Man Shares How He Endured & Finally Quit Marriage After 20 Years

by
April 23, 2016

An unidentified man shared how he endured his marriage from the very start and the unusual way he eventually quit after 20 years. Read below as posted by Humans of New York on Instagram.

“I was having second thoughts about the marriage almost immediately. I was thinking about asking for an annulment, but then we got pregnant. So I stuck it out for twenty years. I did really well for myself during that time. I was making $100,000 per year as a lawyer. That was a lot of money in the sixties. We lived on the finest street in Charlotte. But I was still miserable. So the moment the kids were grown, I took off. I left my wife everything. I left her the house, the bank account, the Mercedes, everything. I didn’t even say goodbye. I just dictated a note to my secretary, called the Rolls Royce dealership, and told them to pick up the car at the airport. I flew to New York with nothing but $800, screaming: ‘Free at last, free at last, free at last!’”

  • I can understand the freedom he is talking about. This man must have faced hell in that marriage for him to be so excited to leave and not say a word. But I think he should have informed his wife about his decision to leave. Marriage is not a do or die affair abeg. If you’re not enjoying it, do not endure it for your sanity.

  • Wow! He stayed for his kids, so there are men like that out there, well at least he’s happy now.

  • He hasn’t said any particular thing that made him unhappy in the marriage.Maybe he is one of those people who claims they were not created for marriage What’s the essence of staying married for that long because of the kids only for you to walk out on them just like that
