[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, given the limited details of what you have described, I can't really tell if what you are describing warrants divorce.  I personally, do not think it is my husband's job to defend me from personal attack.  I own my own sh*t.  I'm trying to envision exactly what you are describing - attack by MIL, and then a "similar" attack by someone else?  What exactly is going on and why do you need your husband to defend you?[/quote]

I hear what you mean and I feel similarly, tbh. I’ve fought plenty of my own battles throughout the years.  But the older I get and the more life has knocked us down in different ways, I’m feeling a bone deep exhaustion from being the one to defend myself and us against things. I’m not a super aggressive person but I feel that I’ve had to do more than my fair share as my dh is so passive.

For instance, our 2nd grade daughter was sharing some very real instances of being bullied in class. My husbands response was to shrug it off and ignore it. I had to be the one contacting the school and sharing concerns. All this kind of stuff always falls on me as he is so conflict adverse. [/quote]
