In 2020, fierce contempt for my selfish jackass of a husband motivated me to quit drinking. I wanted to be above reproach when I filed for divorce.
Today, I genuinely respect and admire the generous and sexy man who is (still) my husband.
Contempt is not fueled by the flaws of your spouse. Your experience is a reflection of your attitude, not reality. And even if you divorce, you'll get full custody of your own mind--which is the REAL source of your unhappiness.
Contempt is a YOU problem. And unmet needs, unrealistic expectations and ineffective communication skills will follow you into the next relationship--even if you remain single. Because wherever you go, there you are.
Heal your relationship with yourself so the decision to stay or leave your marriage comes from a place of POWER.
