    when I left the apt. I was forced to vacate because the new owner waanted my apt., my mother took her weed killer sprayer and spelled the word “bitch” in the lawn with the spray. this spray kills everything, not just weeds. so about 2 weeks later, can you guess what word magically appeared in the lawn ??? ha, ha, ha (my mother and I are so evil). I was going to pee on the hardwood floors too, but then I thought that was pushing it a little bit…

    Sorry I’m joining in so late to the heartfelt discussions(literally…it’s 8:45pm PDT Thurs.)Hello again, Tiger’s Mama, I’m 2 steps behind you all over the site.Like someone earlier said, I have to basically agree w/all the advice that’s been proffered here. I empathize wid’choo Terri, as I had to depart after 3 years of legal separation in ’87. I have one wonderful daughter who graduated from college last year. I hate to sound like Bill Clinton, but I really do ‘feel your pain’. You need to know you have my support and affection, *HEADBONK* Don’t be a stranger to my Inbox if you can help it!

    Well, just when things seemed to be going better, hubby is a bit of a jerk this morning. I am up at 5:30am and when I go to feed Sylvester, I am surprised by his being up too. I say, how come you are up? He says because has to go to work. I say okay, didn’t know you were going to work. He says you go to work, and I go to work. He says this in a condescending tone to me. I say, you don’t need to be rude about it of which he starts to go into a tirade about it all. I said, hey just stop, I have to go to work and don’t need this. He stops but then starts up again. I tell him thank you for getting me all worked up at such an early time of day. I said I do not need this. Okay…repeating mantra…on a three month plan…on a three month plan.

    Sounds like there is a lack of good communication there. In this instance for sure, on his part.

    Stay with your plan Karin. There are always ups and downs in relationships, but if the downs outweigh the ups… well, life is too short to be miserable.

    Things seemed to be going so well but am Sorry to say that hubby and I had a really nasty fight. He told me to F*** Off last night. He has never used foul language at me last night. I was tired and not feeling like doing the dishes and had told him that on Tuesday night. He said okay. Last night when I got home I still did not feel like doing the dishes and even more so since it was 85 degrees in my area yesterday. Well, he comes home, no pleasantries but instead is rude to me. I tell him that it is too hot and I am tired and not feeling like doing the dishes. He gets mad and says he cooked and I should clean and all. I said I am sorry but I do not feel like doing it right now. He said well, he needed to cook and all. Anyways, so he is doing the dishes and banging things around so much that I thought something would break. I told him this and how he doesn’t respect my things. I said how I wasn’t given these things, that I worked hard to pay for them and because he didn’t pay for them, he didn’t care. At that point he told me f*** off. I said if you are saying that to me then I am saying back at you. I said he was a jerk and walked away. We haven’t spoken since. I don’t know if I can last these next three months (giving it till January). I need to find at least $1800-2400 to move and another $600 to divorce him. I am trying to win the lottery but it isn’t working. I am so frustrated.

    Sorry all. I need some hugs and comforting this morning.

    Karin, I’m so sorry to hear about the problems you and he are having. It sounds as if money or him not working is a real issue. Even if it’s not an issue for you, it certainly appears to be an issue for him!

    What a lot of people don’t know, is that a topic like money – who earns it, how much, how it’s spent & saved – often has a lot of emotions attached to it. It can stir up emotions and assumptions of which people aren’t even aware, even when they’re angry. And struggles with money can lead to a lot of stress.

    I hope that you and he can find a way to co-exist more peacefully until you’re ready to depart.

    Karin, I know how hard it is to keep going, but remember we’re here for you. Love Terri

    Karin, so sorry to hear that you had a crappy morning, you surely don’t need that. I do hope that he is in a better mood when you get home this evening, for your sake. As others have said, we are here if you need to vent; if I had the means, I would help you with the monies to buy you peace of mind.

    Well, he just seems to get angry at me a lot more than I think is necessary. Yes, he may be frustrated with his job search and his having to work as a chauffer but he doesn’t need to take it out on me. I have been trying to help him all along. I was the one who encouraged him to go for a limo driver position instead of doing the taxi job since that was all he could do with no office experience when we first got married. I was the one who encouraged him to go out and apply at temp agencies to take lower level jobs so that he could get his foot in the door. Did he go and sign up…no as he had a certain type of job in mind (one where he could work mostly from home and his own hours). For almost three years, money has been an issue for him and I except for three months when he had a decent job making as much money as I was making. Unfortunately a new CFO came in and laid off all the people in the finance dept.

    Also, he has this attitude that when he wants me to do something, he wants it now but if I want something from him, I am not to even think of asking him.

    I thought we were able to co-exist as things seemed to be going okay. We were both hot and tired last night and he didn’t want to try and work around the dishes. I know he is extra hungry and thirsty due to his fasting for his month long Ramadan (they fast from sunup to sundown for one month). Why is it I have to figure out what is wrong? Why can’t he just tell me and then work around the dishes? I would have come and cleaned up later on. I can’t take much more of this. Poor Sylvester. Thank God at least I have my furry friend who I believe loves me.

    We love you too, Karin.

    And I don’t want to get in your bidness, but I don’t think you should put up with that sort of behavior. I don’t think anybody should.

    If he doesn’t realize you’re on his side now, he’ll never realize it. I’m glad you at least have Sylvester. They really can be more of a comfort than we give them credit for.

    *Hugs to Karin and Sylvester*

    Karin.. I know you said you can’t move in with mom/dad, but if you tell them the situation, would they be able to loan you enough money to get out of the situation and into your own place? Do you have good enough credit to get a loan from a bank or credit union?

    We are here for you….. as you are for us.

    One Popoki, last I checked my credit was good but I don’t think I should go and obtain a loan when I have other financial obligations. Moving in with my sister is no longer and option since she just got engaged and her fiance is moving in with her now. Mom and Dad are on a fixed income so cannot borrow from them. I am going to see if I can ask my Great Aunt. I will send her a note and send it via “snail mail” when I get home.

    I wish I could help you… all I can do is send moral support. Do you have any other relatives or close friends that could offer up space for the short term? When I left my 1st husband, I moved in with a friend for a month or 2… no rent. She was a doll to do that. Just tossing ideas out there.

    Hi Karin…Your post hit me hard since I can so relate to the problems. I’m sorry your having to endure them. Hope Sylvester is doing okay thru it all. Cats are so receptive to human problems & can make them quite skittish. I wish so much that I was closer & could help you. You’ve seen my place tho & there isn’t awhole lot of spare room either. Wish I could help
