As for him not paying child support, lol that's not how it works. When you go to court for a divorce usually child support and visitations are part of the proceedings. Hope things get better for you, just be there for your child and keep your head up is all you can do right now. Also his behavior (abusiveness) is escalating, if he does come back, keep a watch out for this. |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 4727082 United States 08/25/2012 10:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | maybe you stressed him out really bad , so he left to find some strange. Quoting: SealsofSeven just saying.... I would agree with the stressed him out really bad, not all of my fault but some of it is. The thing is, he's really weird about sex. He's super self-conscious and the girl he dated prior to me kept cheating on him and he took it! Lately he's been wanting to get into more S&M stuff and so I'm not sure if he'd be able to perform for a stranger. I wouldn't want him back if he slept with someone else. That sux, Doesnt sound too promising Ladies, stay away from the nerds and the wanna be yuppies, They always have sexual kinks and are super obsessed with money. Get yourself a good home grown, farm boy or midwesterner that likes flea markets and fairs and comedies.. Ive never freaked out like that on my woman, never yelled at her about money, never had sexual perversions. I get by appreciating Gods green earth, and my dream vacation is at my fishing cabin near the lakes . As long as I have a sound roof over my head, good food. loving wife, What more is there to ask for?.. HE WAS FROM KANSAS!!! I actually dated a guy from New Jersey (where I attended university for a time) and SWORE I would NEVER date a yuppie/nerd again. I just didn't take into consideration that the package is just that...the wrapping. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11696035 Clean less; get a part-time job. We tried but day care cost more than my paychecks were bringing in. So now that he's gone, you'll still be paying daycare. WTF is your plan other than being his dependent? It's a TEAM not a husband + cleaning lady. That's what Consuela immigrated for. I understand your point, but this is what we've set up and he was happy with it. I'm actually a full time Radiology student and will complete my degree by May (IF he comes back and we go to our routines) and will make MUCH more than him. We always had the plan of me getting my degree, going to work full time and him switching to part time while he finishes his degree. I try to take as much stress off of him as possible (with the exception of the fights about finances) but obviously I was not doing enough. Maybe you are both just living above your means if finances are an issue, and you can't be a student/mom at the same time. Both are expensive endeavors both time and money wise. Let's put it this way: what's left after all the NEEDS (not wants) are paid for? percentage wise |

I don't have any advice for you but if he walks out on you and stays gone and leaves to fend for yourself then you are better off without his sorry ass. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 22606548 Australia 08/25/2012 10:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi OP you sound like a nice enough woman, and I normally dont respond to these type of threads but I'll make an exception, simply because your where mature enough to state you are not blameless, which is rare. You dont appear to be playing the victim for self vindication. OK, here is my take. Your hubby, as a child used to throw temper tantrums. As a result, the parenting applied was one of punishment to those temper tantrums, instead of parenting based on emotional guidance. Now, as he does not have an authoritarian punishment reaction to his tempers, he now has free reign to act out. It is a classic dummy spit and flounce. Now. When he comes back (note this is when not if) make sure he is not coming back because he finds it "too tough" to "live without you", and he "is sorry". (how many times have you heard that?) If he displays that reasoning you are dealing with a manchild. How do I know? I was one. It was only with brutal self evaluation that I overcame that crap, and now never lose my shit in that way. I now am able to stand my ground and communicate in a way to achieve a resolution, and in a calm manner. The only way I was able to do that is with humility, and recognising what is important, and what had been imprinted on my emotional growth. You will also need to make some tough choices here too. Hope that helps. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22107436 United States 08/25/2012 10:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hopefully he is like my husband and will come home in a few hours when he's calmed down. Quoting: alexisj9 I hope so, but he's accusing me of 'checking out'. I asked him, 'is this it?' Apparently that was the wrong thing to say because he turned on me and started yelling at me. When we first found out I was pregnant his response was 'so I guess you got what you wanted.' He didn't even look at me. Over the course of the pregnancy, if I got even a little upset, he would get in my face and scream at me. Finger pointing, spit flying, everything. We went to counseling for about 2 months and then he quit going. Our son was born and the finances really got tight and during our 'discussion', even while I was nursing, he would get in my face and scream at me. A couple of months ago he threw a broom at me but luckily it hit the door frame to the hallway (hard enough to bend it). I've got tired of the behavior and started harping on him all of the time. I'm not blameless here either, but I never did anything like he did. I tried to sit on his suit case to prevent him from leaving (stupid, yes) and he picked it up and threw me off of it. He said he's not going to pay child support, he doesn't care about me, all of this nasty stuff. He sounds like a real pussy. Anybody who treats a woman this way, especially the mother of his child, is a pussy. It sounds like you would be better off without him. And yes, he WILL pay child support. Him not giving a shit about you does not get him off the hook for supporting the kid he fathered. You have been a stay at home wife for two years? If so, depending on the state, you may also be entitled to alimony. |

I don't know; I think it's turning into a very unhealthy home for our son. He's never full out hit me, grabbed my hair, anything like that...but he has thrown stuff at me and lately he's been very verbally abusive. Let him go. You don't need that shit in your life and your child certainly doesn't. |

Not to make a joke, but you could hide yourself and your kid, but then again if you hide yourself when he really needs you, could back-fire.. so just chill and maybe give him some affection where he needs it most to make him chill "what would you do if you, knew all the things we knew.

Get rid of that car, and get a cheaper one. That car payment is eating up too much of your income. If your income is only $2,000 a month, you should be eligible for a state medical program, where your premiums are based on your income. My youngest is on the state program, and I pay $22 a month for her insurance. You need to apply for food stamps. All of your living expenses would count, but not that car payment. Are you getting WIC for your son? I think you might be income eligible, check with the local WIC office. You could get vouchers for milk, cheese, cereal, juice,eggs, etc. Every little bit helps. DO NOT QUIT SCHOOL,no matter how tough it gets. You need the education to support your son.You only have to hang on until May when you graduate, then it will be easier for you.
