    It's hard to think about after that long, but if it was not something that could be worked out then I guess and hopefully for the best. Good luck moving forward

    Going through that process right now. She's gone from I want a divorce, to let's legally separate, to lets separate without the courts being involved in the span of two weeks.

    I think my feeling bad is going to last about 10-12 hours and is mostly due to that last glass of Heaven Hill. By way of treating the blues I went and ordered myself a new deer rifle and scope and nobody asked, "why do you need another gun?". Can't wait to put it through the paces

    I know exactly how you feel sir but at least when the shoe fell for me I only had five years of skin in the game. When the ex said we should separate for a while I gave her an either or ultimatum; we work it out or I’m out (we’d been trying to work it out for 18+ months). When she started crying I walked in to the bedroom, took off my ring then grabbed a beer from the fridge and went and sat back down with her. The weight of the world was off my shoulders and I haven’t looked back.

    Divorced 33 years ago. Cost me a lot of money and part of my pension. Was really hard to get ahead till kids were all 18. She is still working I’ve been retired 6 years. Was hard on the kids.

    Had a practice wife for almost 6 years, we were together 8 years. It was a hard decision, but was the best for me and her, though she didn't see it at the time. The current wife and I will be married for 22 years this may and I am not sure life could be any better.

    You never hear a man say "Boy being divorced is going really bad" hope you are happy brother.

    Been there as well. Glad you both came to a conclusion that is best for each of you. We only come this way once and constantly being unhappy and wasting eachothers time is not worth it. Enjoy the rest of your time; whatever that happens to entail.

    PS...I found someone that is incredible and will not spend a day without her. Shes out there for you too, if you want to find her. Cheers.

    Money can buy you happiness...and you know what I mean. Just don't cling onto whomever you find next like some guys do. Maybe back then you didn't know what you needed when you got married but now you do, and just a heads up you are going to be surprised just how messed up the new women you are going to be meeting and not in a good way.
