21 People Admit The Moment They Realized They Married The Wrong Person

He wanted kids as much as I did. So, we had kids. Then he just turned out to be a horrible Dad. Ignored them, belittled them, started drinking too much and lashing out. Refused couples therapy. Started to embarrass the kids with his actions. Divorce.

When I realized I’d rather die than continue. And that my son needed me alive more than I needed his daddy. And then when I had it pointed out to me that due to my being the sole earner in the house I could easily disentangle myself from him financially – something he’d made me believe I couldn’t do. Pretty certain he has NPD. His truth is very flexible to his environment and audience. He had zero energy for engaging with me and his son and while I worked he farmed my son out to anyone who’d have him and told other women how he was a stay at home dad because he loved that attention. Asshole.
