Eighteen years ago, I married a man so he could get health insurance and have back surgery. It was supposed to be short-lived.
He’s put me through hell over the years. Stage 4 tongue cancer, which I didn’t have an issue with. Then he started drinking and got a DUI. Because I was the sole provider, it cost me almost $10,000.
My husband is a complete SLOB and doesn’t care. He has a severe sleep disorder he refuses to address. Most days, he drinks all night and sleeps until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. I finally moved out, but now he’s pestering me about when I’ll be back. What can I do?. You have done enough of the heavy lifting. It’s now time to concentrate on what is good forhappy.
Before I lost the weight, men seldom noticed me, which was fine with me. Lately, men have been looking at me, smiling and even flirting. Although this is a confidence booster, I don’t want to lead anyone on. I know it may seem weird, but I’m afraid if someone asks me out, my facial expression and response might not be cordial. I don’t want to insult anyone. I believe if I memorize one or two polite, tactful responses I’ll be ready for the moment.
