you are my hero! You took on Virgin mobile and WON! that is so hard to do. To cancel a cell phone contract is liking getting out a contract with the mob. They are pushy, rude, snotty, and keep telling you what YOU want. if you express yourself and tell them YOUR needs, they interrupt you and tell you that you dont know what you need. Makes you want to drive down there and start clawing folks. This sets you up to feel dismissed, disrespected, completely unheard. This can spill over into many areas of your life and make you strong enough to chew barbed wire.

I am glad your husband heard you. Perhaps he is one of those that needs to mull over what he is being told and to feel the threat of being alone before he will move off his hot rock. Keep telling him that you are not his child, you are his wife and as such you deserve respect. There really is a difference between being loved and being respected. You can be truly loved and yet really disrespected. I have been telling my son for a year now that yes, his g/f loves him, but she doesnt respect him. He needs to work on that.

You brought tears to my eyes with your journey. Please know that you did a good job! Stand up and RAWR! say NO! Say Go WITHOUT ME! Say LEAVE ME ALONE and then let him work out his own problems. "im going to the hot dog place tonight, if you want to eat dinner with me, then you will join me there. if not, have fun at Bob Evans."

Im so proud of you!
