I just need to vent and see if anyone has any suggestions.<p>H does not support family financially. He does help out but I make the entire house and car payments, half the groceries & utilities, etc.<p>Found myself strapped and forged his name to a loan......H found out 2 1/2 years ago. I know I shouldn't have done it but it's done & overwith. H has not communicated except to rant & rave about other faults he finds in me.<p>He is always telling me to file for divorce. Finally had it and did. Then he tells me that he doesn't want a divorce and started threatening me with other lawsuits involving a business that I formerly had a controlling interest in if I went through with it. <p>To make a long story short, I dismissed the divorce. H is still out of the house. Thought he wouldn't come home because the house was too messy for him. I know I am a horrible housekeeper but have been working away trying to get things straighened around in my junk room.<p>Tonight he said he would give me one week to get the entire house, basement, kitchen cabinets, etc. cleaned & if it wasn't done, he was going to file for divorce.<p>The stress from the past 2 1/2 years has finally taken it's toll. My blood pressure is sky high. In the past it has been low.<p>He has been coming around wanting sex. I feel as if I am being used. If I don't give him what he wants, I'll take more verbal abuse. <p>I told him a month ago when we were discussing reconciliation that I would like to be taken out on a date and gave him some other suggestions on how I would like to be treated but he doesn't have time for me. He has never had time for me in the 25 years we have been married.<p>Of course, everything is always my fault. I MAKE him throw & break things. It is impossible to carry on a civilized conversation with him.<p>Thanks for letting me vent.

Sister,<p>You are being USED....he divorcing you will be a blessing <p>No one should rob you of who you are and he is doing that. You have your rights and you are a person..."A SPECIAL ONE" and the more you say that to yourself...girl... you are going to start believing it...so what the heck...let him divorce you and feel good about himself. You, on the other hand gotta keep your head on your shoulders.
