I was married for 23 years and never truly had any power. My objections or attempts at negotiation were met with discussion (more like lecture) until I saw his POV and agreed with him. Believe me, there was no winning. It was only a matter of time before I would agree just to get him to shut up. There was no agreement really, only a sigh and capitulation.

So one day I decided I was done, moved out the next day. Never felt a moment of regret. He was such a drain in my spirit.
