  I left my husband for physical abuse. Left my bf, who i was so in love with, cause he was obsessed with porn, and 3somes!

  Left my first husband because he gambled away every dime we had; which left me and our daughter destitute. Took me about a year to figure out it was never going to get better. I left him and never looked back.

  However, I had a friend whose husband's drug addiction took every penny she had. It took her over 10 years to get rid of him, despite having three kids.

  Guess everyone has different thresholds of tolerance.

  Honesty

  It took the loss of her love, combined with 24hr/day stress from continuous looks of distain, silent treatments, total lack of affection, etc. When it came to the point that my health was breaking, and some timeous observations (about my health) from some true friends, it was finally time to let go.

  Were we married to sisters, LT?

  I thought my ex only had 2 sisters but she must have an identical twin who was left behind when the family fled Communist Europe and immigrated to North America.

  It took a year and a half to get legally free from her crazy antics and another 6 months of therapy to free myself from the abuse but it was well worth the effort because not only did I get free from an abusive spouse but I also managed to break free from an abusive 'mother' at the same time.

  it took one night, 15 years gone in maybe 6 hours, I still haven't left (10 months later), but I know it's over, I can't forgive her and her family, I've tried, did all I could do, I am glad I tried, because I know in my heart I gave it all I could, I wasn't perfect, I made mistakes, I neglected her at times, BUT, she still should not of did what she did (slept with someone, with no sleeping), and her family covered it up and laughed about it, that really hurt more in a way. But I plan on exiting soon, before Labor day weekend, as I piece things together, do the lawyer thing, and get my things in order. Advice to all and listen, DON'T EVER THINK IT'S OK TO GO OUTSIDE THE RELATIONSHIP, NO MATTER HOW BAD IT IS !!!! end it first, then screw anyone you want, just my thoughts.

  Refusing to contribute financially

  What about in the case where it is the wife who refuses and\or constantly makes excuses about her lack of contributing financially, yet alway finds the time for meeting attendance, a new study or helping the "friends" out on your dime?

  Does she cook and clean and take care of the kids?

• Adultery.
• Physical/verbal abuse.
• Alcohol/drug/food/children abuse.
• Refusing to contribute financially

I left 2 spouses for all of the above reasons. My 3 kids are 18, 16 and 12, and they are awesome! I know they would not be doing as well if I had stayed in my horrible previous marriages. I was a single mom of 3 kids for 7 years. I am proud to say that I always had a job, place to live, a car, clothes and food and medical benefits; and I always made sure my kids never changed schools due to my divorces so that they could keep their circle of friends when their worlds were messed up. So I get really pissed off at people who neglect their kids! There is no reason to let other people abuse you or your children.
