In a last ditch attempt to save our marriage, I had begged my ex to leave the company. Despite my willingness to go back to basics, rather than live, in this new, false, destructive world – for him the financial pull had been too strong. The irony is, that within a year of our final separation, he had been sacked.
When he had joined the company, I had immediately gone from being a wife, to an accessory. Don’t get me wrong, there was a lot awry with our relationship before, but the workplace culture had finally killed, any genuine feelings we might have had left for each other. Within a week of him starting full time at the company, he had drunkenly threatened to kill me.
