Divorced People Are Revealing The Breaking Points That Finally Ended Their Marriages

“I resented the hell out of their low sex drive, emotional manipulation, and inability to function like an adult. Instead of dealing with that (honestly, I didn’t see it), I projected my resentment onto them, and we fought about things that weren’t actually the issue. Of course, that means it never got better. Every month during my period, I considered disappearing and starting a new life. I thought that was what everyone did, ‘hormones’ and all.”

“Once I got to a place in therapy where I realized I had been over-functioning for 15+ years and resented the hell out of them… It was over. I was so relieved when I realized I wanted a divorce. 

We were good at being friends. We were AWFUL as a couple. We were both the problem.

Two years later, I barely recognize the miserable shell of a human I was. And hey. Turns out they were capable of paying bills, doing the dishes, cooking, and scooping litter boxes the whole time. They just couldn’t be bothered when I was there to pick up the mess.”
