Re: husband chose not to work--do I pay [Re: Miranda]
      #763363 - 09/26/11 11:17 AM

I am legally blind since birth but have always worked, I married my husband in May, 2002 and in Feb, 2003 he voluntarily quit his job and tried to get SSA for back pain, he repeatedly would get rejected. So for 9 years I supported him when I had a full time job and then when I could no longer drive a car because of my blindness, I inherited a campsite business from my father's trust which we have been living on. We have no children, I am 59 years old and he is 54. For the last two years, he has gotten addicted to pain pills he got from his brother, once a nice man has become abusive verbally and physically to me and threatened me many times, when I refused to sign over my inheritance to him he said he would divorce me and take it all away from me and make me homeless. I was terrified of him and when he beat me I would threaten to call the police and he said if I did that his brother would kill me and burn down my house on my family farm which I inherited. The last time he got violent I locked myself in my bedroom and threatened to call the cops, he said he would kill me but he left. I have no witnesses and I am terrified of him. I depended on him and his family for rides to the store for food and I paid them for helping me with my business. When I inherited land from my dad's trust, I sold some of it and bought my husband a new Toyota truck, new tires and thousands of dollars of hunting equip, guns, computers, cash. Now that the money is all gone, he is filing for divorce and says he will make me support him for the rest ofhis life, he refuses to seek employment and says no one can make him because he has a bad back. I am blind and I work, I get no assistance but a cane from Blind services. MY husband claims he can't work but he built my barn kit, goes hunting and fishing and demanded sex 4 times a day...but he got a lump sum payment from SSA for the years he claimed he couldn't work and he spent all of that too, he gave me nothing of it and they rejected him for monthly payments as they say he is able to work now. I am beside myself with worry, I gave him all the money I had $5000 so he wouldn't be penniless. He said I was a selfish, stupid, blind, retarded mother fucker every day, he put bruises on me, broke things that I cared about and put knots on my head that hurt for weeks. He said it wouldn't make any difference if I told anyone since I didn't call the cops no one would believe me, I am blind and therefore stupid and useless. when he left me here alone, I was stranded for 6 weeks before I could get a friend to come take me to the store. I lived off potatoes and tomato soup. Will I have to pay this man alimony? he refuses to look for work and I know he has a girlfriend, but in Florida there is only no fault divorce. I am so sad, I feel so useless, I have no money and he says I have no friends but my friends wouldn't come around because of him. I hired a lawyer with all themoney I had left and I didn't have money to pay my household bills as my husband cleaned out our checking accounts. is there any hope for me, will I have to pay alimony to this man? he refuses to work, I have supported him for 9 years and he has never given me not even a wedding ring.

Lady GG you need to start your own thread. Alot of posters will miss this because you tacked it onto a thread from 2010.

When I read these posts, I don't see any logical thinking here or constructive "advice" all I see is bitterness and comtempt for WOMEN, and this guy "hansblinz" is like SCAREY! I am thinking it doesn't make any difference what is just or right or what the laws say....who has the best lawyer? I can see me having to support this [censored] I married for the rest of his life while he sits on his ass and I struggle, and if someone gets a feeling of satisfaction from seeing a blind person who has worked all their adult life with no ASSISTANCE from anyone, including any government programs (except foundation for the blind did give me a cane, hurray I am so grateful for that! heheeh NOT) support a man who leeched off her while he sits on a nice new bass boat with his girlfriend having fun doing NOTHING then ENJOY....cuz anyone that MEAN must love to be smug about seeing another WOMAN PAY, oh poor you, Hansblinz.....are you a victim? Gosh I feel SO SORRY FOR YOU! hehe NOT!
