The driver hadn't noticed the lights were red apparently. Thankfully I was first in the queue and in the split second before he hit me I spotted him in the rearview and released the handbrake so I was only concertinad and embedded in the front of the truck rather than rolled straight over.

    Font - I had to call 999 myself as the truck driver gave zero s...ts other than trying to shift me out of his bumper and the surrounding drivers just gawped and drove around. The amazing ambulance crew who attended to me called my partner of nearly 20 years while we were still roadside to explain I was being taken to a local hospital and he said they should call my sister instead as he had a gaming night planned so couldn't get away to be there himself.

    Font - $0.9 SereneAdler33 - 2 days ago I realized I much preferred my life when my husband was gone and I started actively hoping he would make plans or have to travel for work. I dreaded him coming home because it was just nonstop criticism and belittling. Decided it was time we went our separate ways.

    Font - jomarthecat 2 days ago Been there. My ex-wife was a nurse. We have 3 kids together. I was always looking forward to the days when she was working late shifts. If I got the kids to bed by 8pm I could have a couple of hours all to myself. That was the moments that kept me going through an extremely lop-sided relationship.

    Font - Fun_Key_ButtLovin 2 days ago I was working 3 jobs, 18 hour days, because my bf at the time told me that if I didn't bring in as much money as him, then our relationship was over. He had been at his job 7 years and was making $17 an hour when minimum wage was around $9 an hour. I lost 15lbs by accident because I was so overwhelmed and busy.

    Font - gra61 2 days ago I just got tired of paying all the bills (except morgage) while he made more money but refused to pay any. On top of that I did all child care (except fun stuff like trips etc.) and most of the housework.

    Font - He did cook some but then left cleanup to me and somehow would use all the pots. I was also expected to take kids home at bedtime while he stayed and hung out with my family. I just decided if I was being a single parent I might as well be a single parent.

    Font - +1 2 days ago Her birthday was the day before mine. I made her dinner. Put on one of her favorite movies and spent time with her. She criticized pretty much every aspect of the food and evening. fr0z3nf1r3 My birthday (turning 21) plan was to just buy a bunch of liquor and mixers and invent cocktails together all night. She got a flat tire before we could start. I drove to her car, fixed the tire, and then she said she wanted to go home because she was tired.

    Font - wOnd3rk 2 days ago I just really got tired of him never having time for me. One night I said something like, "Guess I won't be seeing you today then either" and he confirmed that I wouldn't, so I shrugged and said, "Guess we should be calling it quits then, huh."
