[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have many 'this relationship is over'/'I cannot stand another day of this relationship'/'we are never going to make it' moments. Same type of thing, psychological/mental/emotional abuse constantly over several years. It has worn me down into a shell of who I once was. However in my case there is a child involved so I cannot just get up and walk out as often and as much as I want to. I'm envious of OP.[/quote]

I was in your position. For the sake of my child AND myself, I left. I could not let her grow up seeing this. I left with no job, no place to go but my dads. Now I have a wonderful new relationship with a man who is my daughters future step dad. She gets to see me with a man who treats me with love, tenderness and respect, someone who gives as much love to me as I do to him. I found the perfect job for me that I can grow into. I am living a life I could have only dreamed of just a few years ago.

There is no clear path from where you are now to where you need to be. I went through some pretty bad stuff to get here. Things I could not have imagined, and I never really knew how things would work out. But they did. Because I did not let the fear of the unknown shackle me to the dread of the known. People who know my story call me brave, but really, I just jumped off a cliff not knowing if there were rocks or water down below. Then I just kept swimming till I found land.

Please reconsider replacing your envy with a creative imagining of what might be and how you want to model marriage to your child.
