'This is why you don’t get engaged to someone you only dated for a month.'
"Two weeks after we got married, she said to either get her pregnant or it was over. It was annulled eight weeks later.""I caught him drinking and driving with my kids in the car after he'd already had a few DUIs and was supposedly getting sober. I came home early and saw him toss something in the trash a few houses down as he pulled up, so I stopped to check, and it was a beer can. I walked inside and tossed him right out.
"Well, I planned a small wedding in a mansion. The night before the wedding, he accused me of cheating. Red flag. When I got back from my honeymoon, we were both arrested for crimes he had been committing. Three weeks later, I had the marriage annulled based on fraud. When push came to shove, he blamed me, so I served time also. I had vetted him in ways no one would dream of, but I didn't check with the Justice Department. It ruined the next decade of my life.
Months later, I somehow convinced him to move back to my country, where it was apparently 'my turn' to take care of him. He would dress up in his military uniform and walk around town waiting to be praised for his 'service,' then bum drinks at the pubs and come home vomiting and shitting his guts out. It took another six months to build up the courage and enough of a support system that I could leave him.
He wasn't supportive of anything I did. I was writing the first draft of my book at the time; he couldn't even get the genre right when people asked about it. He read a couple of chapters and said, 'None of the characters are like me.' He caused conflict with his family and mine. I understand now that he was extremely depressed but refused to go back to therapy after the first couple of sessions. He blamed it on me.
"He was completely convinced that I was actively cheating with everyone, from the mailman to every single professor, associate, postdoc, dean, etc. at the university .
