Such a good marriage and close to retirement till he....

I know marriage takes two people that is two people working darn hard to keep it together. Because at the start it was love that kept it going, but soon that kind of still there but it slows down.
This is a second marriage for us both, it was so much fun there for a while. Till I turned 70 and he is 69. He started telling me people thought he looked only 55. I said hope that stays for you.
I should have known, but didn't see. The person that told my husband he looked all of 55 is his new girlfriend she is all of 47. A Mexican gal, married with two children. She lives just west of our house and the spring of 2021 she got my husband to force me out of our house.
I moved in with our son in another town. I still love my husband, put up one hell of a fight for the man. But he won't give up the girlfriend, I believe now she controls him.
At my age there is health problems and things. I am a Christian and believe in my vows. He has left Jesus says He won't take him. Right.
Ah the battle is still going on, now husband wants to retire and wants me to go back to work so he can do this. But won't give up the girlfriend so I won't agree to work, so he can't retire. One wonders what happens when he is forced into retirement?
Because he has diabetes but won't take care of it and he drives a truck for a living.
So I am retired and enjoying it; guess maybe husband is enjoying things as well.
My life right now is a story to be had. Maybe I should write a book?
