True. But it’s a goal you should work towards. As am I.

Can I ask what made you decide on divorce?

Like you I haven’t done it yet but it’s a goal. Honestly was planning to walk out this month( July 2020) but the pandemic and my job situation hasn’t worked out so well. So kind of stuck. I’m probably losing my job end of this month which I’m ok with since I have plenty of savings to tide me over but with no job getting my own apartment might be hard. My husband is a hoarder. Massive hoarder. It affects my mental health and in the end it affected my performance at work. I can’t keep up with his mess. I need to leave for my own health. Unfortunately this pandemic has caused issues with the plan, but I’m still working on it. Sometime in 2017, I just stopped picking up after him, so he kind of half assedly does clean up a bit, if he needs a glass for water and there isn’t a clean glass well sucks to be him I guess so he has been doing dishes. I got myself my own office and I just hide there Instead of deal with him and do mine and my kids laundry. When he doesn’t have any clean clothes, I’m like “ guess you’ll have to wash them”. So he does his own laundry.

I have to deal with my managers abusiveness at work as well on top of the hoarding at home and I’m losing my mind. The reason women are seeing their rights being taken is because we just don’t have the time dealing with work and home. And childless women are too keen to be seen as accommodating to do anything about it.

Wow I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Good on you for making a plan. I really hope it all works out for you. I couldnt handle a hoarder so props to you for even trying to make it work.

I feel you on the work situation too. My workplace is all petty bs office politics. So stupid. But yeah I feel like women are so worn down now men are trying to slip in and take shit away again. All the new laws on abortion seem to prove that. Its depressing.
