Destino Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Quote In the summer of 2022, I lost my mind. At first, it seemed I was simply overwhelmed because life had become very difficult, and I needed to — had every right to — blow off some steam. Our family was losing its apartment and had to find another one, fast, in a rental market gone so wild that people were offering over the asking price on rent. My husband, Keith, was preparing to publish a book, Raising Raffi, about our son, a book he’d written with my support and permission but that, as publication loomed, I began to have mixed feelings about. To cope with the stress, I asked my psychiatrist to increase the dosage of the antidepressant I’d been on for years. Sometime around then, I started talking too fast and drinking a lot. https://www.thecut.com/article/marriage-divorce-should-i-leave-my-husband-emily-gould.html You know how sometimes when you taste or smell something particularly awful you feel an urge to invite your friends to do the same? It’s in that spirit that I share this with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Everyone goes through this. I was the one to end a couple of my relationships. When it was over, it was over. I no longer had the same feelings, especially the one who was sleeping with someone else but wanted me still to support her. You can guess how far my feelings went with that one. So there's hurt feelings for a while and then I get on with life because it's not good to keep carrying on. Plus not having to deal with a formal contract process, it's easier to move on. There's not an artificial time element to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You read past the first paragraph. tl/dr this lady is crazy and it took her a while to figure it out. I read to the paragraph that started, “We decided to start divorce mediation…” I’ll slog through it, maybe it picks up. A divorce resulting from misalignment around approach to finances and household roles, along with career dissatisfaction isn’t something rare. She has celiac disease and goes to a wedding without a food plan? They get a new apartment with two tiny rooms and one larger room, and she naturally takes the larger room? 🥱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 She's a writer and her writing sucks. I just skimmed through it, maybe read 60 to 70%. Tldr; still married... also she cheated on him at one point (looks like when she thought it was over) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 I feel bad for Keith. This was her side of the story. No matter how honest she may imagine herself to be this was what happened cast in a positive light. He’s still trapped in this hostage situation for no reason greater than the heart wants what it wants. No doubt terrified of what might happen if his next book does well, and his wife decides to once again take his success as an intolerable offense.

Riggo-toni Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 We really need a vomit emoji reaction for stuff like this. I'm just glad I didn't bother clicking on the link. The last 2 sentences were evidence enough that this would be the rantings of a bat**** crazy woman who thinks nothing is her fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you missed my favorite part. Quote My husband would have to forgive me for cheating and wasting our money. I would have to forgive him for treading on my literary territory: our family’s life, my own life. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
