Would You do that, Kicking Your wife out of the house She also pays for? I can't kick my husband out of anything. We both pay for all here. I tried to leave once so I could have some peace and quiet when I needed and a short walk over to our house when I was needed and moved into the empty house nextdoor and it ended in tragedy so I gave up that fight. If I leave again I doubt it ends happy for anyone.
If you can't kick him out, then I would leave myself.
But the answer to your question is YES ABSOLUTELY. You bet I would. If my wife is staring at naked picts of other men, and ignoring me, or treating me badly, I would absolutely kick her out of the house. Or I would leave.
Because a marriage in that situation, is simply not going to last. It won't last. There is no way that marriage, in that condition is going to survive. So, better I make huge big issue out of it and try and save the marriage, by confronting that.... or ..... just divorce. Why would I spend years suffering in a miserable marriage, when it's going to end anyway? Better to end the marriage right now, and find a better woman. A moral woman, that doesn't do that.
I will either I force her out until she repents of her evil ways, or divorce immediately because there is no hope. But either way, I'm not going to waste years of my life in a terrible marriage, that simply isn't going to survive. Either fight for it now, or divorce it now. Life is way to short, for you bleed out your marriage over a decade.
Look... I have never understood this. The way your marriage is going right now, you are going to end up in divorce. You know it. I can feel it, in the way you are talking on this forum. If this continues into the future, at some point, you are going to snap, and divorce this guy anyway.
Better to force the issue now, and hope to fix your marriage. Force the issue now, while you still
care.
You talk like you can't leave, or he can't leave, and yet in 5 years more of this, or 10, you'll divorce him and leave anyway.
And here's the kicker. When you move to divorce him, he'll snap out of this. He'll wake up, and realize his mistake, and want you back. But then it will be too late. You'll be gone. You won't care anymore.
So why not do that NOW.... while you still care? Force this issue now, while you still have a chance at saving this.
Now the mistake you made, is you didn't really go anywhere. If he knows where you are, then you didn't do it right. I'd be on the other side of town. I'd move in with my parents for a week. I'd go on a vacation to a resort somewhere.
But you don't tell him where you are. You leave when he isn't at home, and when he calls you, you tell him "I warned you, that if you keep treating me this way, I'd disappear. I'll call you in 3 days", and then hang up, and
turn your phone off.
You don't talk to him. You lay down the rules, lay out the consequences, and then when he violates them, you simply enforce the penalty. The penalty is you disappear for a week. During that week, he doesn't need to know where you are. He doesn't need to talk to you.
You don't need to justify yourself to him. You don't need to explain it to him. You simply disappear, and after the week is up, you come home.
Another thing is...... you said "If I leave again I doubt it ends happy for anyone"....
Here's the deal.... Any problem that you do not fix, will get worse, and it will not end happy for anyone. You are on that path right *NOW*. If you do nothing, it will not end happy for anyone.
Taking action to fight to save this marriage, is the only chance you have. If you don't do anything, then honestly, I would advise you to start divorce action now. Why waste your time? It isn't going to get better if you do nothing, and since you are saying you intend to do nothing, then you might as well move towards the choice you are making by not doing anything. Just start divorce tomorrow.
That is not what I would suggest, but that is what is likely to happen. That's been my experience. All the couples I've met where they have a problem, and neither is willing to deal with the problem, the marriage usually ends. Very rare it doesn't.
The only other option you have, is going to be an even larger confrontation. You can try to reach your husband, by contacting everyone he respects. Call his friends, and ask them for help. Call his pastor, or church, or any religious group that he listens to. Call his parents. Call his sisters or brothers. Tell everyone what is going on.
Very few take that option, because
it will cause problems. But I have seen a few that once they got over the anger of the spouse telling everyone, they relented to the peer pressure, and changed their ways.
But really, you are more likely to have success, if he comes home, and you are not there, and don't tell him where you are, and just say "hey you treat me that way, I'll be home in a week.".
And by the way, you may have to do this more than once. He may repent for a few months, and then start slipping back, and then you disappear for another week. Do not leave while he's home. Do not tell him where you are. He doesn't need to know. All he needs to know is that there are consequences to his actions.
And very last thing...... last thing.
If this guy absolutely does not respond to you, when you do this..... then truly he does not care, and nothing you do will fix your marriage. You might as well give up. Most guys will respond to this action by their wives. The ones that do not, are beyond help. Nothing you can do to fix those guys.
