Hi clo,

I am sorry you had a bad marriage. Glad you got away. It's great that it got better afterwards.

The fact that he ruined your livelihood is an example of the sort of thing that embittered partners and ex-partners do.

So that might also give you reason for sympathy for those whose professional lives are ruined in this way. Unless you assume the only people who act maliciously are men. But that simply isn't true.

I am not saying that some people aren't abusive in relationships. But it is going to be a terrible world if we let things that happen within failing marriages affect people's employment - so long as those things aren't actually serious criminal matters.

Are we just going to have lawyers in everything?

What a nightmare.

Perhaps we should just have relationships with robots so no one is exposed to harm.

Did you see their difference in size?

As a woman who was faced with a life threatening situation, I know how difficult this is. In 1980 my husband was drunk & threatened me, it was his first & only time. I was able to call the police.
They arrested him. He was given a time to come to the house to get his clothes, I wasn't here at the time. Instead, he ripped the electrical wiring from my car.

Luckily, my auto mechanic repaired it. He also offered to let me use my credit card for cash, (for food) which I never did. He never liked my husband.

We had been married for 10 years, he is 11 years older & became very jealous. I had recently started working out of the house. He wrongly thought I was having an affair with my employer. He went to the job when I wasn't there, drunk, and confronted my employer, in front of customers.
Needless to say, I lost my job.

I never slept with him after that. I moved to the downstairs. I wanted a separation, he refused to leave.
After he was arrested I had an order of protection.

Unbeknownst to me he did come back & took the registration from my car. I went to motor vehicles & said I lost it & was able to get another.

He tried to starve me to get me back, refusing to pay child support, until the divorce was final. I never asked for support for myself, I believed I wanted the divorce & thought that was fair.

Many years later he apologized for his behavior, and today we are on friendly terms.
No man will ever have that kind of control of me.
