i have stayed with him that long because he kept me depressed and would never let me out of the house alone. plus i had three small children and no money or resources. i could never have a job or a car or anything. i finally woke up and got myself a job and a car and have become much more of a real human, but i still can barely go to the grocery store alone or he is accusing me of being with some guy. this has been going on for atleast 10 years. i was totally innocent, no other man involved until this one showed up and made me think about how it really could be.
people always tell me to watch out cause of the grass being "greener on the other side."
the grass would HAVE to be greener on the other side, because in my case, the grass is dead and brown and has been for years.
