Though, in my defense, I can honestly say I didn't set out to trick him into marriage. It just kind of, er, happened. I mean people age. Responsibilities pile up. I can't very well be doing that morning, noo... easy cheap divorce…

You are right - there are a lot of people in our age group who have been through a divorce sadly. Your marriage sounds a lot like my first engagement. Jealous, controlling, made me feel like shit, very verbally abusive. Luckily I broke it off about 5 months before the wedding and I thank God every day that I did it. Good for you for being smart enough to get out of it - life IS too short! This is a great post. You are right - there are a lot of people in our age group who have been through a divorce sadly.

I'm glad you stood up and walked out, no matter what the catalyst was.

Thank you for sharing your story. As someone has been there (and yes, I do mean all of it - and more); it was so nice to read these words that could have been my own, and know that someone <i>truly</i> understands.

It really is amazing how much better off you tend to be - despite having to go through the trauma - and I think that is true of a lot of things in life. Thank you so much for putting that out there.

I don't know how I'd do if I had one of my own.

It seems that we often forget about doing what is best for us due to what we believe is right for the other person in a relationship. You did what was right for you, no matter what, and I think that's admirable. Good for you--more women should read this post! :) I think what you did was a bold and corageous thing!
