The love of my life is in Europe traipsing around the Louvre, sitting in A-Dam cafes sipping coffee, grabbing Berlin wall pebbles, looking at how good life is, I taught her well. Being the good teacher I am, I have learned 10 years doesn't mean anything to the one you love newly married to a Korean man making 3 times what I earn in a year. My question, "Should we remain lifetime friends after 10 years of bliss?".

So she worked a murphy on you, eh? Perhaps it's better to take your broken heart to a bar rather than spilling out over the sides on here...

Hell no.

While you're sitting there being supportive and caring, she's going to be blowing this wealthy choad monkey every day for the continued use of the BMW.

Move on.

When you have not had kids together, then playing stepping stones is a lot easier for someone who is a social climber.

We're gonna need more details than that. Basically I think any woman you treat too well will eventually do this. It is only her instinct to go out and seek something that she doesn't have. Any girl I've ever fawned over has been quick to give me a boot to the sack emotionally. Once you start treating them like dirt you take away their power and they suddenly become so loving and wonderful. All the arguments and turmoil turn to puppy dogs and ice cream cones. As soon as you let them know you care again they start tap-dancing on your nads.

I say ignore her. Any woman that would walk away after 10 years of "bliss" probably never was worth your time. I know it hurts and I know it sucks. She will likely come running back once you stop paying attention to her.

It seems to bother you that some dude makes 3x more than you. We can all circumvent this problem by saving hoardes of cash. I've said it before, if you can't save money here you have a serious wh0ring problem. Lots of these "salarymen" I meet are too busy cheating on their wives and buying new cars to save. Have a long-term plan and keep your head up.

Wow, excellent slap to the face of a guy who's obviously in pain. I'm sure that's just the kind of response he was hoping to get.

Thank you men, I feel like I have regained a sense of dignity from your response. I've taken a warm shower and am looking forward to next spring. She was HOT though.

Imagine if you'd gotten married and had kids together and then she did this. You are much better off than 99% of American men who are victims of similar circumstances.

You also didn't mention you had to give her 1/2 your $hit, alimony, or pay a lawyer..... See what I'm getting at?

Forget about her. Move on and enjoy your life. Don't worry; someday Karma will show up on her doorstep and kick her a.ss

Time heals all wounds. htrain pointed out some definite positives in the separation. Feel comfort in knowing that it is a clean split, no matter how much it hurts emotionally.

Sorry to hear that. Major suckage for you!

1) Don't maintain contact or in the event she gets bored of the money, misses the more humble yet adventurous life with you, and files for divorce, you may be used as the 'backup plan.'

2) This event is a good thing for you. It means you didn't see eye to eye on what's valuable in life anyway. Better it happened now than after marriage or kids.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Mr Kong, hot schmot---who's to say your life wouldn't have been hell (if) once married to Madame Beamer?

On the bright side, you'll never have the (dis)pleasure of finding out.

Find a best friend and marry her.
