She Wants To Divorce Her Husband After Just One Year Of Marriage Because She Feels Like She Made A Mistake Saying “I Do,” Ignored A Ton Of Red Flags, And Wants A Partner Who Realizes Just How Special She Is
This woman and her husband started dating when they were young– back in 2008– but didn’t get engaged until 13 years later.
So, even though she always wanted to tie the knot by age 25– and told her husband that– he didn’t propose until she was 28. Then, they didn’t actually get married until she was 29.
That’s why they are only now celebrating their first year of marriage. But honestly, she regrets saying, “I do.”
“I feel like I made a mistake,” she admitted.
Apparently, she believes that she ignored some major red flags before they walked down the aisle. For instance, her husband has always been very controlling and short-tempered.
She wasn’t ever allowed to hang out with friends that he didn’t personally know. Plus, if she spent more than a specific time out of the house, her husband would get seriously upset– and remain angry at her all day.
But just last night, during a hangout with her sister and her husband, she reached her breaking point.
It all began when they were having a few drinks and became pretty tipsy. Then, her sister made a joke about her husband– saying, “Well, you married him.”
At that point, she also fired back a joking response, telling her sister that it “took him 13 years to propose.”

Well, rather than keeping things lighthearted, her husband made a remark that caused her to have an epiphany about their marriage.
“You didn’t show the qualities of a wife until I proposed,” her husband said.
Afterward, her sister did laugh, but she could tell that the comment made her sister just as angry as she was.
She tried to laugh off the remark, too. But, she claimed that at that moment, everything in her marriage started to add up.
“All those excuses he’d give me as to why he couldn’t propose finally made sense,” she explained.
“His ego also couldn’t handle seeing me with another man, so he stuck it out with me until he was ready to finally commit to me.”
That’s why, ever since the hangout went wrong, she’s actually considered broaching the topic of divorce with her husband.
She claimed that he doesn’t believe in therapy, so something like couple’s counseling isn’t an option. And at the end of the day, she just wants a partner who makes her feel like she’s good enough and recognizes how special she is.
“Instead of having to prove myself for 13 years,” she vented.
“I know I’m a great wife, and I think I’m slowly losing myself in this marriage.”
However, before she pulls the trigger, she cannot help but wonder if asking for a divorce so soon would be the wrong thing to do.
How would you feel if your partner treated you like that? Do you think she’d be asking for a divorce “too soon,” or hasn’t she given her husband plenty of time after being with him for 13 years prior to marriage? What would you do in her shoes?
