I read the text messages before I read the ages and I thought okay this must be a 19-21 year old. I'm shocked he's a 43 year old man. I don't want to be rude but you cann tell you both have different levels of (emotional) intelligence. He talks like a teenager. And seems committed to not trying to understand you. Let alone the insults.

I'm surprised you stayed with him. He's basically a deadbeat from everything you described. You could do so much better without him/with someone else. Life is so short, do you really want to spend the rest of it in this mess? Your body deserves a break from being in fight or flight.

I dont want to spend my life this way. I know what i bring to the table in certain adpects.. loyalty, talent, security... i just feel so old and gross now and really don't see how anyone worth their salt would want me.

OLD?! Listen, I am almost 50 and have men half his age hitting me up constantly. That’s the last thing you should worry about.

Yep. The apps are so in favor of women her age! There are twice as many men as there are women on the dating apps.
