Should I divorce after just 6 months?
I am miserable. I am 36 years old and got married less than 6 months ago to a man I dated for over one year and lived with for 6 months. Since we’ve been married, he has become unbearable. He works part-time, but has since stopped looking for a full-time job. I work full-time and pay all the bills and do all the cleaning. He is demanding all sorts of weird sexual acts that I have told him I am uncomfortable performing and says I should seek therapy to get over this. He won’t let me have anytime to myself and screams at me for anything and everything. He doesn’t like me talking to my parents. He complains about where we live, but it’s all I can afford if he won’t make more money. Now he wants a baby. Holy cow! When will I have the time (my daily commute is 45 minutes each way) or money? I’d never been married before and now believe I was destined to be single. He’s been away on business for a few weeks now, and I am really enjoying it. What should I do?
You sound really unhappy. But I’m willing to bet that some of these unbearable things that are showing up in him existed before you got married. You’re just realizing that marriage didn’t make things better. Should you get a divorce? I think so, at the very least stop taking care of him. Cut off the cable, internet, whatever….get rid of video games ect. Strip the house down to the bare minimums. Don’t do his laundry, don’t cook for him. And by all means cut out the sex and put him on the couch. Either he will shape up or he will leave you.
