Separation Chronicles

There are situations even a subreddit will not have answers for.

So we have established here on numerous occasions that the end of a marriage is worse than bereavement and not something I would wish on my worst enemy.

Because what’s supposed to be done when one’s soon to be ex spouse falls seriously ill and you’re still not communicating because they instituted an informal no contact agreement?

What if it was an abusive spouse who even the very last time you broke your back nursing them back to health, they were berating you for not doing a good enough job and treating you like absolute garbage?

Is the decent thing to do to put the past behind you and run back to offer your spousal duties of care and support?

Welp, fuck decency.

They asked me not to speak to them, they haven’t spoken to me, so I’m not breaching that agreement.

I gave what I could when I could, I’m now all out of care and fucks to give.

Life will not come to a standstill because I did not go sign up for more exploitation and abuse.

Deuces. Chickens roosting and made beds getting lain in etc.
