Title basically. I was supposed to work a shift but got the call the day before I didn’t have to come in. My spouse is a total nightmare to deal with, and I never get to do anything besides be at home or at work, so I decided to say fuck it. I put on my clothes like I was going to work, pulled out of the driveway in the direction I normally would, and hit the road to the beach. Weather has been perfect the last couple of weeks and it isn’t heavy with tourists yet since school is still in session, so i parked in the public lot, took off my work clothes (kept normal clothes underneath), and put down an emergency jacket i keep in my car as my place to sit. It’s been glorious to have time to myself in my favorite place to be with almost no one around.

Winning!
Get divorced
Happy for you!
Do her a favor, divorce him before you have your affair.
If you’ll lie about this you’ll lie about other things and if you can lie to him so easily how hard will cheating be?
So save her the pain and let him find someone willing to be honest with him.
bet you feel so bad ass now 😏 as you should. I bet it felt liberating 😎
I’m sorry for what you’re going through! I hope you’ll manage to get free soon 🤞
Ugh, I totally get that. Been separated a few months now and am living the best life I can until financial settlement, after which it should get even better.
Sounds like it’s over, all the best to you with your freedom ❤️
I did this during summer school in middle school. I would ride my bike up the street towards the school, then loop around the block and head to the park. I had an ice fishing pole I had bought off an old philipino woman at the flea market. I’d go catch bass, catfish, and bluegill all day.
Why are you married to them then
You enjoyed peace and quiet that’s the plan. Kudos to you
Hey, OP, thanks for sharing this, and I’m so glad you were able to get away and take a day to yourself!
I want to tell you, I spent way too many years in a toxic relationship – I try not to have regrets but I do wish I had some of those years back without the stress of that relationship overshadowing everything.
Please learn a lesson from me, if you need it – don’t let years go by in a bad place, if that’s not the place for you.
Best of luck to you!
Now imagine having this type of freedom every single day without having to lie about it. Divorce this man
So sad for you
I told her you’re at the beach.
Hey OP, if you don’t feel like you can communicate with your spouse about a change in work schedule or your desire to have time to do things you like, then you have a major issue!! If you feel unsafe communicating, you should leave quietly like you did to the beach, but to a new place or back with your parents. If you just feel uncomfy, maybe start with small things. Unless you can break through the inability (mostly on your spouses part) to communicate, your relationship is not going to get better. Stability is attractive, but being able to do things you love, and be who you are (even if it’s on a whim) is worth everything. I pray that you can continue to find joy like beach days either way. Looking out for you as someone who escaped a controlling relationship ❤️ you can too
Sweetie, why do you stay?
Enjoy your day!
I appreciate how the name is thematic with the story. Sorry to read about the marriage situation.
