Oh. That sucks having to do lawyers. We're doing uncontested. Just have to pay $425 to justice of the peace. She wanted me to lie and move up the seperation date. I refused. But we are still able to talk.
Though just in case I kept copies of our phone records and vehicle location data(new cars all get tracked in apps) showing she was moved on weeks after moving out. My wife started getting 1 hour calls twice a day from this guy. I didn't suspect anything at first. He is in his 50s and looks much older and is fat and bald. But I never really trusted platonic friends.
Plus I was done. I've been telling friends for two years I wanted a divorce.
So I'm not really unhappy with the separation. I was more just adjusting to the change and being single in this online dating world.

It does not sound like there was open communication there. If you do not present yourself to be open to communication, then of course she isn't going to tell you anything. That doesn't mean she was gaslighting you. It just means you missed all of the signs of her unhappiness.

If you are having meltdowns about work and stress here, she is going to feel that 10x more living in a house with you. If you project that onto her and make her carry that burden too, she is going to crumble. If you are not openly trying to actively resolve issues(not just saying you will do x, y or z) and work through things, this is the end result.


You just sound like the typical male placing blame on her. The natural emotion when someone leaves you is to play the victim. But if you don't soul search and acknowledge these things you will never grow. To me, you are focusing on the incidents you had with her and not focusing on why things came to that.

but it could be that she is the real victim. If she married a man who drank socially but not excessively, and during the marriage he turned into a besotted drunk I can certainly understand why she went looking elsewhere.
get lost


There is a good chance this guys 'wife' is carrying a coworker/friend of theirs baby. But maybe she is the 'real victim' and you can 'certainly understand' her side.

When we had the agreed split talk. My wife said making them walk the entire freedom trail put her and her daughters off on vacations with me.
The next two vacations after were her choice. Orange Beach with the band parents and A cruise with the band parents. I had an Alaska trip booked for this July but I canceled it and used the money to go to Amsterdam and Paris on my own.
Then I sold a ring I got her and used that money for two trips to Isla Mujeres (the island of woman) where being a blue eyed American gets you far .

A lot of people say gym. I think that's the best advice. Put anger into lifting and cardio.

You'll feel better. I got into size large shirts and down to a 34 inch waist when all my pants are 40.

You'll feel better about your body and yourself and that helps with confidence. Confidence is the most important thing. Fat ugly guys with confidence pull women pretty guys with no confidence don't.


Just don't be super petty and take a picture of some random girls bikini hanging on the furniture in your hotel suite and text your ex "enjoy your new fat slob old man, I'm enjoying my time with women who don't need to wear a one piece and a skirt on the beach"

That didn't go over well.

Yep. I found women love sail boats. Slow. Have a place to pee, and actual seating not just pads on fiberglass.
Having a boat gives you ready to go long dates.

It’s sad that the husband has to drink to want to touch the wife

If only she would stop eating and maybe get a gym membership

This thread is scary. I think I’m just never gonna get married. Maybe do like those Mormons in the documentary where you have multiple “wives” but no legal tie so the state treats them like single mothers and you get like 5 ebt cards. That would be sick

Mexico is only a 2 hour flight, and cheap as frick if you can do Spirit. $200 round trip to cancun. Then take a transfer to the ferry. Then take the ferry to the isle of women.

Or go to Tulum or Balacar. Plenty of English speaking hot latinas.

probably better than telling my very pregnant wife many years ago, when she was horny as a goat, that I don't do fat chicks

For me communication is what killed it. We stopped communicating and other than vacations or dinners out we didn't talk. We started to hate each other's friends.
I left in 2021 and went to Colorado where I met with a friend who was going to get me to manage his business. I went there 3 times in a few months to look for a place. So I was ready to bounce and was going to just leave my house and all behind. Then we got back together but it was never the same. I wanted to leave in 2022 but we had 6 vacations planned that year so that kept me around. Then I was telling people "well I'm going to stick around until December '23 because we are going to Hawaii".

It got to be that only trips were keeping me with her. I realized there wasn't love. I couldn't think of the last time I told her I loved her.
I was done. So I guess it's a little different than your situation.

I'm fine with the split. Just knowing she jumped into something right away was odd. But I don't hate her. We are still civil. I let her come get the dogs and I still take one of her daughters out to the occasional dinner because we both love Korean food and I'll talk Kpop with her.
Not my kids though, was just a step dad for 10 years. The older kid hasn't said a word to me since the split. So I decided not to give her the car I bought for her(she has two more months of permit driving before she gets her license) Which is what the ex is currently upset at me about.
But I've been using it as my daily driver.
