Well I told my husband that I wanted a divorce. He was at my home when I got home from work yesterday, "I asked him what was he doing here," he said "that he wanted to know if I wanted to go to the  prayer meeting at church". "I told him no I just got home". So he went and I notice that ...

    Joyce...Sometimes we just have to take a stand and put it into action.  Bravo to you.  I think the message came thru loud and clear.  Hope things work out favorably for you.

    Well done Joyce. That is not easy I know. It has been a few months since I split up with my BP partner. In the beginning I said we could still be friends but that I could not be in a in a relationship with him. His bipolar was out of control and he was not taking responsibility for it. After having that conversation..about being friends.... he asked if he could stay the night(?) I said "No, that's not what friends do". I was firm but kind. He rang me last Friday night to ask if we could "go out". I said No, I had other plans. You can be firm but not unkind. Good for you. That unfortunately won't be the end of it but you are handling it all very well. Keep going and stay strong. Its is best for him too. He needs to take responsibility. Best wishes Rusty

    Rusty,

     

    I appreicate your comment. I am the one that has BP. After I told my husband I wanted a divorce, that night (Friday) he came and took the car at about 10:00 -10:30 pm without my knowledge, it is in his name and I was making all the payments. He left me a message on my answering machine and said there is no need to call the police since the car is community property. I called him back and told me that he needs to bring back the stuff that is there. He said that there was nothing in there, I told him he was lying. Earlier that night I told him to get out of my house (he came by to take me and my son to a concert) he said that the stuff in here was his so he doesn't have to leave. He said I would have to call the police, I said no I would physically throw him out. He call the police on me in my own house telling them that they needed to send an officer that there is a domestic dispute. The police came out I showed them my lease, it showed that I am the only one on it. To make a long story short, he lied about everything he told them. I guess he thought he would put me in a jam but the next morning I walked down to a car lot and drove out with a car. My son called him and told him that I got a new car and good luck with the $400.00 payments for the SUV. He called this morning (Monday) and told me that when he came to get the car that it was unloced and that everyting was already cleaned out. I said you know I don't leave it unlocked and even if it was, someone would not take everything out of it. They wouldn't take little things like mail box keys, pepers for tanning, a car vaccum, CD's. So I am assuming that he threw everything in the trash. Thanks for listening.
