So did your wanting to be kinky cause some emotional barriers, which caused her to go look elsewhere?

Also, certainly you knew she was boring in the sack before you got married right? Just curious here.

I can only imagine what you're going through, man.
My philosophy is, whatever you NEED to do, to get through it, NEEDS to be done. Don't let the fear of guilt or regret hold you back. Fill that void. Don't sit there moping over how vast it appears or it will suck you right in.

Casual relationships don't compare to marriage. Ever.

Divorce means the marriage failed. You failed. She failed. It's awful. I hope I never have to go through it.

And when children are involved? Scary situation, if you ask me.

It was more of I wanted sex and she didn't. There were underlying emotional issues from her past that I should have realized were going to come up later.


When we first started dating we had awesome sex. Crazy sex. We were both like horny teenagers and it was really beautiful and I fell in love with that girl.

Time and marriage and changes in us and children and work just started to eat away at our relationship and we lost that magic. And I was too blind to see what was going on. I worked all the time and drank when I wasn't to fill the void of not being loved at home.

But I understand where she was. And now...I don't entirely blame her. We're all people with needs. And when someone's aren't being met...well, if she hadn't stepped out, eventually I would have.


We just stopped being good for each other and were in a maelstrom of misery that was killing us both slowly. I was so depressed that last year.

Man, let me give you a little advice. Do not by any means jump straight into another relationship for the rebound. I did this and many others have as well and this relationship can be worse than your marriage.

Other than the above, I suggest that you surround yourself with family (do you have brothers or sisters?) and friends. Also you could really benefit from a hobby like Karate, Music, Art etc. Good luck bro.

There's nothing wrong with a casual relationship after divorce. you just have to realize it for what it is
, a rebound

I was not aware karate was considered an adult hobby. I am heading to a local dojo immediately. Props to rehabilitated divorcees.

Knowing that in six months I would be glad that crazy motherfricker was gone helped me tremendously

A strong support system of friends and family, and the occasional drunken night.

kids make everything that much more difficult in terms of divorce. If they are under 2, then it shouldn't be too bad but anytime after that they will start wondering why you/your SO isn't around anymore. I think I would stay married even if I wasn't happy for the kids.
