On that 'uplifting' note, what made you realize it was time for a divorce?


It's over as soon as you have an expectation of what marriage is. If you say things like, "I want a wife/husband who (blah blah blah)", then it's not going to last because you're taking some idea you imagined in your head and trying to superimpose it on a real person.

It also helps to realize that you are also a real person and probably don't fit the mold of someone else's ideal husband/wife.

you know your marriage is over when...oh my God, i've been avoiding this thread coz it hurts...it hurts. Crying or Very sad i've just recently divorced and it hurts because i want to get back together but she thinks i'm dirt. Crying or Very sad

well, i did things that were slightly unethical to me but to her were, well... Crying or Very sad i'll never go to Thailand/Phillipines/Cambodia again alone without my ball n' chain! Crying or Very sad

%#@!, loveless! I just got through bringing us back on topic! Now you want to change the thread title?

The answer to your question is simple, but hard to do: forgive yourself.

He managed to spend hundreds of thousands on Darwin knows what. A bastard kid, hookers, gambling, I don't know. This was future house money. I don't care about the money, though. I care about the lying. I'd even offered to let him take a year off when work was stressful, and that I'd support him. It's his loss.



H of T of won or dollars?
Would you be content with him if he openly told you about his hookers and toad racing, then?

Ka-boom! Number one reason takes it again. Money.

Yeah that's a doozie, there. He obviously wasn't thinking about your future.

...Although...was that all his money or was some/most/all of it yours? I would still say expectation was the hidden culprit.

Anyway, that was a no brainer decision for you Smile That's a the nice kind of break that you don't feel bad about.

i'm so loveless and i just dont know what to do! Crying or Very sad

i'm still in love with her! Embarassed

even after all the pain and struggle...so, in love with her... Crying or Very sad

there's a bra that she left behind with the scent of her usual perfume that i can't stop smelling every time i think of her at night... gee, am i crazy? love-crazy or lovedrunk..or just insane? oh my, gee...am i to blame? Crying or Very sad

i call and just wait and listen if her angelic voice will greet me, 'ang-yong'!
...but it never does... Crying or Very sad
