ahole and you know it. It’s possible that if he realizes he could lose his marriage over it, he would shape up, but he probably won’t. [b]You need to decide if you’re willing to live like this for the next 5-10-15 years[/b], and if you’re not you need to take steps to change your life. If he won’t listen or go to counseling, get yourself to therapy and make plans for what a single life would look like. I know your budget is tight, but you can’t let your kids grow up like this. Especially if he’s turning it on them. [/quote]

OP, my friend felt like this - she was miserable but figured she'd stick it out until the kids were 18 because they couldn't afford to get divorced. Well, guess what, this year HE decided he was done and moved out and now she's going through a divorce but since she was blindsided he hid money and is being difficult about everything. If she had planned her escape this wouldn't have happened. Don't think things will be the same for the next 5-10-15 years - next year he could tell you he's spent all your savings and he's leaving you. It doesn't sound like this is a marriage worth staying in, so you need to get your ducks in a row to protect yourself. [/quote]
