Fucks sake.

 

Had been going well for a while, then she found a bottle of rum I had been saving.

 

She drank it all, then got angry when I asked her about it. Said it was my fault for putting it somewhere she could find it. (At the back of a high shelf she would have to stand on a chair to get at. She knew I had the thing, must have searched for it).

 

Proceeded to tell me what an asshole I am for ruining her night by asking her about drinking it.

 

Tried to be nice and smooth things over, and she tells me how her life would be so much better if she had made different choices and if she felt she could take the kids and leave any time she wanted to - leaving me with nothing.

 

What the fuck is up with this whole manipulation thing???

 

 

Sounds like she has a lot of issues mate my Mrs is similar to be honest. i try to roll with the punches and remember she has issues but it's tough when they're in the wrong and switch it onto you

 

 

I've been there, although not married or had kids with this particular ex. No matter what you do it's your fault, your being ridiculously insensitive/rude/selfish, when in fact the exact opposite is demonstrably true.

 

I don't have any real advice unfortunately, but I feel your pain.

In all honesty, the only way to cope is to suck it up and let her control things. It would be nice to find another way to handle it.

Al, I think you need to take the bull by the horns and have a conversation about it. If you keep letting her get away with the emotional manipulation, then you'll feel like shit and she'll likely lose all respect for you.

 

You might be afraid of the outcome, but it needs to be done. You should tell her that.

You should tell her that it's obvious she's unhappy, and you're unhappy. And that you owe it to each other to try and be happy.

 

Tell her that you may be a humble bus driver so the words might not come out right, but everything comes from a place of love and respect. Tell her that Sandra Bullock started out as a bus driver and look at her now, an academy award winning actress.

 

Tell her that the emotional blackmail is a cunts trick, and she's not a cunt. Tell her you've become victims of the commercialisation of love and the human experience, which tells people they should have it all and now and plays on their self esteem so they'll buy a bigger house, a new car, makeup, plastic surgery, self help books, drugs and alcohol.

 

Tell her that you shouldn't be slaves to capitalist swine but live life with optimism every day. Tell her that love is the greatest thing in life, and while yours might not be the greatest love story ever told, it's at least top 10% in Canadian history.

Tell her about the love you have, the love you've shared and the amazing kids you've made and love together.

 

Tell her you'll try to work at being happy and she should do the same. She should do it not for you, but for herself.

 

Then tell her you've got a present for her. Tie a silk ribbon around your cock (preferably prepare this before the convo) then get it out and give it to her.

 

 

If that fails, I'm all out of advice.

Would you respond any differently if the sexes of the perpetrator and the person on the receiving end were reversed?

 

This is a description of domestic violence, Al, and you should not have to live with that. It needs to stop for all of your sakes

Not really. I obviously only included the bit about the cock at the end as a tribute to Alan.

But I pretty much meant the rest of it.

 

I'm not sure getting drunk and calling your other half an asshole, really constitutes domestic violence?

You yourself described it as 'emotional manipulation' which carried out in a persistent manner within an intimate personal relationship could be regarded as emotional abuse, one of the manifestations of domestic abuse/violence

Yes, agreed if it is in a persistent manner used to belittle and cause emotional abuse.

 

I was working off the provision that Al has been happily hooked up with Mrs Sex for a number of years, but it's only recently that the difficulties have arisen.

If he wants to stay with Mrs Sex and it seems he does, then there could be a chance, but they need to get through to the underlying issues, and sort those out, otherwise things will probably only get worse.

Or maybe I'm putting up with this crap for the sake of the kids?

In what sense, Al? I can't see how any of what you describe can be good for them.

 

The sad reality is that growing up with domestic abuse massively affects kids' life chances

I took a lot of shit over 22 years for the kids sake; if we'd not had children the marriage would have lasted five years maybe seven tops.

 

Every situation is different obviously but looking back one of the worst things I ever heard as a parent was one of my adult kids say I should have left with the kids.

I'm just stupidly hoping thing will get better, maybe.

 

 

She may have gone fully mad though.

 

Last night she nudges me and wakes me up, saying something that sounds important - but not clear enough to figure out what.

 

I ask her a couple of times to repeat what she said and she starts talking about her work. Talking in her sleep.

 

Then she wakes up a bit more and asks me why the fuck I woke her up, I'm an asshole and she can't believe what an asshole I am for waking her up.

 

She goes off to a kid's room for the rest of the night.

 

So much fun.

Further to this, I know women, believe me, she won't change at all untill you make her really believe you're ready to go, she will then, she'll come begging and pleadin and start thinking about the way she's being. Pack a bag and tell her it's over even if you don't want that but commit to it, don't back down, make sure you go, that's the only way she'll change.
