“I’d Lose My Marriage, My Kids”: 50 Secrets That These People Keep From Their Loved Ones I'm contemplating on disappearing from my husband and family. Everyone in my life has been a negative force and has made me depressed for years. I been saving money for the past 3 years and thinking about leaving a note and getting on a plane and disappearing to another country. I don't have children so I have nothing for me to stay here for.

Leaving a note is a very cruel way to say farewell. If they are not dangerous to you or ways to leave than talk to them. Even if someone makes you depressed they might care for you more than you think. Don't let them suffer if you don't have to.

I agree. Leaving someone in that way will likely leave them wondering what they did wrong. They might be unable to move on and in the worst case literally ruin their life.

Hopefully she isn't leaving debt or financial responsibility on him and is saving so that doesn't happen. As someone that is married, if my husband just randomly did this it would destroy my life. Just at least get a divorce first before you disappear so everything is settled.

Is it that everyone is making you depressed, or that you're projecting your negative feelings onto everyone? In which case, changing scenery might help for a bit, but it's not gonna fix the roof cause of the problem. Regardless, I agree with other comments. Leave if you must, but don't just up and disappear. That's just cruel to the husband and family. At the very least divorce the husband first, so he can also have a clean slate and not have to deal with the legalities of you disappearing on top of being abruptly left.

I'm on the side of not jumping to conclusions here after reading 1 paragraph. "Everyone in my life has been a negative force and has made me depressed for years." could mean the person is not a good fit for their family/culture/surroundings/etc. Or it could mean that they have problems of their own (mental health, unrealistic expectations) and are looking for another solution. Or a bit of both. Some people do feel happier after moving. Others simply move their unhappiness to a new location. In between, there's a range, such as someone getting culture shock and either trying to adapt or rethinking their original plan.

Just go. Enjoy your life before it makes you too sad to enjoy anything. If you need to leave a note just write to your family and then ur hubs that you will be ok but better off alone and away from them. And go. Drive in one direction. Find a small out of the way place. Get a place to live and an easy happy job. Become a writer or artist. Do what ever you dreamed of trying. Be that eccentric person every town has and loves.

She can at least divorce her husband so he can have the chance to move on with his life, especially if he ends up meeting someone else. You can file for a divorce and still go no contact with your family but don't just leave someone with a legal mess to clean up because you want an easy out.

If its whats going to make her happen, I hope she does it. Truly. But maybe she needs to talk with her husband/family first, maybe try to work things out, or at least offer explanation of why she's leaving. Especially try to get a divorce because legally, you'd still be married and starting a new life whilst technically still married is going to be difficult, surely?

Or you could divorce him, go low/no contact with them, and use your money to get some therapy. If they aren't a danger to you, fantasizing about running away and disappearing often means that you are trying to 'run away' from yourself. It doesn't work, because where ever you go, there you are. Travel or move overseas if you want to, but don't expect it to fix you, you have to put in the work to fix yourself.

My mom was out mowing for him on a really hot day. It should be noted all of us are grown up and out of the house. Anyways my dad came home for lunch and my mom is drenched in sweat and looks miserable and yells to my dad "this mower isn't self propelled for s**t!" Which my dad shows her she has to pull up on this lever and voila there it goes. We continue to give her some s**t for that to this day.

Well 2 years ago we were getting me and my wifes house ready for our backyard wedding to save $. My dad came down and was helping me get everything up and going including yard work. He mowed using my mower and I was doing other s**t. At the end he said to me "man your mower is a piece of s**t. It doesn't self propel at all" and I proceeded to show him basically the exact same lever to make it self propelled. He looks at me and goes "OH s**t I did it too! Nobody can ever know until my death bed ok? Especially Jon". Jon is his best friend.

“I’d Lose My Marriage, My Kids”: 50 Secrets That These People Keep From Their Loved Ones I’m happy my older brother passed away. Yeah, I do get sad here and there, but he was always in and out of jail my entire life. When he was out, he wasn’t really around as he was chasing the next way to make quick cash. He became a junkie at the age of 38 and OD at the age of 43. Left behind 4 kids as well. Now, I’m not happy he died alone and scared, it’s just that I know where he is now, if that makes sense. There is no more worried phone calls from my mom and his kids asking if he’s back in jail, or where he is. When he was locked up, we really didn’t worry as we knew where he was. I can’t tell my mom that, even though she’s is pain from losing her first child, it just doesn’t hit me the same. I also get bitter towards her for always talking about it and my response is “he’s not suffering, looking for his next fix, and we know where he is now.”

I love my brother and always have. But the weight that’s lifted off my shoulders feels amazing.

I truly do feel for his kids though. They never got a chance to meet the awesome person he was before drugs and crime

“I’d Lose My Marriage, My Kids”: 50 Secrets That These People Keep From Their Loved Ones I can't show my mother, the person that inspired/motivated me the most to the creative arts, my work due to it having some LGBT aspects.

For context, we live in a country where gay marriage is still illegal, our highly religious society condems it and violence against it is rampant.

I've seen my mom trying to claw her way out of that mindset and went from religious taught raging homophobia to being "just" somewhat uncomfortable with it but generally accepting. But as she grows older the toxic echo chamber grows louder and she is just too tired to keep fighting it. She just keeps her thoughts to herself nowadays.

It makes me really sad I can't show her how far her encouraging words have taken me, but at this point she just wants to live comfortably. I don't want her to rock the boat and get harrassed by people around her for showing her support and pride for me.

I’ve always disliked my sister. She loves me and looks up to me and always wants to talk and be near me but I just don’t like her. It started with things like her telling people she grew up in an affluent part of New York when she did not. Or when my mom took her to get her first car and she took photos with my mom but then went to take photos in front of her friends house because it was nicer and posted those so people would think she lived in a better area. Or when I noticed she never shared holiday photos with our family and only shared holiday photos with her in laws in them. Our mom was poor, she’s missing teeth, she doesn’t look like an elegant older lady from a Cialis commercial, but her MIL does and her sister in law is the typical Christian girl autumn instagram mom type.

She’s embarrassed by her upbringing and by us, and I think she’s a terrible person for it.

Makes me think of the classic Australian novel "Hating Alison Ashley", where the protagonist Erika is horribly jealous and spiteful toward the new girl Alison for living in a nice house with plenty of nice things and parents who have money, and is arrogant and dismissive toward her own family for being what she considers uncouth and lower-class. But she ultimately finds out that Alison envies *her* because for all the nice things that she has her divorced mother is cold and demanding, while Erika's family is close knit and loving. Before learning her lesson, Erika also has a major habit of telling grandiose lies to try and make her life and family sound more glamorous. (It's a great book! Childhood favourite of mine).

“I’d Lose My Marriage, My Kids”: 50 Secrets That These People Keep From Their Loved Ones How extremely close I am to just leaving everything behind.
Getting in a car and just driving away - boarding the next plane no matter where it goes - just getting on a train and leaving. I think about that daily.

My whole life I kind of waited for things to happen, my current situation is mostly because I almost never take the initiative and do something daring. It’s not that I’m unhappy with my life - it just seems so boring and I feel like I exist more than I actively live.

I have a small amount of money on the side, I know 4 languages and I don’t mind doing s****y jobs to get settled.

Theoretically I could leave right now - but a part of me still thinks I owe my friends and family something and I couldn’t just leave.

I'm married and have been in a loving polyamorous relationship with another married woman for almost 2 years. My wife is also in a relationship with the same woman and her husband.

Due to ALL of our religious upbringings, if either of our families or social circles found out about what really goes on with our "best friends", it would be a scandal at best, catastrophic at worst. We all love each other and spend most of our free time with one another but we have to keep a very significant chunk of our lives a closely guarded secret and it's hard.

I'm asexual.
I've tried with my mother but that went nowhere and was upsetting her so I said wow you're gullible and act differently to keep up the charade.
I have no interest in sex a relationship with either sex I enjoy me myself and I.
Her first response to it how do I know without having a relationship with anyone.
Like how people know what they like gay straight ect.
Porn doesn't do anything for me.
If I'm horny I just deal with it myself and that's that.
My father highly religious would reject me so I just keep to myself and enjoy my life.
My mother still tries to get me to meet people I just decline the offer it's not me and I won't waste a person's time knowing my stance it's not fair to them.

I get the Ace part, but the suggestion is that their asexuality is coupled with a lack of desire for intimacy and partnership, which are not inherently sexual. I know quite a few Ace couples and even more Ace individuals who still date or seek nonsexual companionship.

well, to be fair, you probably were depressed before and while you were drinking...you were self-medicating w/ drink...now that you are not drinking, nothing to mask the pain...please go to a therapist and get medication specifically designed for depression before you start self-medicating again....all the best of luck

I can relate somewhat. My biggest reason for remaining single and child free is because I want it that way, but I also know that my personality isn't suited for relationships and kids.

“I’d Lose My Marriage, My Kids”: 50 Secrets That These People Keep From Their Loved Ones My eldest brother, who is over 15 years older than me, is actually my half brother. Aside from my parents, I'm the only one who knows. He's framed his entire life on the lineage of our father, who adopted him when he was 1 when he married my mother. He'll never know. He just had a baby this month, a little girl. Dad is already in love with his granddaughter. It'll be on my shoulders to tell him when my parents pass.

I hate my brother in law to the point I can’t be around him. His a sneaky manipulative loser who just uses people while picking up and dropping friends and family when they are useful. The amount of times I’ve had my fiancé crying on me about the latest trash things his done to her and then in the next breath is defending him.

The amount of financial and mental abuse she’s put up from him but because his the golden child the rest of the family won’t hear anything bad about him. So rather then him making him cry in front of everyone and nuking the situation I just stay away and make excuses not to attend family events.

Just how much any of them makes me unhappy. It's not really one secret since each person hurts me a different way. But I think it's just my mental illness that's really making me feel this. Because I irrationally hate everyone.

I have two (I've only told my wife these two stories): Growing up my father was the manager of a grocery store. He stole from the store - but it was usually cereal for us kids, crackers for the family, and never a lot and never anything the family didn't **need**. He did it to help us make ends meet. (Yes, it took me until my teen years to realize this). One day my mom took me shopping and be, being a 5 year old during a relatively safe time for a 5 year old to wander around a store unattended (70's) I was in the bakery and my dad walked up to me and shoved a bunch of muffins in my coat pockets (it was winter, so I had a big winter jacket on). When we got home I started to take them out and my mom started to get mad at me for stealing. I told her that dad had put them in my pockets. She instantly stopped, but I can still tell today she was very angry. When my dad got home my mom sent my sister and I to one of our rooms to play. My parents never fought but there was an argument going. He never had me steal anything again. But, the thought that he would use his child to steal from a store. I've always had a disrespect for people who use their children to commit a crime (and yes, it was just some muffins, but still). If you do it your self then you're putting yourself at risk but if you use your child then not only are you putting them at risk, you're teaching them a really bad lesson. The second one, my first serious relationship (mid 1990's, about 2 years long) with the first girl I actually loved. She had a rough home life and was susceptible to bad influences but when she was with me she tried to be a better person (and wanted to be a better person). We were great together but as time progressed things fell apart and we broke up. During one of our post breakup fights she claimed I didn't know anything about her but I told her I was working with the company I worked for at the time to transfer me to the next state so I could be close to the college she really wanted to go to (and help her be able to afford to go). Instantly the anger in her face disappeared and was replaced with self-disappointment. It was the last time I saw her in person. She called me a couple of years later but I had spent the day deep sea fishing with my GF at that time and I was extremely tired (it was rough seas, even for the north Atlantic). I kinda blew her off and she ended up hanging up on me. If I have the timing right, she took her life roughly 6-8 months later.

“I’d Lose My Marriage, My Kids”: 50 Secrets That These People Keep From Their Loved Ones That I genuinely don’t love them (my parents specifically). I just feel like there is no reason to owe a life debt to two people just because they brought you to this hellhole of a planet. I should be grateful that I’m here? I didn’t ask for this. It’s your fault that I’m here. You can’t pay for things because you gave yourselves a third person to take care of. Not my choice. You want me to give up my contentment to simp for a metaphysical deity that you believe in only because you were essentially indoctrinated into a legal cult as an easily impressionable child? No. I owe you few thousands of dollars that you don’t even want me to pay back. I can’t tell them this because I don’t like hurting people in general. They did nothing wrong to me, really, that’s just what I feel. I’m sorry if I sound entitled, I’m just adding to this thread.
