No choice for adultrey, gambling debts, verbal abuse, verbal abuse of kids which almost led to physical, but usually was stopped short of it.

Stbxh asked for the divorce because he was "not happy", "loved me but not in love with me anymore", felt dead inside, needs to move on, blah, blah, blah. All about him and his needs ...not interested in counseling because he said he had felt this way for the last 8 years!!
Oh, wow, what a martyr he has been!
I had reached the point where I couldn't take his attitude, immaturity, financial abuse and emotional cheating anymore and just agreed to end it.

Let's see, how do I sum it up in 2000 characters or less? I'll just list the problems that my stbx has or has done to me:

Adultery
physical abuse
mental abuse
forging my signature on legal documents
running up the debt
she's bipolar
she's got co-dependency disorder which caused her to drive away every friend I ever had and all family
she has no idea what true love is which broke my heart.

Too bad we couldn't select numerous entries on the voting.

Where do I start, he verbally abused me from the day we got married. If he wasn't yelling at me, he was calling me names. He had a money problem and spent more then we made. He thought that cheating on me was okay. He drank and drove and that was always okay. But with all that, I loved him, I married him and thought that I owed it to our marriage to suck all that up and work through it... But then one day he said that he didn't want to be married anymore and that he made a mistake by exchanging vows with me....

I left because he asked me to after telling me he loved me, but was no longer "in-love" and he couldn't deal with any of it anymore! He is on pain meds (morphine) thats totally changed his feelings about everything and everyone in his life, but refuses to see this and get help...

I loved this man so much I didn't see or looked past all the verbal and mental abuse. He controlled and took advantage of me. He was abusive to my daughter but favored his "blood" son. Less than 30 minutes a day is all he spent with them. He smokes pot all day long, never let me get a real job or go to school, moved all the time for inconsistent work. I'm 26 with nothing - beat up car, horrible credit, no job, no education, etc. But at least my kids are safe now ....

My wife was always drinking and was letting her underage son drink and sleep with underage girls in my home with her blessing just so she would not have to deal with his idiot, lying, cheating, vandalizing, hateful, disrespectful, thinking the world owes him a living ass. Whenever I would say something to the boy, she would accuse me of not liking the boy. But how do you like someone that creates nothing but trouble and drama all the time.

My husband thought I should pay 90% give or take and he could chip in. Now if I had vac pay or tax refund, that meant he could work less and play more. If and when we did anything together, it came out of my household money or on my credit cards. Drinking, drugging and karaoke are his main concerns. I told him he could leave and do anything he wants and maybe he would find someone with the same interests. Good luck.

I left because I found him cheating, but we got back together around 9 months later to give him another chance and he cheated worse the second time around. Along with his being verbally abusive and hiding money, I just couldn't take it any longer.

My wife left me but she suffered from mental illness and was very verbal and physically abusive. I problem would still be with her if she didn't snap and walk out.

My husband thought I should pay 100% of the household expenses as his paycheck was needed to support his hobbies: entertaining his married girlfriend, bow hunting, fishing, 4 wheeling, alcohol consumption.
