Wow, that is pretty similar to what happened to me, huh? I am also growing more grateful every day.

There are times I miss being part of a marriage.
Then I remember that what I had wasn't actually a partnership, that the one I'd married thinking we would support each other turned out to be a dependent, mean-spirited, and at times vengeful little boy who blamed me for his own shortcomings. It would take a lot these days to get me to share the bathroom and the remote. I've been a free woman for 25 years now, wary of traps, grateful for peace and solitude.

Yes, it was a typo.
Tim told me that he had gone to a massage parlor and the lady had practically raped him and made him come with only putting on a condom on him. We all know that Tim is quite overweight and not 17 anymore and this is not American Pie. My parents urged me to confront him because it sounded like a lot more happened than that, and it turns out he did get a hand job from her and some oral. To some it might not be considered cheating, but it is to me. In any case, that isn't the only reason why I left him, obviously.

Yes, I am aware of how lucky I am in that respect. They have been very, very supportive.

Well, I suppose he must think I was the witch that drove him away.

Who is Tom? Was that a typo? How did your parents come to the conclusion that he cheated on you? I'm not saying I don't believe, it, just curious.

Its so good that your family was supportive. So many women leave abusive
marriages only to find they have no support from family.

So very often accepting that it's time to move on is such a relief to both parties - even the one who rocked the boat and ultimately made it topple over. After all, there's no boat rocking going on if someone is truly happy. The person who strays is usually living in a quiet hell as well.
(I'm not condoning his behavior for a moment, by the way).
