Should I just look to upgrade to a newer model?

This is not funny. It's sad actually. We don't have enough information to make a judgement call.

1st after 27 years finding love will be hard, not saying you can't buy it. but you need to find yourself 1st. if this is a question then yes there are problems.

I'm sorry that you have put up with abuse for 27 years. Rather than looking for a "newer" model, maybe you should take some time for yourself. Going from one relationship to another relationship without taking time to heal is not always the answer. If you do choose to leave your abusive relationship, wait a year before jumping into another. If you chose to stay, get some counseling for both of you.

COL Private RallyPoint Member This is posted in Humor, and I do not find it funny Colonel. Maybe your partner would want to trade you in for a newer model.

Two sides to every story. Maybe you should ask for her side, seriously and honestly, and go from there. It sure would suck to dump someone that has been loyal to you all this time, only to find out you were the problem all along. Or at least the majority of it.

1. Get counseling. Hard to believe there is nothing there worth saving after you have been together for 27 years. 2. There is a good chance that one of the reasons you have been together for so long is that you also had long periods separate from one another. There is no shame in taking time for yourself (think three week fishing trip or something along those lines) when things start to become unbearable.

Can only speculate here. I had 3 kids and went 18 years with mine. It was a really bad situation. I should have left 12 years earlier. It has been 7 years, I have been remarried for over 2 and I am very happy.

Well this is posted in humor so I have a feeling this isn't a serious post. If it's a joke - abuse isn't something to joke about. Anyone can call me snowflake or whatever - but sorry. Abuse isn't funny.

If you are talking about a relationship with a spouse, if there is no love, honor, and respect in the relationship, then that is not a relationship worth having. If you're talking about a car, that's different. Insufficient data at this time for me to check a box.

LMAO Kind of a toss up between 1 and 2, COL! Cheaper to keep her! I'm going on 29 years. She has me trained, an vice versa. I get to buy guns and bike parts without TOO long of a sermon, and she puts up with me and still offers some luvin some times!
Can you imagine starting all over? I don't know if I could do it! Hahaha
