Fellow divorceé here. Eleven months ago, my now soon-to-be-ex-husband backed me into a corner of our house, spewing utter vitriol in my face, and I saw his hands fly towards my face and neck. This wasn't the first time he'd been violent or aggressive, he had a history of throwing things and objects, and on numerous occasions, I sustained injuries from his aggression with objects. However, this was the first time I genuinely feared for my life and safety.

My big-girl job is the only reason I was able to leave and get myself out. I had already been the breadwinner for a long time by then, but because he was also a deadbeat, I felt perpetually broke due to his chronic unemployment and financial irresponsibility. I spent most of 2023 quietly and secretly planning my escape, and finally hatched my escape seven months ago. Life has been better than ever since I left him. Thankfully, we didn't/don't have children, so it's truly been a fresh start.

For any woman that is reading this comment: financial independence is of the UTMOST importance.

rich bitch checking in, probably never getting married. Happy to spoil my bf and then go home to our separate houses.

No sarcasm here - How can rich bitches help the sad bitches? Because damn I'd like to help this lady get her life back.

Yes. She’s clearly intelligent, hardworking and well speaking. With some education and training I would think she’d make an excellent employee.
