Deciding factor in your divorce or most serious breakup?

Tweet

Im so confused I can't even see straight anymore. I want to leave the man im with, but I also want to stay and continue our life together. We've lived together for three years and experienced so much together. Heres some background info: Hes not all bad, but he has anger issues and comes from a bad family. I told him a little over a month ago that I was thinking about leaving. I gave him a month to clean up his act. Neither of us had jobs because we both got laid off and we are also down to one car. So I figured I was ready to cut my losses, but instead I gave him another chance. He got a job, works over 40 hours a week and comes home with a smile on his face. When we met he had nothing, and I got him up on his feet and into college. I also got him two jobs which didn't work out, but as you can see I am the only person in his life that ever gave him a fighting chance. The agreement was that it would be his responsibility, and not mine, to save this relationship. So he found a job, works hard and hes trying to be nicer and not let his anger get to him. He's improved 110%, but that doesn't mean were doing well. Were behind on every bill we have because I am not working. But why should I work when it would be my income saving us once again. Hes supposed to be PROVING to me that he can be a MAN and not a 25 year old boy. Hes done almost everything we discussed he should do a month ago. Yet I still feel in my heart like im ready to give up. The only way we can make it is if we can pull enough money together to buy another car so I can get a job. But then once again, it would be me thats keeping our relationship together. He can't do it without me, he can't support me or himself. Whats the deciding factor that made you leave your most serious relationship? What made you want to stay the most? Did you ever feel guilty??
