So my marriage is over. It hurts a lot, I wasn't really expecting him to leave me. We'd been struggling every now and then for a while but I thought the struggles were over. I've moved in with my mother and sister for the time being.

He was always pretty controlling, I just didn't see it. I was blinded by the love I had for him. He didn't like me to blog, he didn't want me to use a real picture of myself on my Discord profile, and he kept me on a small weekly allowance among things.

I know I'll be better for not having him in my life but it still hurts. I gave ten years of myself to him and nothing I did was ever enough to make him happy.
