Hugs to you. This is a huge step. Fuck him and his “neither did you.” He did this to himself by starting this whole mess to begin with. Fortunately, you’ll be better off for it. Wishing you and DD the best as you move forward.
I really applaud how well you are walking away from his bullshit and his bullshit tactics to make you feel trapped or bad about yourself.
You really deserve a lot of credit.
I’m sure he’s just stunned that he couldn’t be an asshole forever - both drunk and sober. The fact that this divorce isn’t going his way is absolutely delightful.
Why should it?
I really hope you play a soundtrack of applause on a long loop today and think of all of us cheering you on.
I fucking love it when people have to suffer the consequences of their bad choices. I am still heated about that bullshit he unloaded on you in the initial conversation. He really did think he was going to be able to get away with all of it.
Wow. It seems like it went as well as it could have. I'm really impressed with your ability to stick the script and then get on your way. What relief you must feel! I'm really glad you're doing something fun with your DD today and tonight. We'll be thinking of you this weekend!
Is it weird to be totally envious of a complete stranger? Your strength is seriously beyond admirable. Your "because I'm done" needs to be put on a t-shirt.
Oh man, that sounds like a big conversation (big news) and you did an amazing job of keeping your head in the game, and staying calm, confident and controlled.
Yeah if a cupcake or 3 sounds good, go for it and I hope you feel proud of this move for yourself 💙

I am proud of you.
this is still where I am, too! Like, he had the fucking audacity to be pissy about this when HE TOLD YOU FIRST HE WAS DONE. I hate him and I am just SO SO SO proud of you, starbust.
Calories don't count this weekend. You are amazing. He totally thought you were going to cry and beg and promise to do whatever he wanted. Don't be surprised if he tries to manipulate you in the coming weeks. I have complete faith that you will be able to maintain boundaries with him. ((hugs))
Congratulations! That step is one of the hardest parts of divorce. I hope you feel like a weight is lifting. You are well on your way to a happier life. Treat yourself!

Thank you everyone, the encouragement means more than you know. In a weird twist, I was just now able to remove my wedding rings for the first time in over a year. I've finally lost enough weight that they came off. They aren't going back on.
I know how hard this must be, but I'm so happy for you because I know you're going to be so much better off and overall happier when you're on the other side of this!!!!
I walked around to my driver's side and got in, he walked toward the house and then walked back to my car. I cracked the window and he said "So we'll put the house on the market around June 1st?" I said sure. I think in that moment the only thing he could think of was try tothreaten me with the loss of the house, like I haven't already thought that through.
