My marriage is over:( OMG email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 86/100. BellasmamaTiff (1652)   ranked 914 out of 26,491 in life3 months ago

I had no idea that anything was even wrong! My husband and I have been actively trying to conceive a baby, in the process of buying a house, and just purchased a new vehicle together. We had a huge argument over finances on June 2nd, and I went for a walk to cool off, when I came home, everything was in the dumpster or on the front lawn!!! My heart is broken...and I went from having a wonderful life, to struggling AGAIN. I lost my job, went to a homeless shelter with my 3 year old daughter, and now, we are in a housing program for single homeless mothers. I just got a new job, although just at mcdonalds, and we have a cute little apartment. But, my heart is still breaking. I thought he would come around by now. I don't know what to do. Should I try to get him back or should I just continue moving forward and make a life for myself and my daughter?? Someone give me some advice please!

Oh that is so sad, to be honest I think if he has just up and left you and your daughter in that way, to live in a homeless shelter then I think it would be best to try on your own, I think that is a cruel unthinking thing for a father to do...if he came back to you and begged and promised i think it might be worth a shot maybe...but I would go after him, he has to really want to make a go of it I think..i wish you well...

you shouldn't try to get a guy like that again just because you had an argument, you should move forward make your life with your daughter, hopefully you'll find a better and more understanding man, one who can apparently cool off sooner.

I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling but I'm glad you wree able to get help for you and your daughter!!

I am sorry to hear you have such a hard time

It is not easy to give advice about these things. Only you can know what will be best for you really. I think that if you do consider taking up the relationship again you should get some counselling. It does not sond like a good place to be when he just trows you out like that. It is not a secure and safe situation for you or your child.

I wish you luck in finding the best way to go

You had a fight a month ago and he hasn't contacted you or gone looking for you yet? It sounds like you are better off and safer without him. Get some free legal advice from the homeless program and find out what your options are. I would hate for him to be able to go to court and say you stole the baby and take her away from you.
You must find out what your legal rights, responsibilities and options are.
Keep doing what you are doing for the good of your daughter. Good luck!

..oh.. I'm sorry for what happened to you. That's really terrible. However, you have to stand firm and be strong. Try your best to be optimistc and don't let the situation press you down because the more stressed you are, the more burdened you will feel.If you want to win your husband back, and if you believe in God, you pray that He will enlighten you and your husband so that you can be in good terms again. It is also important that you talk to him face to face . But you have to wait for the right time when you feel you can face him and he can face you too. aAtleast, you'll know the real reason why that thing happened. I know and I believe that everything will be alright in God's own time. Just be strong, be firm, be positive and ask God to provide your needs especially good health to you and your daughteer. God bless.

All of this happened since June 2nd?
You say everything was in the dumpster, why couldn't you go back into your house? Where did he go?
Have you been in contact with him since?
I am asking these questions, trying to understand how it got so out of control.

He basically left you out in the cold, if I were you I wouldn't rush back to him so soon.
He did not consider his daughter, when you were forced to be homeless.
Be careful with your decision, don't compromise you and your daughter's well being.
Wishing you luck.

Sorry to hear about what your going through, but now is the time for you, to stand on your own two feet, and make a life for yourself. My husband was messing with drugs, that what broke my marriage up.
I had to raise my son myself,he was one years old, but I did it and now he is 17, going on 18 this year. I am proud of how I raised my son, if I can do it so can you.

You are caught between a rock and a hard place, BellasmamaTiff. All you can do is follow your heart lead my your mind. You have your little one to consider and that really complicates things. Coming from a similiar situation I can only offer you support and comforting words. What I did was ask myself if I wanted my children to be raised to think that the way my husband treated us was okay and acceptable; the answer was a resounding NO so I basically raised them alone. I do not suggest single parenting to anyone, it is sooooo hard, but I don't believe it healthy to raise children in the mist of emotional turmoil. Bottom line is you gotta do what works for you and your child regardless of what others think or say. Search inside yourself and decide on a course of action and them implement it. Be flexible and willing to adapt as necessary, and never be afraid to ask for help. Good luck, your fellow mylotters are here for you if you need support. Although my heart is broken for you, I realize this is just the beginning of a new chapter in your life which is full of amazing possibilities.

Things to be learned from this experience: Take life a little slower, you do not have to have everything all at once which may cause undue stress and anxiety and out-in-out fear in some people. Be ready for anything, you never know what life will throw at you. Love yourself, do not rely on others doing it for you. Family first, always honor your responsibility to your children. Living well is the best revenge. Get a good lawyer, and always remember to smile. (:

Too bad I can't swear on here. I'm not a swearing person but I could think of a few nasty words for guys like him.
What a shame, obviously he wasn't the person you thought he was. Don't bother trying to get him back, just hold your head high and be strong for your child. If you go back with him you will only live in fear that he might throw you out again, then you would be right back at square one. Try to be confident and lead him to believe that you are doing better without him, that's the best revenge if you ask me.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your child.

Thank you Thank you Thank you....I need the support of people like you. Thanks so much.


myLot reputation of 58/100. WhatsHerName (1506)   ranked 5,413 out of 26,491 in life  3 months ago

Well I don't know you but I'm proud of you. I'm proud of any woman who doesn't crawl and beg her way back into a dead end relationship.
I went through it and now I'd rather be alone than to loose my self respect again over some ignorant selfish man.

I am so sorry to hear about your troubles. I would think he would have come around. Just wirry about you and your daughter for now and get yourselves settled. make sure you get child support don't let him get away with not paying.. I have heard so many woman not going for child support.
Best of luck to you and keep us posted on how you both are doing
Just my 2 cents
