Our marriage lasted 25 yrs, however,
I was the one in the marriage with
alcohol addiction, entered recovery
thru a family intervention at about
8 yrs marriage.
I have continued on with my recovery
life exiting the marriage peacefully.
My husband didn't have an addiction
problem so our marriage suffered due
to lack of understanding and communication
on both sides. He was a good husband,
supportive, a good dad to our 2 kids.
I often felt sad and bad that he was
the calm in all my storms of life. I also
felt like he was the angel to put up with
me for all our yrs together.
We were not perfect, just human.
He didn't want to end the marriage
yet I had a gut feeling neither one of
us were exactly happy in the marriage
anymore. Something needed to happen
for me to set him free and allow him to
have as much as me and achieve some
happiness in our lives.
Thru my recovery program, doing all
that I needed to do to try and move
forward, my prayers were answered
and thus found a way to leave and
return to my hometown with a new
job. That became my golden ticket out
of the marriage and my husband didn't
stop me yet support me and helped me
move safely.
We both have moved on in our lives,
both remarried, no communication
tho.
I am in my 7th yr marriage with 25
yrs sobriety living a healthy, happy ,
honest life all to the best of my human
ability.
We shouldn't have to suffer in our
lives, marriages, jobs, etc. If you
have done all that you can to save
your marriage and there is still no
hope, then leaving wouldn't be wrong.
You wouldn't want to leave saying
later on in life, you could have saved
it if the 2 of you had done more to make
it work.
Take care of you leaving no stone unturned
and find happiness in your life once again.
