I think that I'm better off by myself, although maybe not happy, because the relationships I've had were extremely abusive. My daughter's father almost broke my arm... People tell me that I should get over it and try to be happy, but I don't really trust anyone to allow myself to be happy. I'm married but I haven't seen my husband in a year, he won't allow me to get a divorce cause he says he'd rather be a widower than a divorcee... I don't think I want to be alone for the remainder of my life... but I just don't see myself with anyone. Has anyone ever been through this?

Good grief. Yes. My husband of 37 and 1/2 years was abusive and neglectful in equal parts. He wanted to stay married, "So, he could keep all his money." (We were not rich.) Well. No. That is unacceptable. I am now divorced for 1 year. I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life, either. This is still better than living with someone or apart from them but holding on to something that is an abomination of marriage. I should have done this a long time ago. He really can't stop you from divorcing him. Find out what you need to do and begin taking care of yourself.
I wish you well.

Have him served after you move and dont go out with anyone holding a crack pipe. Dont date anyone you meet in a club. And most of all understand its not you with the issue. Anyone who hurts physically needs help.

You need to go to therapy. if you have been abused, you almost always will pick those type of men to get with, and if you did find a good guy, you would try to drive him away. you should be on your own until you have gone for help, and understand what you need to fix. good luck and God bless.
