TheLoveDoctor I know but like I said our marriage is about over anyway.

BabyCheezits don't be sad, I'm not. I'll get through this!

Snoozy Good point I didn't think about that!

No JW's don't leave their spouses if one leaves. But he's very controlling and the elders think he can do no wrong.

Welcome Sweetmochasista . . . 3 years eh? . . . you've been thinking about this for some time then

Sounds like you just need those income needs met and your outa there! . . . do you have any worldly friends or family that can help out temporarily? Being free from all the pretence and obligations being in your position lays on you, will give you more manouvering room to get your act sorted . . . just a thought.

Don't get hung up too much on what the WT requirements and protocols are . . . that's what you're leaving behind. Just let him know when you've shagged someone and leave them to it.

Hi, sista! And welcome! I wonder how far apart we are, I'm in GA.

Ah, the control. It's learned from the top down. Just remember, personal boundaries! No one gets to treat you how you don't want to be treated or force you to do something you don't want to. I love your attitude about it, you're looking forward and positive.

Don't let your husband BS you. If he leaves you, he'll be obligated to at least pay child support, if not alimony. Do you have an education or skill? That will be the key to your freedom. He can be as controlling as he wants to be, but he's stil bound by laws of your state and country. You're an adult and have the right to make your own decisions. If he becomes threatening or physically abusive, use the law for what it has been intended.

Hi! Nice to hear from you! And jamiebowers is right, don't let that bully take control over you! You have our support and good thoughts :) be strong!

Yes I have a few worldy friends. I was born and raised a JW my dad was an elder but stoped going about about six years ago. My brother is still in but dosen't belive in god. My mom is a true jw, she thinks they can do no wrong and most of her family are jw's.
