Good luck!

Thank you, everyone, for your support. I'll be sure to update you when there is news to share.

Good luck.

Haven't you two married just a few months ago?

What?? Abusive wife?? What happened? You were all about her just a few months ago, I think I've missed how it's progressed since then.

We've lived together for nearly 3 years but yes - we only wed about 7 months ago. The abuse and mental illness were present early on, but I remained patient (perhaps far longer than I should have) and was encouraging with the hope that she would seek counseling, medication, and be proactive to improve her situation.

Sadly, things only got worse after she moved in with me. And after a few of life's slings and arrows, she spiraled downward into severe mental illness, financial dependency, mania, rage fits, verbal abuse, a complete lack of hygiene, and generally stopped caring for herself.

I won't bore you with the gory details, but suffice it to say that she's been very sick for a long time and that the relationship has been irreparably unhealthy.

I've endured abusive relationships in the past - my last before the marriage was 7 years with a verbally and physically abusive hoarder who similarly let her life collapse and who was also completely financially dependent on me. I'm not going to wait through another 6 years of the same, and instead I'm taking the necessary action to better the circumstance for both myself and for my wife. This will force her to take responsibility for herself, to find a job, and to seek therapy.

I apologize for the mess. I'm tidying up presently.

Yesterday while walking into a movie theater some chick a few feet from me said, "Hey, cutie!" and it took me a few seconds to realize that she was talking to me. By this point I was already walking past her and going for the door so I didn't even say anything back, but I gotta say, kind of offended. Not because I was being singled out in public and objectified. That was nice. I felt degraded because she was a Shrekapotamus. I'm too shallow for this world.

Good luck with everything Spaceboy. It's good that you have the strength and foresight to make a good decision for yourself now before it gets worse.

:rofl:

You always make it seems like you have no standards but when presented with a very extreme slight possibility of getting pussy you shy away from it because you think you are better than that.

This time I was better than that tho.

Can you blame him? Who want's to have sex with someone they aren't attracted to?
