My wife and I were together seventeen years and she came with the same line earlier this year. I thought she was screwing around and she didn't want to leave until I found the guy she was with left his wife. It was hard but like you my wife just wanted out so I kept the house, gave her what was fair and moved on. Best move I ever made. Why be with someone who doesn't want to be with you? I know my wife and her new boyfriend will be cheating on each other like they did with me and his wife in a few years. Snakes deserve each other. Man, look at every event like this as a new opportunity. I am going out to Vegas next weekend with some buds and going to have a blast. Good luck in your venture!

Again, not being a dick. But did you mess around on her? Drink too much and neglect the kids for years?

What she did is inexcusable for sure. Always two sides though. Lets hear them both.


No, you not being a dick, that's a fair question. She has kids from a previous marriage and I raised them. I like to drink but she is the type that when we went out drinking wanted to stay to close as she couldn't stop. She got tired of my gambling and I am sure at times I neglected her and her needs when I was gambling or playing softball or basketball. It never bothered me when she would go out with her friends. I probably should have noticed the changes over time with her actions but to be honest if I cared that much at the time I probably would of. I wish her no will ill. I am the type that loves my job, realizes life is short and I feel if I just wake up and live my life honest and to the fullest good things will come.

Agreed, this will probably piss a few guys off but when a woman cheats on you it's the your fault.

Women only want a couple of things, security and passion. If you can meet those needs women are pretty faithful.

I knew it was coming as we have been growing apart the last 5 years or so. I am still kind of shocked and the kids are taking it very hard. The one good thing is we hammered out an agreement ourselves so at least no lawyers are involved. She's on vacation with my son this week and then she is moving in with her Mom. She is letting me have the house and I will be buying her out. Never thought it would happen to us but indeed it did and I am having a very hard time excepting it. There is no on else and she just decided she would be happier by herself. She said I deserve better and hopes I find someone that will make me happy. :>(

Wow you must be a fucking asshole to live with.

Just kidding, same thing happen to me, 15 years I felt like a failure but hey I moved on. I took to sampling the many fine offerings of the women around me. I never thought I would say it but I found me a better one. She loves me and takes care of me. I was totally up front about my gambling and we gamble together for big games. Actually I gamble she spends the winnings, it works out. You'll move on. One thing that came out of it I became much closer to my kid. You will to. Good Luck! Hey you can now see if Italian women really taste like spaghetti or if Russian chicks taste like Vodka. Get your buddies to buy you a drink. You can ride the sympathy card for a while until they catch on your just stringing them along for the free drinks. Enjoy your new found freedom Bud.

Wow. Sounds like the ticket to success....

To each his own I guess.

My Divorce was the BEST thing to ever happen to me,,

god she was beautiful, and oh god was she a monster!! I know youve said things are amicable, and you 2 are finishing it civilly, thats cool,,

I wish yout he best,

Probably the worst part of it is that SHE did it to you first, so once that sting is over I think your gonna be suprised at how cool things are gonna be when you,,,

1. Dont put the dam toilet seat down!
2. Dont gotta fold Laundry her way ONLY
3. Dont ever have to release the remote!
4. Dont have to hear her complain that your grabbing your 5th beer!! "Im thirsty ok!!"
lol

5. Dont have to change the sheets in your bed but every month or 2!

One Of The Many Things I've Learned During

my many yrs on earth. Women ARE NOT "the weaker sex"! They're way tougher than we are emotionally. They can take a walk and never look back much easier than we can. No remorse. Sorry if you're hurting right now, but it WILL get better, trust me. The next time you get that "2nd look" from that cute little blonde @ the grocery store, you can now ask her "where are the lobsters?" BOL

I never thought a bunch of degenerate gamblers could make me feel better but indeed you all have and thanks. I have no choice but to move on and I will. To be honest with you I realize now we were together for all the wrong reasons. Nice house in the burbs, nice cars, big screen TV's. We were closer when we first got married and had to struggle just to pay our bills. Our son is going to college locally in the fall so he will be around to keep me company.

PS I think I'm just going to take the high road and give her the $700 Christmas tree she bought. Of course I'll be keeping the 58" plasma that I told her only cost 1k.
