My husband says he wants a divorce.
I have nowhere to go, no money, and that means I have to give up on everything I've been working towards.
I want to be swallowed up by a dark chasm that suddenly appears and pretend like I never existed.


Oh noo. Hugs. I don't know what to say.

That really f***ing sucks.

I don't pretend to have words to make things ok, but if I tried I'd say something like "we're always just working towards tomorrow, in whatever shape it takes." Not that views like that have been terribly useful to me in my own despairing moments.

Maybe it would mean more simply to say that I hear you and validate the emotions you're experiencing. That really sucks.

[edit] That said. You're an intelligent, attractive, caring, and real person that will find someone else.

I would celebrate if I had a wife like martianprincess. The fact her husband is deciding to terminate their marriage makes my blood boil since he’s taking her for granted.

Oh Sly! You made me smile as it was the aay you said it. (O.k. Back to being serious).

Life has seasons. You are in the doldrums, but something I want to say. Things change. The winds of life change. The seasons change... You will find life like that. So get ready for change. You may not see it coming. You may not feel that change can take place. But it can and good things do happen. :) Are you ready for the next season?

I don't have a phone so I don't have a number; but I'm a sad addict with an aura of failure and generally the more effort I apply, the worse things turn. What I wouldn't give to realize I must have a congenial heart defect and that was the last beat it had left in it.

alimony? student aid? you are way more than whatever some guy says. and, like aunt blabby says, fight for a fair deal. and please feel free to tell us more. you must be feeling overwhelmed. how will this affect the rest of your semester? at best, the guy has bad timing.

2... stomachache again. I've always had a bit of a weak stomach, but it's gotten worse lately. I've already been to the doctor, but since I have an office job and not really any sporty hobbies, they're convinced that my lack of exercise plus not good enough diet are the cause. I'm not saying they're wrong, in fact they might very well be right, but the possibility that they're wrong and this is something serious worries me... I've been exercising more and am fixing up and keeping a close eye on my diet, so it's not like I'm not doing anything, but it'd still be nice to know if that's really what I need. Though on the bright side, even if it isn't, fixing them up will do me good.

I have two degrees already so I don't qualify for aid, I've been paying for my classes out of pocket.

My husband said he wants us to go through all of the options, including counseling and see a lawyer.
So, that's better than nothing.
I still don't know exactly what he wants to do. But I'm going to do what I can to set myself up for success. I will keep my daytime class schedule for next semester and try to find a night job. Who needs sleep. (:

I appreciate all the support. I will be okay. And the problems are my fault as much as they are his. I fully admit that and take responsibility. He's not a villain.
