    I think in the last 24 years of relationships, I've proven several deal-breakers as false. That said, I would have to say that they one consistent is - You got knocked up by someone else while we were married.

    Deal breaker. When he says your favorite movie is stupid. Why you gotta be so mean about it? ☹


    It is a Disney film isn’t it??

    Ha ha. Nah. But it's cheesy.

    Love Actually?
    When Harry Met Sally?

    Have you ever heard of a film, where a woman maybe works as a welder by day, and does something more exotic at night?

    No but google has....”Flashdance”. Not sure how this gem has escaped me. I will see if it is available online.

    You never seen it? It is a classic.

    There seems to be a lot to unpack here.

    What were the deal breakers you proved to be false?

    I’m guessing that was not part of your agreement

    I'm so sorry. Damn, people are f'ing terrible. Hugs. <3

    My only real deal breaker that happened to me was when my ex husband told me he was gay.
    YEAH, IT'S OVER NOW. DEAL BREAKER.

    Kinda makes me wonder how many poor souls are in a heterosexual relationship due to some kind of perceived pressure, whether societal or familial or religious, but don’t identify as hetero

    Bums me out.

    A lot more than you think. I just told him that we BOTH deserved to be happy and loved by someone who we can love fully. I was never mean to him about it, I know that he wanted his life to be "normal" according to society. Everyone deserves happiness and to live life how they want.

    At the same time, he should have told me much sooner than 15 years into marriage, and though I feel bad for him, I feel bad for myself too. Coming out of that and realizing it was all lies was very harsh.

    As someone who's still figuring out their sexuality, it is possible he didn't know himself. I didn't, until 5 years ago, know I was bi (possibly gay, though I'm not 100% on that). Until about 5 years ago, when I started going to therapy. I use bi, as kinda a catch all term btw. idk wtf I am. I just know I'm not strait. Maybe your ex was/is in the same boat?

    I wouldn’t say it was all lies. Your feelings for him weren’t. I’m sure that all the laughs you both had weren’t lies either. He chose to stay with you for 15 years so that has to say something about you as a person.

    He said he always knew, even when he was young, that he is gay.

    There was a lot of pressure from society and family etc, to have a normal life for him.

    He said he would have stayed with me forever because he loved me as a person.

    But we both deserved more. Honestly it's just a sad story all the way around.

    Took me a long time to feel okay about it.

    Who doesn’t like gagoots?

    ETA: I’d show y’all some from my garden but that’s an actionable offense.

    I know right??!? Think of everything you can do with it! Saute it, make it into zucchini boats, use it as noodles, make it into a sweet bread! It's fantastic!!
