This is going to be a short one.
My ex husband was abusive. He was a terrible man and treated me and the kids awfully. He tried to cut me off from my family and friends, and repeatedly accused me of cheating (I had to work two jobs to pay the bills while going to school full time, while he quit his job to go to school four hours a day).
I finally got fed up with his accusations and said what do you want me to do? Just go out on the street and f‘ck the next guy I see so you can have what you want?
He attacked me. Then smashed his own head off a wall. I ran to a neighbour‘s apartment and called the police. The neighbour said I could stay at his place for a couple of days. I left because he attempted to rape me while I was sleeping. I ended up staying in a women‘s shelter.
A few years later, I met a great guy. He is very good to me and willing to wait to be married until the divorce (finally) goes through. We are having a baby together.
He is also an actor, incredibly hot, and ten years younger than me.
I guess the point of my post (at long last lol) is that I am tired of people accusing me of trading my husband in for a newer, younger model. I‘m tired of my peers practically high fiving me as they drool over him and ask how I managed to land such a succulent "piece of meat" (one of them literally used that phrase). I am really tired of 16 year old girls saying the poor guy needs to get away from that nasty old lady, and they are just the superwoman for the job.
I love him so much, and he loves me. We have a lot in common, and the last thing I like about him is his age. I hate cartoons, pokemon cards, rpgs, in fact i‘m not sure I know what the hell they are.....
But it took quite a while for him to convince me to be with him because I knew what people would say. I‘m tired of being judged and ladies, if you meet a guy who is really great, single, and you‘re single but you are afraid of what people will say, tell them to can it because you‘re happy :)
