Why I Can't Get a Divorce

[perzephone]

1) I cannot drive.

2) I am in deep financial debt.

3) I'm kinda drawing a blank here. Oh, yeah, been married over 10 years. I'd have to pay the fucker alimony.

I'm just kind of wondering if it would be worth the hassle. There's so much that goes into planning a divorce. Luckily there are no major financial holdings to take into consideration. The worst that would happen is his mother trying to drag me into civil court for money that she would think I owed her. I'm 36 years old. I've been basically married since I was 19. That's like, 17 years there. I'm planning on killing myself when I hit 50. Is it worth the trouble for maybe 10 years of precious alone time? It's not like I'd be leaving Rob for anyone else, other than myself. It's not like he's abusive, just extremely annoying.

I think what's getting to me, the core of the problem, is that I've changed myself so much to suit him that I don't even know myself anymore.

Why can't you drive?

Defective Drivers

When I was born, the doctors crushed the side of my head w/the salad spoons & my left eye socket was permanently deformed. I now have no depth perception and sometimes my eyes get tired and turn off. Or one gets tired & rolls up into my eye socket. Chillingly awesome special effect, but startling when I'm walking somewhere.

The DMV has no problem giving me a license, even though I have to go to an optometrist to get an eye chart test. If those people will give me a driver's license, it terrifies me to think who else is out there on the road. O.o
