She’s Leaving Her Husband And Writing Him A Note Instead Of Telling Him To His Face
It’s been a decade that this 32-year-old woman has been with her 40-year-old husband, and she says that he’s unfortunately pretty emotionally abusive.
There are so many examples of her husband behaving like this that it’s too much to even begin to list out.
Over the winter, she tried to leave her husband, but he threatened to throw her belongings on the front lawn and lock her out of their home if she did. So, she didn’t. She didn’t leave him.
“He also has a DV charge from a past relationship (that I did not know about until a few years into our relationship) from when she was leaving him,” she explained.
“It was a long time ago, but its still a concern. He is not an evil person, he is just not in control of his emotions/reactions.”
“I still love him, but love is not enough. I’m not claiming to be a saint either, but I’ve been going to therapy and trying everything to work on our relationship, and he refuses to go to counseling.”
On many occasions, she can easily see her husband’s wonderful qualities, but that doesn’t change the fact that their marriage is now toxic.
She is finally ready to leave her husband, and while she would prefer to give him the courtesy of a conversation so he’s not shocked, she feels that is unwise.
She doesn’t want to risk her husband doing something to harm her, which wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibilities given his behavior in the past.

All of her loved ones have implored her not to tell her husband that she is leaving him until she’s out of the house completely.
She’s honestly not doing well mentally now that she has decided to leave her husband, and she’s planning on writing him the below note in lieu of telling him her plans in person.
“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to say,” she wants to put in the note. “I’ve decided that I need space and time from our relationship. It was a long and hard road for me to come to this decision.”
“I wanted to tell you in person so my leaving wouldn’t be such a shock, but I had genuine concerns about having this talk face to face. I know this hurts. My instinct is to be there for you to help you through the pain, but I am dealing with my own pain and barely holding on. I really need to focus on my own mental and physical health right now.
“I am sure you have a million questions, but I ask that you give us both some time to process before we communicate on the phone, and I think it is best if we limit contact in general for now. I only want to handle this with kindness and fairness.”
“I will always love you, and you deserve to be happy just as much as I do. Please take care of yourself.”
What do you think about her decision to write this note to her husband?
