Reply #7: I divorced my husband over money [View All]

But not because I wanted luxury items. I've always been proud that I wasn't a material girl. Five months after we married (too quickly) he quit his job and just plain refused to work. Oh he would work around the house, cook dinner, clean, but would not get another job. I had to threaten to leave before he went to work again. Then it was one thing after another to cause him to quit, get fired, on and on. I tried to encourage him, believe in him, give him the benefit of the doubt. Then I finally faced it, I was his meal ticket. And I had a 12 year old child of my own to raise, on a secretary's salary. The only answer was divorce. He immediately moved in with a woman (about the same age as his mom) and now lives off of her. Sometimes, when we've made bad choices the only option is to get the fuck out.
