Hi Larry, nice to meet you and welcome to tbd. There are lots of groups, discussions to get involved with. Members are fun, friendly & sometimes like me 'wacky'.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry you feel you're about to drown. I think it's great that you are reaching out.

Take care, Deb

Well Lar, First off, WELCOME! Second, this site is full of the most dysfunctional, mentally unstable bunch of miscreants I have ever gotten the PLEASURE to know. If you want to cry there are sites for that, if you want to vent-there are sites for that too. If you want a few - no- a lot of laughs there are plenty of places to get your smile "on". I am in sort of the same situation that you are (minus the living with him part). And sometimes I feel that this site is my only link to sanity. So take your coat off, look around a bit, have a beer and stay awhile.

Good morning Larry,

I'm sorry you're going through this mess, however join the crowd. It seems that almost everyone these days has a nasty breakup story to tell. My advice to you would be...screw the "for financial reasons" and get your own place!!! This situation will continue to drag you down. If she's made up her mind, and it sounds like she has, there is no going back. Salvage what you can of your possessions and your dignity, and move on. It's like the idea of pulling the band aid off fast to get it over with. Of course it will be difficult and painful, but look what you're going through now. Once you make the break you'll be able to regroup and begin to surround yourself with the positive, healthy people you're looking for and you won't have someone constantly yipping in your ear about how unsuitable you are...which btw is one person's perspective and she most likely has an agenda of her own.

Anyway, don't lose heart...as they say, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Welcome Larry!

Hope you will find some friends,fun and laughs on tbd! Just look at the different groups and dive on in to any that interest you.

Welcome to the group Larry and howdy from Texas. Yes this is a great bunch of folks and you will find those you can laugh and cry with...I know I did.

I was in a similar situation only I was providing all the financial stability in the end and said screw it all and kicked him out. You have to do what is right for you and it might mean cutting a few corners here and there but you will find in the end for your sanity and peace of mind total separation is what you will need.

Good luck and hang around for the laughs and some great folks to talk to!

Welcome Larry,

Here you'll most likely find friends who've walked in your moccasins or at least friends who'll make you laugh along the way.

Congratulations you found us and none too soon!

Thank you one and all...I sure feel welcomed! To what groups do most of you find yourself gravitating? I have many, many, MANY interests and not a lot of computer time. Obviously, I need to vent/rant/bitch/moan...(miss moaning), uh, sorry,/and-want-to-laugh. What are your favorites?
