You Know What I'm...

Really fvcking sick of?

People asking me if I'm sure about the divorce. If one more person says something along the lines of "can't you just make him sleep in the garage for 6 months until he 'gets it'?", I'm gonna cuttabitch.

You know.. because I haven't given this a lot of thought over a really long period of time.

    Yeah, cause 6 months in a garage is going to make him change.  I don't know the specifics about what happened between you guys but I think you have every right to go off on people who ask such a stupid question.  From the little bit that I have read on here it appears you have done everything possible prior to making this very difficult decision and I am sorry people are not supporting you more.

    Exactly. If he doesn't "get it" living with you, sleeping with you, eating with you, traveling with you... sleeping in the dog house isn't going to magically wake him up to being essentially a different person.

    It's just so insulting for people to ask you that, as if them prompting you is going to make you change your mind. "Oh, wow, you know what? I'm NOT sure. Thank you for pointing that out to me!"

  • People just don't know how to keep their mouths shut. I'm sorry, CD. It's so cliche, but I promise in time the comments and advice stop.

    & that's the thing... It's not even about him "getting it" at this point. It is so far beyond that. We're two very different people who need very different things. It just doesn't work.

    The same person was like "But you were such a cute little wifey! Always baking & your house is adorable!" Well all of that is fvcking great, but it doesn't make a marriage. Grow up.

    Hmm That's stellar logic. I know it most likely comes from a place of caring & concern, but why people feel it's appropriate to weigh in on other peoples marriages completely baffles me.

  • I've had some idiotic questions, it especially annoys me when someone in the family is asking them. No grandma, we didn't come to this decision lightly and we tried everything. Yes I know this comes as a surprise because I didn't blab to everyone about how miserable we were the last three years, that would have been inappropriate.

    Don't you LOVE that? I love when relative strangers tell me that we seemed so happy & this is so shocking. Indifferent

    I had the awful comments from family too. They just didn't get it. Luckily, most of the people I dealt with day to day knew how miserable I was even if I never told them about it. 

    I got the brunt of the awful comments when it came to my house. Everyone had something to say about what to do about it. I didn't want their advice, I wanted to get rid of it. Ugh, people suck.
