Yes, I left him. He didn't beat me or cheat. Contrary to what you believe, I didn't cheat either. Sometimes people just don'e work together and that's what happened to us. We were planning a wedding and a life together. I loved him. But he wasn't willing to give me what I needed. He constantly belittled and ignored me, he chose helping other instead of helping his family, he chose personal activities over spending time with his family. I begged for him to come home more, to watch his daughter learn and grow, but he refused. He told me to get a job and keep the house clean, but wouldn't allow me to talk to anybody, go anywhere or put our daughter in day care. I asked him to do counseling and he refused, he wouldn't acknowledge that we had things to work on.
I moved back in with my parents, how humiliating! My fiance didn't love me enough to try and I had to rely on my parents again. Where were you, friends? Almost a month went by. He bought me pretty things expecting to woo me the same way as before but it didn't work, it couldn't work. What good are things when all I wanted was his time? Almost two months went by and he hadn't even thought to give me food or diapers for his daughter and she was still sleeping in a play yard. He refused to give me her bed. After two months and three counselling sessions, he finally purchased a cheap bed for his daughter, but still refused to provide anything else for her. And where were you, my friends?
A few months passed and he seemed improved, so we started seeing each other, working on things. But they weren't moving fast enough for him. He wanted me back in his house, under his thumb, under his control. He started making demands again and trying to go through my phone again. I knew better this time, not that I had anything to hide. I told him about my dream of purchasing a house for Beasty and myself- something to use as extra income if things worked out between us. I was given an ultimatum in response- come back, know your place, or it's over.
The next Wednesday he had a new woman to our house, to his house. Did you know he made the plans with her before giving me the ultimatum, friends? The next week he was madly in love with her, his daughter and I already forgotten.
Did you know about this, friends? Did you know how he ignored me and cast me aside when I wouldn't bend to his will? Did you even care? Maybe you'll be there for this new woman and her child in a way that you were never there for me.
