"We lasted two months! He was my high school sweetheart, but we both had a rough home life. In retrospect, I think we were trying to create a family in order to escape ours at home. He ended up cheating with a friend, and the affair produced a son. If I hadn't left him, I would've never graduated high school and gotten my bachelor's and master's degrees. I am a much happier person than I would've been had I stayed."
"I filed for divorce 10 days before our one-year wedding anniversary. My husband and I had dated for six years, were engaged for one, and were married for less than one year. Throughout the entirety of our 8-year relationship, there were numerous red flags, but he would gaslight me into thinking that I was crazy for thinking his behavior or actions were inappropriate, manipulative, or emotionally abusive. In particular, he had a 'friend' for whom he would drop everything in an instant if she needed 'help.' For example, he once left me alone to shovel our driveway out after a snowstorm while he went to her house to help her shovel hers. His excuse? 'She's not as independent as you.' She eventually moved away, and I thought the physical distance would eliminate the issue. I was dead wrong."
