I think probably what is going to happen to humanity is we become like the ents

Like the women ents sucked so the men ents sent them to another country and then they got to chill in the forest with no bitching and occasionally they’d come out and overthrow an evil wizard or whatever


It’s really the ideal society

Just some friendly non-legal, no client relationship advice:

I don’t know where you live but in both TX and LA, you will be presumed to be the father of the child, even if you finalized a divorce today. A child born within 300 days of the termination of the marriage is presumed yours.

So don’t sit on the paternity test. You only have a limited time to bring a legal action to disavow your presumed paternity, and you’ll need some proof such as a paternity test. In LA, you must file this action before the child turns 1. There is a longer time in TX, but it’s not forever, so I would still act quickly.

It was so sudden. I honestly didn’t see the red flags until it happened. The red flags are that she didn’t communicate anything to me. When she told me, it was too late.

this is key. And it includes figuring out how your current marriage unraveled, taking honest stock in your part. Not easy to see yourself from someone else's point of view. Much easier to be defensive or play the victim.

I've seen many friends cart all their unaddressed baggage with them to the next (younger) chick only to have that implode even quicker.

Regardless of whether I am an alcoholic by definition, my drinking was bad for us. That could definitely be a primary reason for her leaving. Why she never had a “come to Jesus” talk about it with me, I’ll never know. I don’t think that explains why she’s seemingly leaving me for another man.

She told you, it was just in a non-verbal, woman logic kind of way. You’re supposed to just pick up on it and know what to do.

Because giving into lust is a heck of a lot easier than sitting down and working on your marriage.

Women always believe the grass is greener. In most cases, it's because they aren't over there fricking it up yet.

ETA: in my experience women are incapable of caring for 2 people at the same time. Relationships are emotional to them, so if she was already messing around with dude that's where her care was and frankly she didn't give a shite about you or your drinking. You were an inconvenience she had not taken care of yet.

Most likely, and in her mind, she had many discussions with you about everything that was bothering her in small amounts, but you didn’t hear it and you didn’t recognize it.

People don’t leave what they have unless what they believe they are going to is better.

Focus on the things you didn’t like about her.

Go to Russia or Ukraine when your ready for a new one. If they still actually want to live in our country anymore.

There’s some truth to this I’m sure. She admitted to holding back because of the stress I dealt with on a daily basis and tried to shoulder the burden herself.

Oddly enough, she had second thoughts about having a child but…didn’t communicate that to me either.

She’s leaving me for someone who is ten years older than me (15 older than her). He is bailing on a family that includes two kids, oldest entering middle school.

My advice is don't jump into another relationship because it's going to end badly. Take time to find yourself and slowly start dating or just doing things with friends. Went through a divorce 10 years ago and it was tough because we were married almost 20 years and two kids. She jumped into a relationship and she regretted it. I didn't start dating until a little over a year and I still wasn't ready. It will get better but it's not a quick process.
