Title: Leaving
Post by Linda_Howell on Jun 5th, 2004, 10:04am


This morning my significant other told me he wanted me to move back to California.

I have rented out my house, put my things in storage, changed licence plates, Ins. Co. etc.  Major life change for me.  I know no one here in Sokane to help me, but I have to shut down my computer soon and I don't know when I will be back here.  I don't know if I can even get to the convention now since my plane takes off from Spokane and I won't be here.   I don't know if OUCH will still want me to be on the Bod since I can't contribute via the internet...

As some of you know I got married a month ago and now he wants me to leave.  I am in such shpock I don't even know how I am writing this

That's an awful lot to ask someone.....I hope there's a real profitable reason (not just money) and that you think this over before you leave.

No one should make life changing decisions on the spur of the moment and I am worried about you.  

I can't imagine ch.com without you, but if you are doing something that you really want to do....God bless you.

Be sure that some one here knows how to keep in touch with you.  We love you.

Linda . . .
1st . . I so totally agree with Un_Solved.
2nd . . I also agree with Donna . .and life changes shouldn't be made spur of the moment .
Maybe y'all just need to take a little break . . .and have some  discussion (with immunity, so y'all can really talk with no worries).  Maybe the break could be . . .don't leave yet, go to the convention . .then go back to Spokane and talk?
Just an idea . . .
I hope everything works out well for you . . .do what you need to do for you . . .and fight for yourself  . . .you deserve to take care of you.

Sorry to hear that it is not working out for you Linda.

Damn that SUCKS. Hope you get back on track soon. Take care of your self and let us know how you're doing when you get settled back in Calfornia.

Sure hope you don't have to miss the convention.

Title: Re: Leaving
Post by jonny on Jun 5th, 2004, 1:56pm
I have one more.....well, two things to add.

Linda, your married?.....you own HALF his stuff, tell him to get the fuck out of YOUR house.

Lastly, who the fuck said Linda made a spur of the moment life change?......any of you live with Linda and know her daily thoughts?......I didnt think so!

Title: Re: Leaving
Post by miapet on Jun 5th, 2004, 2:06pm
moving quickly, while stressed about the decision, or doing it under duress is a major life change, and it sounds as if it's being made quickly . . .if it's been in the works for awhile, then forgive my assumption.

btw, i hope linda did pm jonny the hubby's addy . . .he will be needing company if/when you she moves *g*

Don't know mia, seems he knows all the sacrifice she went through to be with him.  A week after committing everything, bang.  I wouldn't waste my breath.  He just proposed a little time ago.  Sounds like he's ridiculous.  If "leaving" came from his lips, I wouldn't stay, it sounds like unhappiness for her.  She can get back on her feet again, needs support.  Sooner the better.  He's committed his intentions for the future with this anal act of cruelty.

Title: Re: Leaving
Post by Linda_Howell on Jun 5th, 2004, 2:29pm

He doesn't want to talk things out.  After 4 days of ignoring me and sleeping on the couch, I put it to him this morning right after a hit and said that we need to work this out/compromise etc.  He said it can't be done. I said so what??? you want me to move back to California???????Incredulous.   He said yes.

He was nice enough to offer the suggestion that he will have next week-end free to help me get there.  

I have let my Medical Ins. lapse because he was putting me on his, changed all my other Ins., have WASHINTON plates on my car, rented out my house and signed a contract to do that, put my things in storage,  etc.....

Now here I sit at my pc because you people here are the only voices I have to communicate with in this strange town where I know absolutly no-one.  

  This is going to be a real test of strength for me if I get through it at all.  I know you all wish the best and I appreciate it, but in reality...I am alone.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here.

                Linda


Title: Re: Leaving
Post by Linda_Howell on Jun 5th, 2004, 2:42pm
BTW....

  You people here and the ones who've called me and IM'd me are the only things that are keeping me sane right now.  I tried to make a pot of coffee a while ago and just stood there and cryed and couldn't figure out how to do it.  

Linda

Title: Re: Leaving
Post by Melissa on Jun 5th, 2004, 2:45pm
I know you are alone right now, but you will find a friend in yourself and get through this.  CH'ers are fighters, and if I realize anything about you, it's that you can take care of yourself, no matter what the situation.  You'll go into a mode of self preservation after a bit, and plow forward with taking control of your life.  No matter how difficult it is to get it back on track, you'll do it.  Also, if friends ask if you need anything, please don't hesitate to say yes if you really do.  I used to let my pride get in the way of taking a helping hand during really difficult times, and all it did was make it tougher on me.  I meant what I said on the other board.  

love you,
mel

OMG Linda, if I was there right now, you would be getting a bone breaking hug from me.
I know it seems like huge hurdles to get over right now, but you can do it kiddo. Take one small challenge at a time and get it done. There is a reason this is happening to you, and maybe you are much better off out of that situation.
Look at it like cleaning a house. Yeah it's a fucking mess right now, but slowly and surely start cleaning up the mess my love. You can and will overcome this my dear.
Also call the airline and explain your situation and maybe they could transfer your departure city for you.
Linda you are one hell of a strong woman, and I know you can sort yourself out. I need you to be in Nashville.
Get yourself there and you will get so many hugs from everyone.
Ok are you dusting yourself off yet....????
Love
Jayne

I'm sorry hun, but being married has to be a compromise. There is no break, he either shits or gets off the pot and like Jonny said, you dont let him kick you out of the house.  You moved there. You can pick up in a weekend mand move back you dont have a place to go.

I'm sorry. And i know it is hard. I've beent here when all seems loss.  Please know that you are not alone.  We are all here and will help in any way that we can.  

I dontknow what else to say, but I am sorry that you are having to go through this.

I'm so sorry that this has happened. I'm sure you can't really believe it is happening at all.
Kip is right though, it is no good to allow someone to control you in this way, don't let him do it to you. A relationship that is worth having doesn't work like this.

I hope you somehow find the strength to do what YOU think is right.

I told you a couple of years ago you were welcome at my house any time. I have a extra bed room . I have animals and I have a grandbaby that might drive you nuts. You are welcome to stay here with me ! I get kind of lonely here all day long. It would be nice to have someone here and I love you so much.
I hope you can read this. I don't know how to reach you!
You can still go to the convention I am driving ! I know I live in Ga. Your Husband surely would see to it you can get here. !

I don't know your circumstances so I'll just tell you that a little time spent on this can't hurt. Try not to move faster than you absolutely have to.  Things change quickly in these instances.....but you don't necessarily have to keep the pace. Drives them nuts.

Keep in touch kid.

Post by Jimi on Jun 5th, 2004, 11:36pm
   I hate this for you Linda. Have you told your son? Legally, he may not be able to get off that scott-free or if it has only been 30 days, he may even be able to get an annulment and get completely off scott free. I don't know the law out there. I think you might run it by your son, let him call a couple of atty friends of his and see what your options are.
   Anyway, I could never live with someone who did not love me. And bottom line Linda, you can't make a person love you. You are a clusterhead, chronic at that. It ain't fair, but then who said it would be. The bottom has dropped out on you again, but like Mel said, you will suck it up, take a deep breathe and figure out what you need to do.
    We are praying for you Road Warrior! [smiley=hug.gif]

Linda,

take a deep breath.  You're moving to Cali not the end of the world.  they have internet in Cali and you'll be back online soon.  We'll be here waiting.  Now call the airline and see if you can change your flight plans.  The airline might surprise you.  If they're uncooperative, go to a library, log in and post that.  Then we'll send them hate mail until they change their minds.

Now stay calm and know that we love you and will miss you until you get back.

Now if you decide to leave the little bastard. Let us know, as we'll find you a place to stay.

He's obviously not much of a man (at the moment) if he's giving up so quickly on a beautiful, strong, intelligent woman like you! The only logical conclusion is that the one with the problem is him!

Who's he to decide where you should live? If you want to stay where you are, then stay there!

I gave you my number(s).... use them, k? Collect is just fine with me.....

You know this is not a bad idea.  If he wants you out so bad, then have him rent you an apartment and go there.  It will give you a little time, as it is you would have to rent a place in CA if you went back because of your house. Why should that desision be made for you?

Let HIM find some other place to live though (A van down by the river). Since you are married, the house is as much yours as his.
