Divorce! Hooray!(?)

Mysst · June 2008

My wife of nearly 4 years and I are preparing to separate our stuff and go our different ways. The strange thing here is that, right now at least, there's not really any anger. We're still friends and enjoy just hanging out together, but our lives are going in different directions and for a while now neither of us has been very happy. We've even been going to marriage counseling to see if we could get back to how in love we were when we first got together, but because our life goals aren't the same anymore it's extremely difficult for either of us to see staying in the relationship. There's really no blame assigned to just one of us, if any blame at all exists, and so over the next few months we've got to figure out how to move away from being a married couple to just friends. Our lease is up in December and she'll be leaving the area for a few months immediately after, so the full reality of this may not hit until then, but overall I feel like it'll be OK, and I'm a little anxious about trying to meet women again.

tldr; Gettin' divorced, it's mostly ok, your sister's hot

Whats the percentage for marriages that end up in divorce now a days? Its pretty high I think.

I know some one who has been divorced 3 times and another annulled. He just got married again last month.

why not consider goodbye sex as a healthy alternative to sisters?

Malkor · June 2008

Congratulations!(?)

man i'm sorry

don't be saying stuff about my sister tho, i'll beat you up.

See, it's kind of sad, because we've been married half our adult lives, but at the same time I haven't really been living how I wanted to. Our focus was getting her career situated and not mine, so it really only reinforced my laziness about work and school. Now that I know I'll have to support myself, I've got plans for kicking my degree out quick and look for jobs that are over $11 an hour.

lostwords · June 2008

bang out all her friends and sisters, then have one last time with her, then leave town without saying anything. Critical part 2 right there.

Casper · June 2008

You can have my sister.

I haven't had sex in months, I'll get near your sisters if I can.

Ouch yes this is a good reason

Pretty much everything you have said sounds like my last relationship break-up, only instead of being married we were just living together. Different life goals/directions is a big, big, big, big thing to have to consider in any long-term relationship. Good luck!

that's the kind of thing i'm afraid of in any relationship.

one long-term relationship i had i basically subsumed my own long-term goals and such to the gf. things ended when i "resurfaced" to do new things.

another was the exact reverse situation.

getting that balance just right is freakin tough.

so you finally admitted you love the cock and dropped your beard, huh?

but really, that sucks. At least it wasn't all angry and fighty. hows the settlements and all that jazz gonna work out?

We're just going to no-fault and split up our shit. Luckily, not a lot of things we've gotten has been 'ours', but more 'yours and mine'. For instance, I don't intend on taking the Buffy DVD's and she doesn't want Stargate. Who gets what car is pretty much the biggest decision we have to make, because one still has a payment.

Slagmire · June 2008

You're welcome to my sister... something's gotta make that miserable bitch not be so miserable. Preemptive apologies btw.

CrackedLens · June 2008

sucks mysst

also, my wife and i are pretty happy

What's funny is that she's got an employee that's always talking about wanting to get with me, and I am seriously considering "hittin' that shit" because goddamn, not getting sex after you're used to getting sex is bad for the brain.

Haha, this is the main reason I'm getting a hotel room at PAX. I never intended on her sitting around with strangers while I nerd out with you guys.

and we used to have the 360 in the bedroom in the old house

she fell asleep many times to the sounds of ncaa 2004 and Knights of the Old Republic

Monkeybomb · June 2008

Mysst, how long have you known your future ex-wife?

I've been dating and now living with my girlfriend for a total of 8 years.

Mysst · June 2008

Our 4-year would/will be on July 28th, and we were seeing each other for about 6 months before then.

Monkeybomb · June 2008

Yeah I should probably marry this chick huh.

Mysst · June 2008

Probably, yeah. I mean, we were happy until we weren't. And what's weird is that now that we know it's over, we're happy again, which makes us feel closer than we have for a while, which is confusing as hell.

Know that feeling too.

Divorce is a sin and you will burn in hell.

Seriously though, I always was impressed with people that get divorced in such an adult manner. It's a rare thing these days. Especially when there is a kid involved. I know this because the women in my family change husbands like they change oil filters. Seems like every week I'v lost an uncle or a cousin or a brother in law.

Um... is congratulations appropriate?

Surprise divorce sucks.

Kind of a raw deal you got there.

I think I'll be single for the rest of my days due to being somewhat misogynistic and totally independent.

GRMike · June 2008

Stay away from my sister for serious. Also... you can only crash on my sofa for a week before I make you start paying rent.

See you tonight.

I chalk it off to being too young, now.

It's lame because there was literally no sign of it until the last couple days, from my perspective, but like Mysst, we will probably get along and be happy and fine apart.

Well, the counseling helped a lot. Having someone help you talk through your feelings is very, very useful.

I think my candor got me defriended on LJ. Just as well because reading retarded comments about how girls should 'have a few marriages under their belt' pissed me off.
