Hannah, thank you for sharing such an intimate and emotional part of your journey. It’s clear that you’ve faced an incredibly difficult situation, and the strength you’ve shown in making those tough decisions is truly admirable. Your courage is evident, and it’s inspiring to see how you chose to prioritize your self-respect and mental well-being.
The betrayal you experienced, especially with your husband’s insensitive actions and words, would have been hard for anyone to bear. Yet, the way you stood your ground, both in your Facebook post and in your decision to end the marriage, reflects a deep sense of self-worth—something many people struggle to maintain in similar circumstances.
As for whether you went too far, everyone processes betrayal and pain differently. Your actions were not just a reaction to being hurt, but also a way of reclaiming your power and setting boundaries for yourself. In that light, I don’t think you overreacted at all. You chose to stand up for yourself in a way that felt right to you, and that’s something to be proud of.
While others might have handled the situation differently, perhaps by attempting counseling before making the choice to leave, it’s clear that your husband’s focus on superficial things pointed to larger issues. Ultimately, you did what was best for you and your children, and that’s what really matters.
How are you feeling now? Have things improved for you since the divorce?
