Well done you nbumblebee, you can do great things.
I got my current job at the start of the time I was starting to think he was abusive. He didn’t really acknowledge it when I told him. But I didn’t care, it was mine and I did it, even when his friends told me to give up.
This job has been so good for me and has built up my confidence which I think was a big factor in gaining back my strength and allowing me to walk away from the relationship.
Savor your success, it’s yours and you made it happen, no one else x*x-
@eyesopening I am hoping this will give me the confidence boost and financial backing to move on with my life MY LIFE just gotta hope and pray he doesnt stop me. Where do you find that strength?

Hey nbumblebee, I had to think about this. I think we all have the strength, it’s all inside us. But we all need to take a journey to get to that place of strength. It’s like the change curve, we all go through it, and it takes time, but the most important thing to remember is to be kind to yourself, never criticize yourself, you are human and are only responding to your situation like any other person would. I spent all my free time on this forum, listening to youtube videos and books. Knowledge really is power and the more you understand, the easier it is to build up that barrier and gain strength.
Then of course support is the most important thing. We can’t do it alone, we need support here, we need outreach workers, we need GP’s, and friends and family and coworkers. We need to build a life that is ours, a life that will support us just fine without the abuser.
Well done you again, stay strong you can do this 🙂 xxxx -
Thank you I guess thats my thing I dont have any support apart from you guys this fight is mine alone and some days thats tough its really tough.
I gotta do this I really have I just hope and pray the fall out isnt too much that he doesnt make it impossible for me to work. Only time will tell I guess. Thank you again your words always give me hope and hold me up. Take care x

That’s great news @nbumblebee, this goes to show that you DO have the power within you to make changes to your life, changes for the better. When you tell him your good news remember this…
A healthy relationship partner will:
Be delighted for you
Congratulate you
Celebrate with you
Wish you good luck
Tell you he knew all along you’d get the job because you are so awesomeAn abuser will:
Be gutted (because it doesn’t suit him)
Ask why on earth you’d want to do that
Tell you you’re stupid for even thinking you’ll be any good at it
Discourage you from taking it
Tell you the pay is rubbish, the job is rubbish, you don’t need to work as he earns enough
Put a downer on your joy
Go in a sulk/mood/silent treatment
Threats or physical harm if you accept it
Try and make you late for it when you start to sabotage itI hope you have a good day x

@wantstohelp as always you are so right. Now the happiness has cleared im not worried sick about telling him he will go mad and will take it alla way I know he will. This time i gotta stand my ground I am not looking foward to the fallout. Thats not right x*x

That’s wonderful nbumblebee! I know it’s scary too, but you’re doing it with your eye open. You’re not kidding yourself that he’ll be supportive. This is a massively courageous thing to do. Don’t underestimate how much strength this has taken and like Eyesopening said, you made it happen. I am so happy for you. Well done you!
When you do tell him, remember that whatever you say won’t make him think it’s ok if he has a problem with it. Try not to get sucked into arguing your case and defending yourself. In my experience, the harder I tried to get him to see my side of things, the worse I felt afterwards. You can tell him about it and not back down without getting sucked into trying to persuade him to see your point of view. Xxxx

A little update not sure how much of this will be removed but i hope you understand it.
Ive been asked to be interviwed (detail removed by Moderator) about my role in helping others throughout covid (detail removed by Moderator). I was so honoured they said some lovley things as to why they choose me. So i thought this would be a good start to tell husband about job too. So i told him about the interview first he rolled his eyes said you are not going to do that you will look a idiot. I told him I was doing the interview and he just ignored me and wont talk about it anymore. My guess is he will make it impossible for me to attend so i didnt tell him about the job one fight at a time i think. Thank you for all your support cant tell you how much it means x -
