First: Gorgeous, smart, funny guy and gorgeous, smart, funny gal had been together 15 years. He'd proposed three times during their relationship. She always said no. One drunken night on vacation she proposed to him; he said yes. Beautiful formal beach wedding; less than a year later they divorced. It was bitter and ugly, no kids, thankfully. But she accused him of hiring people to spy on her, and also accused him of taking all her money for a bogus business scam on his part, which didn't exist. Turned out she had a massive drinking problem he'd never paid attention to. Buy it:  Happy Dragon Is This Jolly Enough Christmas Shir

Shes a narcissist and was emotionally abusive. My dad and I have always been close and I think part of that was jealousy. I was 10 when they got together and a very opinionated, well spoken kid. She wanted me to quiet and meek and demure like a good little girl. Now I'm an adult and still opinionated but also with near crippling anxiety and depression. Yay!

Not me, but my dad's first two marriages lasted less than a year each. First one was to my mum. They met at a party and didn't date long. My mum is controlling and kinda the typical normie Boomer "go to school and get a real job". My dad is a metal head weirdo, who dropped out and drove taxi. They split fairly amicably a couple months before I was born. He got full custody of me and raised me to be a weirdo too. Buy it:  Marvelous Funny Christmas 2020 Straight Outta North Pole Shirt

Second marriage, when I was about 2, ended when my dad found out my step mother and one step brother were physically abusing me when he was at work. He later found out she was slipping him sleeping pills so she go prostitute herself for drug money. He left her the day he found out what had happened to me.

When he separated all the cartilage of the ribs along the left side of my chest from my bony ribs. What really put the final nail in the coffin was when I said I felt betrayed, as I never thought he’d actually hurt me—that conversation blew my mind. I told him how upset I was that he’d actually injured me, and he said, “I thought you knew me.” Buy it:  Better Face Mask 2020 The Year I Turned Eighteen And Was Quarantined Shirt

I found out when he filed the divorce papers though. There in black and white...adultery. He’d been having feelings for someone else and it wasn’t fair to carry on with me, so he kicked me out of the home that was half mine and never gave me a chance to at least try to work it out. He even moved her into our marital home a couple of months later. It’s over 20 years ago, but I’m still SO angry about it, even though I’m blissfully remarried. Buy it:  Hot Greetings Dog 2020 Shirt

(I took revenge in the best way though. He was on holiday with his new woman and a mutual friend was cat sitting at the house. I persuaded him to go out for the evening, he gave me the keys and I fucked my ex-husbands boss on his and his girlfriends bed. I left a big red lipstick kiss on the mirror for him to see when they got home. Made me feel about 1000 times better!) Buy it:  Premium 2020 What Child Is This Baby Yd Ugly Christmas T-shirt

In the week before he did, well, we fucked like rabbits every day that week. On the Tuesday he bought flowers to my workplace, because he’d been visiting a client in my building and couldn’t be in the same place as I was without coming in to see me. And then on the Thursday, we went grocery shopping. I remember as clear as day when we walked in the store I said “shall I get this one or will you?” And he turned to me and said he didn’t think I should, because it would be unfair of him to make me buy groceries I wasn’t going to be using.

 I was like, what? And right there next to the potatoes and carrots, he said he was sorry but he was going to take me to my parents house because he didn’t want to be married to me any more. And that was it. We were 8 days away from our anniversary. We met up for coffee a few times after, because I was determined to find out why, but he never told me. I tried to at least stay friends but the complete lack of answers made me realise that it wasn’t worth my time. Buy it:  Congratulations Chef Manager Abteilungsleiter Arbeiter Und Angestellte Shirt

Little red flag early on: He called me a bitch on our wedding day, in front of our guests. He asked me if I would dance with him (not the first dance, we’d already done that) and I was mingling with people, pressing the flesh and all that so I said that I couldn’t at the moment, but I would in a minute. He responded with “god you’re such a bitch, I don’t know why we’re bothering if you won’t even dance with me. Buy it:  Wonderful Nice Woman Yelling At Baby Yd Ugly Christmas Shirt

” He’d never, ever spoken to me like that before so Next day, he was really, REALLY apologetic and he’d had a lot to drink so we put it down to that. I was annoyed, obviously, but there wasn’t another incident like that in our marriage, all 11 months and 23 days of it. In fact, I’d say it was blissful. We’d bought a house, we had cats, we worked hard and we were doing just fine. Sexually, it was brilliant. There were absolutely no clues he was about to end it.

He called me a whore and threatened to beat my face in, in the parking lot of the B&B, the morning after the wedding. His reason for being so mad was that I had promised one of my bridesmaids a ride to the airport on our way out of town, and he simply didn’t want to. Silly me I thought the wedding would be a fresh start and somehow change his frame of mind to stop being abusive. I left for the first time about six months after that, but it was a slow detachment that took another year and a half (I got pregnant again because he didn’t believe in me taking birth control).

Finally she didn't like that so I said okay, then I'm done. The whole time she was refusing to admit fault for sleeping with the local drug dealer who was her "friend" at her Salon school and who knew she was married. He subsequently threatened to kill her if she told anyone what his off-school hours activities were. Following this I heard from her mom that if I went after the furniture in the house she would go after my harley. Buy it:  Good The Skorys Merch The Skorys Glitch Shirt

She cheated on me while I was deployed. Refused to let me stay at the apartment I was paying for in the bed I was paying for. After a few weeks, she allowed me to sleep on the couch I was paying for. Refused to let me in the bedroom at night to sleep. Kicked me out of the apartment 4 or 5 times during the following 3 months. Her parents liked me well enough to let me stay with them while we (read: I) tried to work things out over that time.  Buy it:  Awesome The Season To Be Jolly It Is Yd Ugly Christmas Funny Shirt

We got married and two months later my sister and brother in law came over to visit. My BIL brings out his laptop and shows me pictures of her holding hands and getting in a car with another guy earlier that day. Confronted her and she admits she was out with the guy. I was dumb and stayed another year. 2 month later he wanted sex. I refused to have sex in the same room as my 3 year old child he moved into our room so his dead beat of a sister could take over our son's room. So he forced me over a chair in the living room and raped me with a dildo that was just way too big. Buy it:  Funny The Season To Be Jolly Baby Yd Ugly Christmas T-Shirt

But then one day he stopped coming around; we stopped going to that church. We'd come home to 16+ messages on our answering machine with him chanting how she was beautiful and wanted to see her again. She had to get a restraining order. Some where along the line, I learned he was supposedly schizophrenic -- though I think I remember having a conversation with him about hearing voices before, but I was Christian back then, so I interpreted it as a "voice of God/the Holy Spirit" kind of thing.

She had this idea that she needed to provide a "father figure" and there was a guy at one of the churches we were going to she was dating when I was 11-ish. I got along with him. I thought they liked each other. Everyone was pushing for them to get married. Finally, they did, though we still lived in separate houses.

Sometimes people have issues that have nothing to do with you and no amount of love, understanding, and support on your part will solve their issues or meet their needs. It is confounding and can make you question yourself, but ultimately with time and distance you can see that it wasn't about you. There is someone out there who will value and cherish what you have to offer. Buy it:  New Save The Manatee LCHS 16 Annual 5k Run 2 Mile Walk Mini Mile Shirt

I used to put my head face down on a pillow because I wanted to stop talking in an argument and she wanted to keep going. I went for a walk twice, when she refused me a break, and she shut my phone off! Two or three other times, I found my bank card disabled. I know that's getting into abuse there. The marriage died. I should have pulled the plug sooner or not even married her at all. Religious upbringing, I couldn't just shack up with someone and I wasn't going to get divorced twice by God. But, yeah, it was the method of argument that was the sign. Buy it:  Best 2020 The Child Baby Yd Ugly Christmas Shirt

I think the thing that got me was how badly we argued. She refused to let me take breaks. It's something I learned in therapy: if you're just going back and forth in an argument, ask for a break. She wanted to resolve things right away and said I was just procrastinating. I also felt like she wasn't negotiating when we argued. I tried to offer compromise positions but she was an all or nothing kind of attitude. So I'd offer a few compromises, they'd be rejected, I'd ask for a break, that would be rejected and on it went.

She thought the entire town she lived in was full of bad people. She was a military brat and, according to her, everybody -- like, literally, every person in every town, according to her -- in towns near military bases hates the military. Not some, everyone. According to her, everyone at her job was incompetent and out to get her -- especially the women. At first I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she got fired and, at the new job, same thing. Buy it:  Top Bike Merry Christmas You Wheelie Animals Shirt

Quick story: a friend helped us move, busted his ass, spent the night on an air mattress in living room. Wife and him got into an argument about feeding dogs chocolate. She did it in front of him and he said it was bad for dogs and she went at him. I was amazed, however, when he apologized to her on his own. Said it was her home and her dog and he shouldn't tell her what to do. (I have good friends.) I was so proud of the way he handled it and I thought that diffused the situation but she woke me at 4 AM and said we had "to deal with this." I was confused and she went out to the living room, woke my buddy, and continued the argument about dogs! Buy it:  Good Baby It’s Covid Outside Funny Santa Claus Christmas 2020 Shirt

So my first divorce gets done and I do therapy and stuff and get out and start dating. I hate dating. New people every week and I'm pushing 40 at that point so it sucks: swipe right and all this bullshit. I had one lady I really liked and we went out about 6 times but then she ghosted on me. That was bizarre -- I didn't even know what "ghosting" was and I was just sick of being single. Buy it:  Official Ew David Face Mask 2020 Christmas Shirt

... Fast forward 25 years. Got married (the first time) at 30. Dated over a year, six month engagement, proposed on my knees, etc. By the book courtship. Had two kids right off the bat and the relationship fell apart because both of us super busy with work and kids. I knew we were drifting but figured, as the kids got older, we'd come back. Nope. She wanted a divorce after 5 years. Found out later wife #1 had a side-dude and it crushed me. I fell apart: mental hospital, everything. I was replaying my childhood nightmares.

Necessary background: I grew up religious, preacher's son, and my father lost his pastor job when my mom left him because he couldn't "manage his household." So mom bails, dad loses his job, divorce is "sinful" anyway, and my life was turned upside down. We had to go live with my father's father -- me, my brother and my dad in one room. And grandpa was an abusive drunk. From preacher's son to hiding under the bed while dad was at school so grandpa wouldn't whip my ass... Buy it:  Official Basketball Snowman Christmas Shirt

First month. As soon as he signed the damn paper he became a totally different person. The person I fell in love with, no longer existed and it was so painful because it felt like he had died. That asshole wasn’t my partner, he was just my new husband and it was something that I had to fix or run away from. So I did it. And it was the best desition I made.

The last straw, though…the point where I definitely knew I had to leave him, was when he force-choked the hell out of me on Mustafar, and left me for dead while he fought with his old mentor. We separated pretty soon afterward, and it’s left me pretty broken, tbh. The world feels like it’s just…fading away, and I’ve kinda lost the will to live.

The war, as it turned out, escalated very quickly, and within a year it had taken a pretty heavy toll on his mental health. It didn’t help that I got pregnant around the same time. He started really worrying me when some pretty ugly abandonment issues reared their head. He couldn’t bear the thought that something might happen to me and he’d lose me…whether because of the war, or complications from childbirth, or…I honestly don’t know, he got real moody around this time and I could just feel our relationship slipping away.

His mother died right in the middle of our time together, which fucked him up pretty bad. I started to see an angry side to him which I should’ve found more disturbing, truthfully…but…I mean…his mother had just died, and I figured it was only a human reaction to that kind of pain. To be honest, I kinda thought I could save him…I know how stupid that sounds now, but he really had this puppy-like quality at times that made you just want to cuddle him. I got married to him right at the start of a big war in our country at the time, and we kinda felt like we had to live each day to the fullest given that we might not have much time together.

There was a pretty long gap in the middle where I was focused on my career in politics and didn’t see him, but when we reconnected he had become…pretty hot, ngl. He had gotten involved with some pretty hardcore religious types, but they seemed like good people, and we even had some friends in common. We got to spend a lot of time together during that period because…reasons, but he was honestly funny, charming…a little creepy at times, probably should have picked up on the fact that his politics kinda sucked even back then, but…I guess I was just too smitten at that point.

We’d been married for a year and been in marriage counseling for a bit when the therapist asked her if she respected me. When she said “No”, it was all done for me. This isn’t easy for me to put out there but I hope people understand you can bitch and moan all you like about your spouse’s annoying little habits or personality quirks, etc. but ask yourself if you respect them. That is the BIG ask. If you don’t then your marriage is a waste of time and emotions. Buy it:  Top Cat Touch My Yarn I Will Slap You So Hard Even God Won’t Be Able To Find You Shirt

There were a lot of red flags that I can only see now, in hindsight, TBH. For context, there was a pretty big age gap between us, and he had a really, really rough life when I first met him. Some friends of mine and I helped him get out of his bad situation, although it meant leaving his mother behind (sweet woman, tbh). I couldn’t see at the time how much that would fuck him up, but…hoo boy. Buy it:  Nice Being A Mom Is Full Time Job Expect No Pay Check No Sick Days You Get No Brakes Shirt

I soon found out that she had been cheating on me with her boss at work all along. I don’t know how long. I want to think it didn’t start before we got married. She would have had to have some nerve to be standing at the altar and playing a charade infront of our families. But it doesn’t really matter now. Buy it:  Good When I Dance I look Like This Shirt

It’s now 10 years later and I am happily married with two children. I got over my ex a long time ago, and I look back at it as an interesting learning. Sometimes marriage can be a trigger for break up. Perhaps it’s the fear of being tied to one person for the rest of your life that makes some of us cheat.

We went into months of counselling, but my wife made it clear that she wanted out. I eventually moved out for a „trial separation“. That trial moved into a permanent arrangement. We divorced to the day 12 months after getting married, which was the earliest we could get divorced according to Australian law.

Here‘s mine: we had been together for 13 years in what seemed to be a happy relationship on both sides. Eventually we got married. With that everything suddenly changed. 6 months after being married there was no sex anymore. My wife was completely cold to me. I asked what was wrong, but she said all fine. I confronted my wife and she came up with excuses that she had given the condoms to a (female) friend of hers who needed them. Buy it: Good 44 Lewis hamilton World Titles 2008 2020 Shirt

When the guy I worked with started showing me general human kindness and I realized what a selfish asshole I had married (2 months into marriage but 4 years together). And within that time he told me he wasn't sure he wanted to have kids...even though we had been actively trying to have a baby for 2 years and the only thing I wanted in this world was to be a mom?? we had married in June, officially separated in November and filed paperwork in May. But, I married the nice guy from work, we've been together for 3 years and we now have a 6 week old baby together so I mean, it worked out for the best.

That should've been my first red flag, since I didn't know if she really sued him to finalize the divorce or if he really did abuse her. Couple months into the relationship, I witnessed him yelling at the next door's kids who were being quite loud (they were running around the hallway), because he was taking a nap on Saturday afternoon. I'm talking about a grown man, just woke up, walked out, and yelled the living out of him at toddlers for being loud, went back inside, slammed the door in front of the kids, and went back to sleep. He never hit me or anything, but that was the first time I feel terrified being in the same room with him. To this day I don't know if there really was domestic abuse in his marriage, but I deffinitely think he had anger issues. Buy it: Official I Won The Election Trump To The World American Flag Shirt

Not me, my ex. He split up after 6 months into the marriage. They fought almost everyday and eventually decided to go seperate ways. He was really honest about it during our second date, by honest I mean he also told me the wife sued him for domestic abuse to get the divorce finalized faster. Where he lives, there's a law that forbids married couple to divorce before 2 years into the marriage unless there's domestic abuse or other criminal acts involved (sadly cheating is not considered criminal act by law).  Buy it:  Top Camo Is In My Blood Not Just In Closet Shirt

I hire a Tax attorney to find out my options, only to find out that the entire time we were married she was lying about her salary by dwindling her taxes being taken out of her check to literally a negative amount. Basically inflating her net to “out-do” my salary or what I was bringing home.  Buy it:  Better The Walleye Are Calling And I Must Go Fish Funny Shirt

If she looks for the gun….” I’m sleeping on my love seat and she literally kicks the door into the room and screams “WHERE IS THE GUN!!??” I was scared and shocked!

She begins screaming at me on the phone and beating her fists on something that I can hear over the phone. So, I know we have a gun in the house and right now this woman is in a frenzy because the bonus from my job was her next shopping spree and I effectively took that from her.

She empties out our bank account by shopping until the credit cards wouldn’t slide anymore.

She empties out our bank account on 3 different “incidents”. We don’t have any food or a dime to our name, but she has the latest shoes & purses. As a small preview into her shopping habits, she would buy so much so often. She often found herself having multiples of the same items because she'd forget that she'd already bought it.
