LisaMay,
This is a well written story of how her many assumptions and misreading signals ended in her deep hurt and abandonment.
I enjoyed the read because it is told in the first person which adds greatly to the story.
Well done

Wow --- now there's a man who is certainly the center of his own universe.... so sorry you were taken in by that, but you did have the admiration and most likely the love of those two children! ;) Thanx for sharing your well-written story - best of luck at the polls! ;)

A very well-written heartfelt and thought-provoking story. So many men are self centered and selfish and think they have a right to take advantage of others and don't have to consider any one else's feelings.

This is a very good story of a most painful time in your life that will always be with you. One good thing is that his children will always love you.

I do hope this is fiction. If not, I will address this as if it is true. I worked as a DV advocate for 30+ years. I wrote an educational website. I have included the link below. I will first say to the speaker in this account:You may not have realized you were a victim of abuse. It may be good it went this way as he may have become abusive in more ways. You are a courageous woman. It takes great courage to be able to leave and I'm sure you know them. This story should be publicized for all abuse victims to read.

Unfortunately it is non-fiction autobiographical. It's the first time i've written about it; I've processed that period in my life now and know how he controlled my future. It ended twenty years ago.
I think people should read this as a lesson not to be involved in power imbalance relationships.
The website you provided would be helpful to others. I have had my eyes well and truly opened to various forms of domestic violence and manipulation.
I think I'll put that website address in an author note under my story.

I am happy for your growth and recovery. I am honored that you would consider including my website. Keep up the good work.

Wow. I love how you work your way into the reason this was such a shock. This is well written. You share with us the relationship so well that when you reveal what happened (don't want to spoil this for anyone that might read the comment first) it comes as a major shock. We are sharing your shock. The writing is fantastic.

Thank you so much for these comments and for your empathy.
It is a highly personal story and is the first time I have written about it, so it made me feel quite raw all over again revisiting how i felt about that relationship, even though it was many years ago now.

Oh my!! Well I am afraid that Gary turned out to be a jerk. That is so sad and horribly hurtful. It amazes what people think is perfectly okay to do. I'm so sorry. This is a really well done story. I saw no errors and found it very well written. I hope you found happiness with another.

Thanks for reviewing.
This is the first time that I've actually written down how i felt about this occurrence in my life. I realise how deeply it affected me.
I haven't had a permanent partner of any duration since.

Devastating. I wish this were a fictional revenge fantasy. (I not only hope the operation hurt but also that it was unsuccessful and that his new wife left him for another man.) A fine piece of work. Cheers. LIZ

They didn't have kids, so maybe the operation wasn't successful. She did leave him and marry a younger man, more her age, and they now have 2 kids together. If it were a revenge fantasy his dick would've dropped off by now.

YES!
