I Did It

Date: 3/16/2019

It was a busy time... getting ready for my kids' birthdays and birthday parties or some such, and I was stressed, overwhelmed, overworked, and just generally felt like I was drowning. I NEEDED some help and some backup getting everything ready. Alas, however, my husband was nowhere to be seen. After a few days of flaky behavior on his part, I found him laying down in the other room. He was doing the, pathetic for a grown-up thing where he pretended he'd been sleeping, and that I'd woken him up. After asking repeatedly where he'd been, he told me the story about how everything was getting busy and stressful, and he'd needed some time to himself, so he'd gone out for a while. While he was out, he met some chick, and they started talking, and then he started getting feelings for her. It was okay, though, because he hadn't slept with her... He wanted to run that by me first to make sure I'd be okay with it. Besides, he wasn't going to leave me, so it was fine. It was NOT fine, and I was NOT okay with it, and I finally snapped because I couldn't take this anymore, and I went off on him. He didn't see why he'd done anything wrong, and seemed legitimately surprised when I finally left him. I was scared, and had no idea where I was going to go, or what I was going to do, but I finally realized that I had no hope of a future staying with him.
