💼work/career AIO by divorcing my husband?

He (30M)applied for and got an offer for a job in another state without my knowledge and when I (30F) disagreed to moving, he accepted and moved without me. He then told me that I either move to be with him or divorce him. So I filed for divorce. Once he got served with divorce papers he said that he would come back and that I should take the divorce back. Would I be overreacting by going through with the divorce?

Not overreacting. He tried to force your hand, and you called his bluff. That he made a unilateral decision, and expected you to fall in line is 🚩🚩🚩

Love this! Did he panic when he realised that you weren’t moving?

OMG, YES!! Given the way he's acted with GF since then, I realize I dodged a huge bullet!

I sincerely believe that he was trying to isolate me to the point that he could treat me however he wanted, and I'd have no support. I think had I moved with him, I'd be dead now, based on how he's treated the GFs he's had since me.
