Last month I asked my husband for a divorce. He was spending all our week-ends on overnight fishing trips, making frivolous spending decisions without consulting me, and walking around with irritable mood swings. After 1 year of trying, reading books, therapy, etc. I realized that it takes 2 people to be in a marriage. I gave him the ultimatum before and he would straighten out for a while, but then want to do whatever he wanted to go again with no regard for me. When I confronted him about his mood swings the last time, he shrugged his shoulders and said "what mood swings." He is suppossed to take medication, but does so when he wants. I am exhausted in this relationship, and wanted out. He agreed with no fight, yet now that the papers are here for him to sign he is trying to make me feel guilty that it is my fault. What makes a 47 year old man think that he can have his cake and eat it too? Can someone help me understand this behavior?
