Think back to that defining moment. You know, the one where you knew the marriage was over, that all bets were off. Here, the ladies of of "The D Word" discuss when they knew their marriages had come to an end. What was your last straw?
I still am amazed when I recall this. My ex agreed to see a marriage counselor. By this time, he had a girlfriend he was seeing, and the counselor told him we couldn't proceed with any meaningful couples therapy unless he was willing to commit to not seeing or contacting his girlfriend for 30 days. In the counselors office, right in front of me, he said. "No, I can not commit to doing that. I would miss my girlfriend too much." That was my final straw. We never went back.
When my husband met a new friend and his wife. I did not like these people and had a bad feeling about them every time I was around them. My husband really enjoyed time with these people and I promised my husband that I would try to become friends with them. One night while we were all hanging around their house, playing darts, my husband felt comfortable with his friends wife to pat her behind and whisper in her ear. I made mention of this behavior and he said I was just jealous and nothing was going on. Well needless to say her husband divorced her because of this relationship. I have proof that they became more then friends and this would not be the first affair my husband had. I knew with this incident that his behavior would never change and I was chasing a dream. He and his needs came first and I became very unimportant to him. He said that he will be friends with her for the rest of his life and I have no right to tell him who he can and can not be friends with.
