      First of all, I want to thank everyone! I’ve been reading your posts before I joined and you’ve all helped more than you’ll know.

      I’ve been married a few decades,give or take the odd year.

      I’ve realised now, that there’s been controlling behaviour right from the start of the marriage, gaslighting and general put downs disguised as ‘jokes’.

      These are just a few of his behaviours.

      There is so much more I could say, but we all know how it goes, and I’m done moaning – it’s time for action!

      A diary is being written, Drs and work have been informed, and I’ve uninitiated contact with a women’s agency. (Got to contact a solicitor again, I saw one back in Jan, but have forgotten what was said)!

      So thanks all, again. Without your help, if of probably faffed about for how many more years!?! đź’–

      Good for you. You deserve better and it seems you have the measure of him. It’s your time now to look after yourself and take back your life. Such adventures we can have when we are free x just remember not to let him know about your plans to leave. Get all your ducks in a row and stay safe. It’s the most dangerous time for us when we leave or soon afterward x
