She followed me around the house yelling at me with our 2 year old in her hands. We had an agreement to talk things out later and not in front of the kid. Almost 7 years on and that anger hasn't changed.

Years ago I had a service job route Made decent money. She went to school ba then mba good job I was still at the same place. Went to company trip she had. After words she told me do you know how embarrassing it it to be married to a man with his name on his shirt. ? I was pissed off at first I guess. Then told her I was done. Guess it was a good move for me I then stepped it up became a manager where I worked. Retired now

Reading the "we're gonna get caught" and "I love you"s on her phone with the boyfriend.

When I found out about her stealing almost 100k from her federal job.

Married in the church, I was his first everything. He came out as gay and asked me to stay and let me know I could have as many partners as I wanted if I kept our “young marrieds” persona up for the church and his family. I can’t live a lie.

When he woke me up at 4 in the morning to scream at me before I had to go to work at 6. Dumped him right then and there

When I was in the hospital for 2 weeks he brought his girlfriend and her kids over to swim in our pool. They are married now.

Her boyfriend showed up to my sister's birthday dinner. This happened a few weeks after he attacked me in a Wendy's parking lot. Which in itself occurred a few months after she threw her her wedding ring at me and slapped me in front of a line of people waiting to get into a club. It took me a while.

He told me that it wasn’t his problem that my parents did not love me, advised that we should re-sign the rental agreement because “we’re fine if you do everything I tell you to”

Got my plan together and broke up with him the next time he screamed at me.

She was constantly in her phone and it was like I wasn’t even there. One Sunday, after having a big bushy beard for years, decided to shave to a goatee. She didn’t notice. A couple hours later I shaved so I just had a mustache. She didn’t notice. So I started shaving each side of mustache little by little. She didn’t notice the Charlie Chaplin mustache I had until the next morning.

Went to go see my favorite band in a city a couple hours away, husband didnt even ask who i was going with, where i was staying. I had such a phenomenal time i bought tickets in our city for the following night.

Told him he didnt have to go, id be happy to find someone else to go with. He insisted on going. 20 minutes into the opener hes lashing out and just being so mean to me for no reason. Made a big show of, i can stay and watch while he sits in the car and waits for me.

Knew it was done immediately after he walked out

He came after me and wrapped his hands around my throat after terrorizing the children and making them admit he was scaring them. It took a bit to get the ducks in a row to physically leave…but that was the moment when I felt something physically snap in my head and I no longer gave a single f about him and his issues.

The day my mom suddenly passed away. We went to inform my sister and he spent the entire time texting instead of being there for either of us. My mom was one of my best friends and he did almost nothing to comfort me or help me through my grief.

Our youngest son is severely autistic. We had him diagnosed. Out of 12 sessions to speak to various specialists, he turned up to 1. After getting the diagnosis, we were offered a course on how to manage it. He skipped all of them. He did have to work, but as he was self-employed, he could have been more flexible in planning. The last one came when he decided to do something for his hobby rather than go to the course.

He asked me when our kid would start his meds. There are no meds for autism. Which he would know, had he done any sort of research whatsoever on the topic. I bought him 5 books on it. He never opened any of them.

Freaking physical violence. I took a year to plan it out with a DV place and a bad union lawyer. We were married for five years. First, last, and worst.

Had some evidence of cheating in December. Confronted her and asked her to confess, she denied and made excuses for the evidence. Went to couples therapy for a few months to dissect the situation and our marriage. Gave her countless chances over that same time period to confess. It was clear to me it was happening, but she kept lying to me.

Sometime in early spring she finally confessed. After months of sleeping in the same bed and having intimacy with someone who was not only cheating on me, but lying to my face countless times about doing so, there was nothing left to work on.

We had been married 6 months. Crazy thing is if she had come out and admitted it in December I think I would have been willing to try and work through things.

Her refusal to disclose her HIV status. Note: I hadn't touched her intimately in two years because of her multiple affairs. Been tested numerous times and pm 100 percent ok. There were/are multiple STDs before the big one became known.

For my friend who got a divorce the final straw was her husband threatening to divorce her to get his way.

Made the mistake of opening up our marriage. We were both into it, but when I had some reservations and concerns, she didn't consider "us" only "her".

The final straw always boils down to when one partner sees "me vs ..." instead of "us vs ...".

I found myself thinking about how much easier my life would be if he passed away and I had his life insurance payout.

We had so many conflicts that it wasn't any one thing, it was everything, and I definitely didn't want to be married.
