Gloria, I am so sorry to hear that. No one deserves abuse at any time, but especially from a support group! We all process, act and cope differently, so have to be open to the fact that we are all struggling, but in different ways.

I did post my story on the story forum but I found I prefer to post in the support/general categories instead since you can get comments and support that way. Either way though, I hope you feel comfortable to share your story and get the support you need.

Thanks all.

Weve fought for the past couple days. I wish I could just rewind to when things were good and keep it there. At this point in time I would still seriously consider a MOM if he was open to it. Which makes me feel kinda pathetic. I have given everything to this marriage and it has been a real slap in the face to see I was the only one. It has left me feeling worthless, unlovable, disposable.

This is where I am, and have been, for the last little while. You aren’t alone. 

Just this last week was our anniversary. I gave him concert tickets to a musician he loves (not someone on my radar). He didn’t even remember our anniversary at all, and didn’t even make an attempt to give me something after the fact. No guilt, no remorse, nothing. For years, he used the excuse that he doesn’t buy good gifts (all occasions were the same), so I created wish lists. I sent him links, sizes, colours…. Nope. The day before he would attempt to rush out and find something, so he could say he didn’t have time.

truth is, he didn’t care. He always has the best of the things he wants though.

And I don’t care about “things” but being thought of is important to me.
